Tokyo Drift Pro Pilot Skills 787 Osaka

[@johnstanley7874]

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 💯

[@ralfbaechle]

Trust me, even a student pilot should be able to do that with confidence towards the end of his PPL training. But when doing it for the first time, even if successful it's nerve rattling beyond description.

[@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!

[@cremebrulee4759]

Very skilled pilot.

it's called Slip Slidin' Away

[@karloarsch1579]

Nice curve, but we do not see that very often on YT, because its hard to film it. My compliments go to the camera man, what a shot!

[@worldaviation4k]

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

[@borisglevrk]

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.

[@Benis650]

What a beautiful landing! I've watched quite a few crosswind landings on KZbin, but this video offers the most stunning perspective I've ever seen. You are really skilled, and I pay my respects to you

[@worldaviation4k]

Yeah, this runway use is very rare and annoying for me haha, 6 weeks of time waiting again since then. I went last month, nice green grass now instead of brown grass etc.

That was a poem.. I know it's just a plane, but the pilot made it poetic.

This captain WROTE THE BOOK on crosswind landings. Nice job, skipper!

[@briangibbs3774]

That pilot loves his job! To my amateur's eye, that was a perfect 45-degree cross-wind landing. He made that bird fly steadily as a rock!

[@ssnerd583]

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

[@SSluke55]

通常は南側からアプローチして着陸しますが風向きによってこのように北側からアプローチして着陸することがあります。パイロットの技量も凄いがこの動画の撮影の技量も凄い。素晴らしい！

[@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*

[@enroscado]

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

[@yankie]

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

[@prodottinotevoli]

There's something strange. The airport described is in the middle of Osaka Bay on the sea. Where are we here?

[@enroscado]

@@prodottinotevoli somewhere north-west of the airport, at least 5Km away I would guess. Perhaps close to here: maps.app.goo.gl/muRmoBWVXux16HKY8

@@prodottinotevoli ITAMI

[@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。

[@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.

[@firesuch]

Incredible pilot … and incredible cameraman! Lovely shot! 👍🏻

[@albertsmedley3636]

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 ....

[@noseeum6385]

Art without drama. That was pretty and worth the wait. Thanks.

[@worldaviation4k]

Thanks very much hopefully I can try again with better zoom

[@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

[@Hiro-jr7qs]

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

[@cdpond]

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.

[@alpurl]

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.

[@힐만94]

aah love it, rwy 14l/r approach... 😍 it seems in a momment the plane just floating mid-air above osaka 🥰

[@johnkilgore1055]

Not a “Tokyo Drift”, but a “crab” followed by a Forward Slip”. A basic technique taught to every beginning pill. But, exquisite execution by the pilot!

[@TactileCoder]

That's a Tokyo drift

[@rezamostafid8810]

Beautifully captured...Kudos....great background sound....though I couldn't make out most of the chatter except someone was being asked to contact Tokyo Control (?) on 133.5....and that are some touch-and-gos going on somewhere 😅

[@trkayani4949]

Wow awesome piloting skills with cross wind landing. Bravo 🎉

[@worldaviation4k]

Thanks for the visit

[@timmcknight1418]

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...

[@worldaviation4k]

yep it is very rare, annoyingly rare haha

[@pukaseek]

Holy s&$t! That is one hell of a pilot. To know how much to overshoot so that cross wind brings plane back on strip. That is mad skills.

[@FeryTaula]

The pilot is enjoying for this extreme maneuver. He is waiting for this great moment 🎉

[@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).

[@МихаилВалюта]

Заход на посадку - это уже не "коробочкой", это уже какой то "восьмёрочкой" :)) Ребята молодцы!

[@Trump2024Election]

The pilot was well prepared. He knew in advance what the guts wind was 20 mph - 30 mph is not too bad to make a magnificent short cut landing. Nicely executed. 😅

[@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.

[@bobbys2160]

I've made this approach and landing into downtown Osaka hundreds of times in a 747 back in the 90'S then we ended up going to KIX airport

[@jackfrost8439]

Looks a lot like a typical tactical military approach and landing.

[@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).
