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.

[@robertbate5790]

@@nigeldepledge3790 Not doubting that, what I said was, to the uninformed ie, me, it looked ok. Just by chance passing BHX this afternoon I saw a plane dip out of the sky with landing lights on, some way off. Pilot obviously wasn't happy as lights went out and he climbed back into the cloud, presumably for a go around.

[@williamb1880]

No... BIG problem. Aircraft must be stabilized and in landing configuration by 1000' AGL. The fact that these pilots didn't even touch the gear handle until well below 1000' will land them in hot water with their company and maybe even the FAA. Warning system activation is recorded by FDAU and flight WILL be analyzed. At warning activation, crew should have performed a go-around. VERY POOR decision-making to continue approach. Of course, there may be some system malfunction or other contingency that we don't know about that might excuse this seemingly reckless behavior. It is quite scary the caliber of pilots that are being hired these days... many lack the experience needed flying smaller, simpler aircraft.

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.

That RyanAir takeoff may not have been safe, but it made for an incredible piece of footage!

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

[@enigmawyoming5201]

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

[@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.

[@GhostHostMemories]

Wonder if that's @74Gear in the Atlas?

[@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.

[@kmoecub]

Holy schnikies!! I've never flown commercial and not felt the landing gear deploy any later than at the beginning of the approach leg.

[@albertdetjen7151]

Late landing gear extension, but not too late

[@HELSINKIspotting]

Good job mate 👍 Thanks for sharing

[@FlyinRedBaron]

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

[@Juror63]

Ryanair... was that former Aerosecure pilot? LOADED, and making the 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!

[@bigheadache]

Great to see them following the landing checklist

[@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!!

[@RealPlanespoting]

Awesome video 🎉

[@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.

[@peterw2714]

I remember coming into land on a plane and we got close to the runway and then pulled up and went around only to hear the landing here come down for the second attempt at landing 😮😮

[@hyphencubed]

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

[@nobodydoesithalfasgoodasyou]

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

[@Aviationeditz330]

You owe us 5 seconds buddy 😂

[@Derry_Aire]

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

[@FlorG.ModStudiosOficial]

You owe us 5 seconds of aviation.

[@markpalsgrove902]

Great as always, thank you.

[@BigEightiesNewWave]

What if you have a compressor stall on an aircraft carrier? Ocean ditch/ EJECTION SEAT?

[@DJRickValeOfficial]

2:16 INCREDIBLE MANEUVER 💯

[@petesmith9472]

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

[@wannamontana4130]

Did that 737 @2:00 only have minimal flaps deployed during takeoff? Is that why they used so much runway to get up?

[@kiteraven]

Amazing videos!

[@westboundbadger]

Did the Eurowings A 321 land again on the damaged landing gear or did they send someone up to repair it?

[@ronaldtharappel5633]

A380 is such an amazing aircraft!

[@ronaldtharappel5633]

What a beautiful aircraft!

[@nadeemmustafa6450]

NICE VIDEO 👍👍👍
