Emergency Landing! Lufthansa Airbus A340-300 no flaps/high speed landing at Frankfurt Airport

[@mlosuno402]

Problems or not I'd say the A340 is by far the best looking Airbus

[@subzero7291]

True and i love the Livery

[@ami6272]

MLosUno And one of the best engineered, that plane is insanely safe.

[@visionist7]

I hate that it's being taken out of service :-(

[@TheRailfanningBirdwatcher]

Felice Graziano ikr?

[@bobalobalie]

IT IS! Especially with the newer engines. I personally wasn't a fan of the underpowered(for the A340) RR engines on earlier models. For Boeing their best looking aircraft ever made was the 757s, something about that nose just makes her look amazing.

[@TheProPilot]

A340 + no flaps = one heck of a long roll out!

[@teves_9]

That’s only the small version of it, not the A340-600. It’s similar to the A330-300.

[@fly2cgnaviation83]

It was position 1. So there was at least a little speed reduction

[@iain8837]

So long the camera ran out of battery

[@cheneyxwu]

The landing was actually​ better than most of the landing with flaps and with everything. Perfect landing by the skilled pilot!

[@andytothesky]

I'm surprised they didn't try and shoot for somewhere with a dry runway but I can't fault them for executing a perfect flapless landing. Good job!

[@ericklein5097]

That was my first thought. Hot landing with no flaps isn't a huge deal if you have airports around with 10,000+ foot runways. I know for logistics reasons its best to divert back to your point of origin but in this case I'm really surprised they didn't try another Northern European airport with a long, dry runway since Lufthansa operates out of so many. I don't know what their hubs are but that also might play a role in getting a a new aircraft while this one goes to maintenance. I'm going to guess Frankfurt has full maintenance facilities Guess that goes to show how confident these pilots are handling these aircraft even with a crucial system not functioning. They can take off on one engine (for twin jets), they can fly with an engine out for quite some time.....I would imagine the limiting factor in this scenario is just if the engines have reverse thrusters and how much heat the brakes can take. I'd assume emergency vehicles are there for brake fires as the primary concern. Departing the runway and going into the grass or beyond the runway would of course be worst case scenario.

[@lucaas]

What a catch! Would you be okay with me featuring this in an episode of Weekly Dose of Aviation? Of course you will be credited both in the video and in the description.

[@ReverseThrustAviation]

Hi thanks a lot, sure!

[@madrx2]

I was on a virgin Australia 737-8 from Melbourne to Newcastle that landed without flaps. They didn't even announce it to us, I only noticed when I glanced out the window to see us moving a third faster than normal . I tensed up a bit, I've never heard reverse thrust that loud before .

[@ReverseThrustAviation]

Interesting... Thank you very much for watching and your comment, greatly appreciate it :)

[@CharlieND]

Yikes! This was one lucky catch! I'm glad everything turned out okay.

[@ReverseThrustAviation]

Absolutely, I have been at Fra for only one day, so it fascinates me even more that I was able to film such a rare event. I'm also glad that everything turned out well; fortunately, the pilots are trained for those scenarios pretty well making these landings without flaps admittedly risky but not dangerous. Thank you very much for watching and your support, I greatly appreciate it! :)

[@RossAviationWorld]

Wow, very interesting video mate! Great footage, and I really liked how you included the routing at the beginning. Glad everything turned out safely.

[@ReverseThrustAviation]

You are absolutely right. Fortunately, nothing bad happened after this emergency but I think it's not that dangerous for everyone's safety as the flight crews are very skilled and well trained for this events. However, thank you very much for watching and your great words, it really means a lot to me that you enjoyed it.

[@picturemassa4974]

It was so good that the A340 had ended up making a safe landing with no flaps down in the heavy rain! Another great professional video!!! Liked a super lot!

[@ReverseThrustAviation]

Yep, the pilots did a very praiseworthy job during these challenging conditions but luckily they are well trained for these scenarios... Anyways, thank you very much for watching and your kind words once again, it really means a lot to me mate!

Now there's an odd view, a A340 landing with just the slats, no flaps. Good catch. Nice detail with the route before the landing.

Yeah, was pretty spectacular; especially during these tough weather conditions. Anyway, many thanks for watching and your feedback, greatly appreciate it!!

[@pidddi1234]

I flew to Atlanta with the D-AIGN A340 in August 2017. Very smooth flight back then! Glad that it’s „just“ the flaps on this particular plane and not sth more serious like a fire damage.

[@ReverseThrustAviation]

Nice to hear that you had a smooth flight with this aeroplane, would actually love to fly with this beauty one day... And true, a flap issue is - compared to a fire damage or for example an engine problem - not too serious and relatively easy to fix. Nevertheless, thank you very much for watching and your comment, I honestly greatly appreciate your support!

Great footage you prepared. So it was a no-flaps landing, what kind of problems did they run into?

A340 pilots, how fast do you normally land in a flap failure like this?

[@finleybaverstock7302]

medviation most haven’t experienced to be honest so a bit of a difficult question

[@joelzimmerman9955]

They have to calculate between the actual weight, the LDA, the CG and the variable wind condition to reach the best ground speed to get the best Vref... most of pilot would like to req hold for calculate at this moment while burn the fuel. at 738 and 772 flapless landing would catch Vref at +30/+40/+45
