I believe the Azores clip was a celebratory flypast when they retired their A310 back in 2018. No passengers were harmed.

[@WhiskeyGulf71]

It was shown on this very channel ! I guess he’s just recycling old clips now 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@LDNT14]

That is correct. And its also a repost.

[@Spyke-lz2hl]

The cockpit view is pretty cool. It’s impossible to keep track of every clip, I don’t mind a few repeats here and there…

[@kingcaper7816]

What I would give to be the only passenger on board during these flights or test flights for aircraft 😩 true roller coaster experience 😂

[@felixx321]

@@WhiskeyGulf71 Literally my first thought as soon as I saw this, was wondering if it was Lucaas that had uploaded the other post. Wasn't that long ago.. tbh it would be hard to repost any of these unnoticed since they are all very memorable

[@ArtCooler1]

Years ago I serviced an office building HVAC system in San Diego, CA, that was under the approach path for Lindberg Field. While on the roof, airliners would pass low and directly overhead, to where I could clearly see individual rivets on the fuselage. The aircraft would then drop below the elevation of the roof shortly afterward as it neared the airport runway. After passing, not only would I hear that wake turbulence sound, it would also send nearby palm trees swaying vigorously. I always thought that whole experience was very cool.

[@GarrettWorcester]

So, the 2-hour HVAC service call turned into a 5-hour "Um, I can't believe I brought 7 bad contactors with me - oh, here comes another jet!" (I mean, I would've done that, but that's just me) 😂

[@mrkiplingreallywasanexceed8311]

SUPERB! Who knew a wake vortex made a sound??!!😆❤❤❤❤

[@t.mendous7922]

I’m a private pilot and A&P but didn’t know that either!

[@DBroMusic]

Just engines, and air flow. I didn't hear any vortex. What sound are you talking about?

[@wallyman292]

@@DBroMusic Watch again and wait for it. . . A handful of seconds after the jet has left the frame, you hear a weird, low-pitch sound that kinda reminds me of a dog whining to be let outside.

[@sheerluckholmes5468]

@@DBroMusic Vortices are air flow, ever heard the wind howl, the sound at the end of that clip was wind howling caused by tip vortex.

[@4stringmanagmaildcom]

Airfoils don't stop producing lift at touchdown. What changed was was the spoiler deployed and that completely changed the airflow in that area that's why the vortex disappeared.

[@hotrodray6802]

Actually when it touched down the wing wasn't supporting the weight any more and lift was reduced enough that the pressure differential of bottom to top of the airfoil stopped producing fog. Fog is produced by the sudden pressure drop.

[@rtbrtb_dutchy4183]

@@hotrodray6802 this is correct. Also the angle of attack is reduced upon touchdown.

[@4stringmanagmaildcom]

@@hotrodray6802 The wing is supporting weight, the full weight no. Lift does not vanish the moment the plane touches down. It bleeds off gradually as the speed of the airflow over the wing gets reduced as the plane brakes and or uses revers thrust.

[@Twobarpsi]

Exactly. Any time air is flowing over the wing, it is producing lift. Wheels on the ground or not.

[@rtbrtb_dutchy4183]

@@4stringmanagmaildcom the angle of attack is reduced immediately. This is why the vortices disappear. Not because of the spoilers. This is why vortices appear upon lift off, not while going down the runway. Hot rod is correct with his explanation.

[@ErikBernethy]

I have a flight path above my house. It's high enough that you mostly don't hear the jets, but occasionally I hear that wake vortices sound. Always wondered what it was, now I know.

[@mikewhipkey6863]

I live near Arnold Palmer Regional airport and always hear it from the incoming Spirit flights

[@jaylenjackson2403]

I live under the approach path for DFW International - and almost every day around rush hour we’ll get 3 lines of planes all landing parallel to each other - all flying over my house! It’s pretty cool 👍🏽

[@mikewhipkey6863]

@@jaylenjackson2403 that would be interesting.. on certain days flights departing Washington Dulles fly directly over here.. even at 30000ft the wide bodies sound pretty cool

[@rtbrtb_dutchy4183]

@@mikewhipkey6863 u can’t hear airplanes that are 30000 feet up.

[@AmriTiBriOlym]

@@rtbrtb_dutchy4183 No you can. In silent surroundings especially at midnight you can hear them even when you’re inside your own room for wide body airplanes. As for the narrow bodied ones the sounds are fainter so you really need to get away from other noises & be outside to hear them. They sound very different at cruise levels, only deep rumbling sounds without the jet whine.

[@desmond-hawkins]

Wow! I had never heard wake vortices, I didn't even know it was actually possible to hear them. There are videos of planes flying through smoke (usually at airshows) where you can see them developing very clearly, it would be great to see their shape _while_ also hearing the sound they make and how the two transform over time, how they relate.

[@benrig89]

The difference in pressure between the upper and lower surfaces of the wing is immense, and it creates such intense vortices at the wingtips (where the high pressure lower wing air 'curves around' to the top wing) that a small GA aircraft following too close behind an airliner can be flipped upside down in a heartbeat due to them.

[@joshs4594]

I did a lot of closeup plane spotting at JFK in NY years ago and the Lockheed 1011 Tristar had the most audible wake vortices of any aircraft of it's time. I'm really glad you got this one. Thanks. 👍

[@justme-hh4vp]

I'm sure that A310 is a repeat but the 757 vortex sound was something special!

[@cheztaylor8]

5 extra seconds of Aviation. Can't complain about that.

[@Jin-Ro]

I've never heard a wake vortex before. I lived next to Manchester airport for two decades.

[@ClayLoomis1958]

I live in California and this is the first time I've heard one too.

[@ayjay749]

You clearly never sat on the outdoor chairs at the garden centre coffee shop that was opposite the end of Shadowmoss Road before they built the A555 then! We joked it must be a cloaked Klingon Bird of Prey following a jet in! Such a weird thing to hear.

[@wallyman292]

@@ayjay749 Awesome! I'm jealous! I'm with the others. . . never knew this was even a thing!

[@Alxium]

That A310 flypast is one of the most Kerbal things I've seen in a while, complete with pitch oscillations.

[@Bendillious]

Really interesting to see how the plane in the first clip seems not to be moving at all, but it's still a very bumpy ride for the people inside. This could maybe be a bit reassuring for people who are afraid of turbulences.

[@marspp]

Not so sure about that: it looks pretty bouncy from outside too. Would love to have been on that.

[@Bendillious]

@@marspp It sure does! But from the outside you can see how easily the plane handles the turbulences. You can see that it is not in danger at all, as someone with fear of flying would probably assume in conditions like this. It’s just interesting to see the comparison between inside and outside view during turbulence :)

[@bpdp379]

The amount of input from the pilot always amazes me. It looks like the plane should be going like a pinball

[@gs1100ed]

Makes me wonder how in the world an untrained pilot flew into the Pentagon?

[@bpdp379]

@@gs1100ed HH was a US licensed pilot and he ran several sessions on the 737 simulator. I’d say that qualifies as trained enough to point an aircraft at a stationary point and fly it into it.

[@flyingmyles]

This might be my favourite week yet! The sound from the Tui 757... wow 👌 Can't beat the wings of a 787 either... what flex!

[@BM-od7kb]

Pilot in the Azores clips was working it. Good vid to show someone who thinks planes basically fly themselves. Outside looks fine, ride is smooth, floating.... inside the pilot is doing a lot to make that happen.

[@ramathorn1982]

I love that every runway in the Azores begins and ends with a cliff...

[@bikeny]

I'm with you, but only as long we're not flying there. Makes for good video while seated firmly on the ground.

[@Rikrioss]

Hey! I'm from the Azores and I work for Sata Airlines (First one in the video). Our airports do indeed start and end in a cliff, but you don't need to worry, they are very very safe and our pilots are trained to the maximum to land/take off in these runways with all kinds of weather conditions. Don't be afraid to Visit us! It's a beautiful place!

[@sizzlechest6070]

I guess I missed the part where the pilot flies too fast.

[@RossNixon]

Same. If nothing broke off the plane then it wasn't going too fast.

[@DJAYPAZ]

I’ve heard that sound many times but never knew it was caused by wake vorticies.

[@groovygab2054]

That Air Canada landing should have been a go around imo

[@jasonkurtz5232]

2:20 That is what we are hearing on the planes headed towards IAD as they pass over at around 10k ft. Always sounded like they were throttling back when in reality it’s wake vorticees. Too cool

one of the best 3 minutes of aviation videos imo

[@themindset3329]

Man that 757 really is a beast, can't wait to start working on them!!

[@ConservativeMan59]

I’m an airline Captain with lots of years behind the yoke but even all that experience doesn’t shelter me from making mistakes. I watch lots of aviation videos just to learn from other pilot’s mistakes and I try very hard not to criticize them but Air Canada should’ve gone around after the enormous bounce. Bounced landings like that almost assuredly guarantee a tail strike.

[@danielfreifeldtaisen]

Thank you! Finally someone who mentions that they should go around. The other videos, yes. Nice. Cool. But that air Canada, he should really not have landed. Just press TOGA come back again. Not a big deal.

[@csaba5415]

That pilot in the first low pass was badass! Otherwise I’d like to applaud the channel for the variety of different situations collected lately. Last but not least I often have the impression of Tokyo Narita based on these clips that conditions may be a challenge. Not sure how right or wrong I am though…

[@gms2k]

Thank you ! This wake vortices... I live a bit away in the flight path of Stuttgart Airport. Every now and then I hear this noise, but I never knew what it was. I always thought it came from the throttling of the engines and always wondered why. Above all, the aircraft here are too high to hear the engines at all. Now I know what it is !

never considered that wake vortices would create sound. makes sense though, tornados also produce sound before they even touch down... interesting to hear :)

[@MrZeissOne]

Nicely coordinated climb-out, after the fly-by.

[@BradFalck-mn3pc]

The best Azores clip is the Canadian AirTransat pilot who ran out of fuel in a fully loaded aircraft and glided halfway across the Atlantic ocean to touch down at the same airport with the only damage being a full set of blown tires......if I'm in a busted plane I want a Canadian pilot

[@markhilsen2528]

Azores's clip was a good example of a pilot doing a pitch PIO -- a Pilot Induced Oscillation. You can see it on the approach to the flyby from both views, inside and outside. For those who would say, "But he's correcting for turbulence, and the aircraft nose pitching on this pass was turbulence induced and normal in those conditions" -- turbulence is almost never a rhythmic event that conveniently matches the pilot's control inputs from the cockpit view. His personal technique correction: acknowledge the tendency to a pitch PIO and consciously dampen it in your flying. Or when a copilot notices and comments, let the copilot fly for a few seconds and see if the pitching stops; and when Captain takes over again, pitching resumes. This is an opportunity for people to learn.

[@NomadUniverse]

The vortices dont stop because of touchdown/no lift, they stop because of the warm air sitting just above the runway. Wings still produce lift after touchdown until the plane drops below takeoff speed, which happens relatively quickly after spoiler deployment.

[@SuperpowerBroadcasting]

I didn't realize what wake vortices sounded like from the ground. Woah

[@MCtravler]

I used to have a spot at the western end of Miami International Airport where I’d sit and watch the aircraft flying low overhead, coming in for a landing. Sounded like bull whips cracking in their wake after they passed by.

[@garycard1456]

You've heard of the KITT car in Knightrider? Well the plane coming in to land at 2 mins 13 seconds of this video is the new KITT plane! They have not got round to painting it in suitable KITT livery, yet, though. It was disguised as an ordinary passenger plane in TUI livery. The KITT plane sure sounds cool!

@@isaac7046 It wasn't too fast. The A310 wasn't exceeding any limits and its speed was not the cause of any problems. It was a dishonest description whose only purpose was to generate extra clicks.
