After the massive amount of messages on social media and a successful collaboration with the guys from AIRLINE VIDEOS who allowed to use their video, here you have the ATC from the Lufthansa hard landing at LAX a few days ago. Not too much, but enough to hear the humble voice of the trainee pilot after his bounced landing. Go for it, dude. Better next time!

[@mikedeal3466]

I had over 21,000 hours in the 747-422. I can attest I have made a few, well, too many bad landings, and few which required a go around. That approach looked ok in the clip, until the late flare, and maybe a bit fast. He bounced, and almost got the nose gear. BUT, the pilot flying did the absolute correct fix. He had flying speed, and took it around. He came back in a second time, and landed successfully. Absolutely nothing to criticize here. We've all done it, or you're lying if all those landings were perfect.

[@davidfrench5407]

It looked like a decent sink rate until the mains were about 10-20 feet off the pavement, then it looked like the lift just went away, and it dropped hard that last 10 feet. Maybe his speed burned off, and the lift just went away faster than he expected? Good to not throw the stick full forward and try to force it, good that he went around.

This is the type of thing that has to make you respect the amount of engineering that goes into modern airplanes. The stress on the struts, wheels, tires... everything just in the gear... amazing. Glad they were able to make it on the 2nd attempt! No bad feelings for the pilot, this is one he'll never forget and hopefully learn from and look back at in the future and think "whoa, rookie!" All good from here onwards!

[@Sweetlyfe]

I destroyed brand new lower control arm and the right new lower ball joint snapped because the manufacturer didn’t put any grease in the ball joint, and that was hitting a big pothole that was tiny the day before after some flooding, I was traveling at 120kmh though I was lucky as although I lost control with the steering wheel snap back, I just took my foot off the accelerator, and I ended up in the opposite lane, but thankfully I just had paddocks either side of the road at that spot and no other cars coming in the other lane. The ball joint snapped after I got to work and went to turn right so I had been at a stop, so it was very low speed thank goodness. My mechanic had another guy do his engine mounts that were new the same way the parts were from the same company.

I do mistakes at work now and then, despite been working there for 15 years. That is just, how it works. And everything went as it should: Perfectly executed go-around and then a new try. And the plane is designed to take really hard landings. The brutal tests that are done on wings and landing gears and frame are amazing, and terrifying, to watch!

[@Eddyspeeder]

The good news in this video is that Lufthansa is obviously planning to keep their Queens of the Sky in passenger operation for a longer period of time. Recently they had to cancel several transatlantic flights due to a shortage in available pilots with a 747 type rating (due to illness). So, to the pilot in this video: keep at it! 👍🏻 We.need you to keep the 747s up. And watch some videos in which Kelsey (74Gear) admits how he has slammed the plane into the ground but that he has been lucky that nobody filmed it. (Nowadays at LAX - no chance!) Just like him, I’m sure this will have been a valuable learning experience. Good luck!

That Jetblue pilot was already cracking up while watching that landing. 😅

His second landing was butter. You could have circumcised a gnat in any seat on the plane. Butter.

[@VASAviation]

I doubt he landed the second time

[@batshevanivylerner8582]

it was the captain who landed the second time, not the trainee.

Sometimes learning what not to do is just as valuable as what TO do. He did that on this day. 4 out of 10 (on the Richter Scale) on the landing
