Pilot Extends Landing Gear Too Late

For all those commenting about the late gear extension of the Atlas B744: this obviously was a post-maintenance acceptance flight, where in some cases, the GPWS must be checked by getting the “too low gear” auto callout.

[@RogerEvans-dx4cs]

Thanks for the clarification....to be honest I couldn't quite believe it either. Isn't normal procedure on an ILS approach to select gear down at the outer marker? Well, it was in my day but then I was flying when Pontius was a pilot. I quite agree that when under testing conditions normal procedures are not followed. Plus even at 500 feet, at normal rate of descent, even though it looks a bit hairy, still enough time to extend the gear- but not to make a habit of it!

Obviously no problem with late landing gear, clean approach and land.

The pilot most likely was a bit short on landing speed and decided to hold off on the drag from the gear instead of bumping up the throttles.. FAA frowns because if there is a gear malfunction you have less time to abort then you would over 1 angle..

[@robertbate5790]

Thank you for that. 👍👍. What looks good to an outsider can be a cover up, lol 🤣

[@nigeldepledge3790]

It wasn't a clean approach, because the aircraft was mot ready to land when it should have been. That was not a by-the-book landing, and there's a good reason why pilots are supposed to go around if the aircraft is not ready to land below its minimum height above the ground.

How did you measure the distance from ground on your camera to ascertain it was too low? Just a question.

[@b101uk9]

based on a ~50sec clip to the point of touchdown, they could have gone 160KTS / 3600sec * ~50sec / 3 * 1000 = ~740ft altitude, or 140KTS / 3600sec * ~50sec / 3 * 1000 = 648ft, alternatively, if you do it from the moment the gear was down to the moment of touchdown, and if we use 150kts being the average of 160kts and 140kts, then ~150KTS / 3600 * ~36sec / 3 * 1000 = ~500ft, in other words in all likelihood the aircraft was above 500ft even if you waited in the clip until the gear was extended, given the ~36sec between then and touchdown and it was probably going >150kts, the rule of thumb used by pilots given the standard ~3deg glideslope is distance from the runway in NM divided by 3 multiplied by 1000 equals FT you should be at above airport elevation, e.g. 9NM out / 3 * 1000 = 3000ft, but you can use an aspect of that by guessing the aircraft speed and thus time to cover distance thus altitude at the start.

Based on my work involving airliner performance, my guess is "no" unless perhaps it was a derated-thrust takeoff. BTW, I'm realizing that my wind shift scenario above doesn't hold water.

Ryanair: Can you drive a car? Prospective employee: Yes. Ryanair: Good, you're halfway there already.

Late landing gear extension, but not too late

[@jarda1986]

2:12 was it empty? Or how come?

[@Chrish23]

The Aerosucre pilot trainer nods approvingly that the Atlas Air pilots ignore the stupid aircraft warnings. The 'too low gear' warning should only be used for when the crew is running low on drugs.

[@labrumadi229]

Ryanair wasn‘t THAT late as you might think ! Norwichs runway 09/27 is about 6040ft long. The touchdown zone mark is about 1000 feet off the threshold mark. In the video, the main gear lifts just before the TD-zone mark, so there were enough space. It‘s just the „wavy“ area before the spot, were you guess, that there is no runway (but it is, look/focus the marks in the video)

"KZbin channel extends the meaning of the word 'too' too much"

[@petesmith9472]

If you check the windsock at 2:20 there is a howling headwind to assist the Emirates flight.

[@applejacks971]

That Eurowings A321 smacked the runway like it made a joke about its wife or something.

[@craigb3426]

KEEP MY WIFE’S RUBBER OUT YO DAMN ASPHALT!

[@enigmawyoming5201]

I saw Kelsey wave at the camera from that Atlas Air 747. Must’ve been back when he was still an FO.

[@most-average-athelete]

That A380 takeoff almost looks "fake" as if in one of those cheap movies someone tied a rope to lift that huge thing off the ground...

[@shaunfogarty5744]

It was fake- good eye. I am a little stunned at how many people think that was a real and come up with all sorts of plausibility theories to support their confirmation bias.

[@dutchflats]

Atlas Air 747 a bit light on fuel remaining?

[@FlyinRedBaron]

I can’t believe they didn’t understand the warning..

[@Richard_L_Y]

So why didn't it then? Or did it; ie. give a too low gear warning below 1k ft; or did it?

[@keithmcfaul9310]

The only time when it's too late to extend the landing gear is AFTER they have landed. As long as they extend the gear any time BEFORE the landing it's not too late. The really important thing is as long as they get the gear down before they land - anything else is just gravy.

[@dentalnovember]

I was expecting to see a landing gear collapse.

[@SeanAwning-er4ww]

@@dentalnovember Or a go-around.

[@nobodydoesithalfasgoodasyou]

They all did great and I'm so proud of them 💪🥰🥳

[@hyphencubed]

Ryanair pilots: We paid for this runway, we're using it all!

[@ReidsPlanes]

Not gonna lie that Atlas Air 747 landing was beautiful. 😩

[@ChromieandSnowie]

Ryanair?!?!?!? 2:02

[@Calmdown1354]

A similar thing happened with a TUI 737 back in March. Serious software glitch caused a fault with the Auto Throttles. I'm definitely avoiding Boeing these days!!

[@JomAndoo-m2h]

in winds these aircraft land like sideways I seen. Why do they not also build the runway at a sideways angle too?

[@Aviationeditz330]

You owe us 5 seconds buddy 😂

[@AaronSmith-kr5yf]

I bet that was a fun ride in that A380 taking off. Several years ago flying on a Delta 757 out of Atlanta to O'Hare they did a full power takeoff. Plane was half full, doubt it had a full load of fuel due to the short hop. That was freaking nuts, I swear we were flying up at a 45 degree angle trying to get above a line of thunderstorms.

[@FlorG.Studios_Oficial]

You owe us 5 seconds of aviation.

[@raygale4198]

The Ryan air took off with no flaps extended?

[@rtbrtb_dutchy4183]

Definitely had flaps.

[@guntherd.2005]

That Ryanair, were his flaps in the take-off position? Looks like a clean wing...

[@Rage-bo9ww]

are you gonna do a new video on the brazil one?

[@MrAstronus]

There was a pilot from a former swiss airline, with a long career, even flight instructor. Was asked by an unexperienced co-pilot if it's possible to retract the gear on the ground and the captain said no, it's not possible and levered the switch, the gear retracted and the airplane was a wreck. He had several more incidents and was every time allowed to keep his license and his position as flight instructor of the airline. Some years later he was responsible for a fatal crash were all died, Melanie Thornton was also on that plane.

[@sotm6078]

He was NOT too late extending the gear, but rather right on time!!!!!

[@irafair3015]

Right! Too late would be after they landed. 😄

[@mikeizzano172]

Maybe not textbook on the landing gear , but they were down when he hit the runway they held the plane up , I’ve seen late on landing gear (military) systems failure caused it .

[@fritzlange7934]

How did the f15 slow down? 😬

[@Anthony-fd8mh]

Everything in these videos looked perfectly fine to me except the hard landing one. I hope you guys are not going to try jump on the click bait bandwagon.

[@Htiler]

How come, when a plane comes in to land its not pointing down at the front? Its pointing going up, ever notice?

[@marcmcreynolds2827]

That higher "angle of attack" allows the wing to produce more lift at a lower speed than would otherwise be the case. Lower speed is better for landing.

[@BGRUBBIN]

That Atlas Air pilot has done that a thousand times.

[@rosswayland5468]

Love your videos. Been watching planes forever 😊

[@antoniokastrocarlisledemel6617]

The 747 might've deployed the landing gear late but the landing is still a solid 7-7.5 for me

[@FLYAVIAT-o6o]

GENIUS DESIGN

[@ronaldmessina4229]

@flyaviat-060 I most certainly do agree with u, but the american a/c shows that the u.s. is a very bad idea 👎 & that they do NOT belong on the r/ws of other nations 😢😢😢
