Tokyo Drift Pro Pilot Skills 787 Osaka

I really hope that you like this video, I will post longer videos from here as I upload them. Finding this location and climbing was a challenge that paid off I think. It's rare that Osaka Itami uses Runway 14 for landings so I think I was lucky to get up there in time to capture these incredible landings. The pilots have great skill for these difficult approaches to the airport. We also had a crosswind so it makes it even more difficult. This video is complete with Air Traffic Control Audio (ATC). Japan Airlines Boeing 787 Landing in a crosswind with a difficult approach. Osaka Itami airport in japanese is 伊丹空港. Like Paro

The one time camera man knew he had one job to do, like the pilot, and did it to perfection.

[@worldaviation4k]

Haha you have the editing software to thank for the smoothness 🙂

[@Beerbatter1962]

Incredible! The pilot's entire approach angle had the extreme crabbing needed already planned. Amazing piloting skills.

[@aichazeigler5688]

😍😍😍😍😍😍

[@josephinenatsui4267]

Extreme 💯

[@andreasgrothues3300]

Great video! What we are seeing is the pilot 'crabbing' into the wind. (Google 'crab angle'). It looks like 'drifting', but we don't use that term here. The aircraft is pointed in a direction different from its heading (the direction it is actually going) to make up for the wind. This part is actually easy. What is hard, and what the pilot did so well, is re-orienting the aircraft in the seconds before touchdown so that the aircraft is now pointing in the same direction it is going. But he still has a crosswind, so he has to lower the upwind wing a bit so that the plane is now 'slipping' into the wind, and staying on the centerline (google sideslip). Great Job, pilot & photographer!

thanks very much, it's a nice spot on the mountain :)

it's not just hard to film, according to Japanese aviation fans, only ONE DIGIT of landings happen on RWY14L/R in RJOO every YEAR. It's just crazy rare.

[@ssnerd583]

Bloody beautiful photography of a bloody marvelous approach and cross wind landing into a difficult airport.

[@fumi.s6621]

This is 14 side landing of Osaka International Airport (ITM, ITAMI Airport). This way is used at only several days in Spring southern wind, about 4 percent of all landing. ITM is used only for domestic flights, and jet planes with three or more engines are prohibited from landing due to noise pollution. On the other hand, until this rule was applied in 2006, large aircraft such as Boeing 747s also made large turns and landed at 14 in the spring. Even now, 777-300s occasionally land in the same way.

[@akatukibilly6545]

大阪空港でのB747最後の離陸を伊丹川のそばから見ました。パイロットのサービスなのか普段は使わない滑走路東端からスタート、六甲の山並みに向かって上昇していくのを 今でも覚えています。

[@worldaviation4k]

*I went back there over the last year three times totalling 6 weeks of waiting for the wind change, while it did change, they don't favor this runway for weaker winds. This video may help me go back there again and with a better camera*

What is your current camera / lens setup? Approximately how far away are your from the runway? Very impressive...

It was really impressive footage though. Equally impressive as this amazing pilot.

[@tatvafnu6604]

Beautiful. The landing itself was long - way at the end of the touchdown zone.

[@JorgeSanchez-wm5ne]

Steep turns over congested areas require altitude and a steep approach. By landing longer, the PIC made it less stressful for the passengers. He had plenty of runway and exited quickly.

I'm a longtime professional pilot, now retired. Yes, that pilot was well trained and did a fine job, but I think fewer camera people could have done that video that the percentage of pilots who could make that landing. Great camera work ....

Sweet video AND pilot work. Nice landing... It wasn't until nearing the end of the final approach when they were lined up and in the crab that I caught on to what was actually happening.

[@marcdb1412]

Wonderful. I have never seen such landing. Great.

[@stesmi]

Absolutely brilliant camerawork and piloting skill. Thank you, and no, editing software doesn't make you not lose what you're filming, like most other videos online where they get what they're filming, losing it, filming something else, then getting it again. Hats off to you. And yes, brilliant piloting as well, he had it all planned out beforehand and did it like any normal landing.

[@worldaviation4k]

Much appreciated! These ones are re-edited and zoomed more so it might look a bit blurred, I hope to get another try with a different camera and more zoom lens, i tried for 5 weeks but no luck yet, I will keep going back

Great movie! I’m an Itami based spotter and I think you are very lucky because it’s not easy to shoot 14 even for us.

[@worldaviation4k]

Yeah it's not easy, I stayed 6 weeks total and didn't get anything. But it did change last month for about 3 hours and I was waiting to fly to itami from Haneda but it stopped on our approach

[@jamesclarke8564]

Landing at ITM can be pretty scary in certain wind conditions, but I've never experienced one like this. Great job in capturing this. If you do the approach into ITM over Osaka downtown at night, it's the nearest thing to flying over Coruscant (in Star Wars).

[@user-wq7jj9zr9r]

I took a few hours of private pilot lessons once upon a time, one of the hardest things I encountered was deciphering what was being said on the radio. I could watch/listen to this video for a hundred years and I would not be able to tell you what all they said. That being said, I assume not all transmissions were in English. And if they were? I'd be screwed. Great crabbing by the pilot.

[@captaindunsell8568]

Btw… the B52 landing gear is designed for this type of approach… the trucks can be turned to line up with the pavement whilst the plane is slipping…

[@AzimuthAviation]

There's nothing more satisfying than a beautiful hand flown visual approach in VMC in command of an airliner. I used to have landing practice competitions with my Fo's. I subtract a few points for more than 1000' past the aim point markers ;)

[@franck7779]

I used to do the same when I was flying many days with the same FO when I was flying on B737-800NG😂😂 Based on the aim point and also the VGTD that we were getting from the system after each landing 😉😉 (vertical G touch Down. It’s not 100% accurate but enough to compete).

Those were some obviously vicious cross winds. Skillful approach and landing.

[@albertsmedley3636]

Gusts are what make cross-winds really vicious. Steady crosswinds are easy.. The pilots have a chart to tell them how much crosswind they can accept but in bad gusty conditions, you just don't know what you are going to get. That's why god created the go-around.

Beautiful landing. This runway usually only gets used when there's a typhoon nearby, as the wind comes in from the east or south. I've seen some pretty impressive crab landings from the riverside path at the end of that runway as well. Awesome to watch the planes wobble around in crosswind gusts before skilful crab manoeuvres get the planes on the ground. A few go-arounds as well...

Yep 100% manual flying. Maybe with auto-throttle as in some companies they authorize their use in 777/787 when flying manually.

[@worldaviation4k]

@@bonbondesel Yes :)

[@brianmckillop5017]

Can every pilot do that?

[@bonbondesel]

@@brianmckillop5017 Any pilot with a valid Type Rating (qualification) on 777/787 with a proper training with this kind of approach. Of course with the minimum crew (1 pilot flying, 1 monitoring). It's like anything in life, some are better than others. This is a crosswind landing after an LDA approach (final approach course not aligned with the runway, way offset). Not easy but not out of the routine skills for a 777/787 pilot. This one was well done. The aircraft floated a little bit crabing due to crosswinds. If the aircraft could not touch down at the end of the markings, the crew would have done a go around. So it was not that easy this day then we can say the approach and landing were well executed with these conditions. Crosswind landings and approaches with a course not alighed with the runway tend to be more challenging.
