[@MohJam]

LOL yeah thinking that also... isn't that the point?? 🤣 But to be honest the first one on the list seemed to be below the usual glide slope... If they hadn't leveled off for a moment that could have been disastrous... Oooor the pilot thought... Damn... huge crowd! lets make them duck!!! LOL 🤣

[@couchpilot12]

Yep Wellington Airport in New Zealand is one of the hardest Airports to land at. I’m no pilot but have flown to Wellington numerous times mostly on good days but when the weather is especially horrible you know you’re in for a bumpy ride and landing

[@joeythelemur2]

Air New Zealand and turbulence on approach? Windy Wellington, of course!

[@fbello18]

Wellington Airport is famous for the strong cross winds - just like Madeira Airport (Portugal), Ushuaia (Argentina) among other - almost impossible to make stabilized approaches. Pilots must have good skils to land in those places.

[@brian8410]

@ 2:17 don't runways need to be perfectly flat without dips and rises like a motox track? Or is it an illulsion?

[@36minutesago7]

I’m interested in hearing the answer to this.

[@gpaull2]

No they don’t.

[@ikbenspeedy]

I used to think that too but plenty of runways have an incline. It looks more than it is because of the lens

[@sntslilhlpr6601]

It's the long lens (read: high zoom) of the camera. Keep in mind that the main runway at Birmingham is 12,000ft long (3.66km/over 2miles) and based on the markings you're seeing the entire thing in one shot. You'd have to be going supersonic for that hump in the middle to actually feel like a motox track.

[@Nick-Emery]

The approach to BHX is far more of an issue than the bumpy runway… it’s famous for crosswind landing and lots of go-arounds. The biggest problem about BHX is that you get off the plane in Birmingham 🤭 (It’s just a joke, I’m from there)

[@listerofsmeg884]

Er , no it isn't. Wellington boots are named after the Duke of Wellington. Though I'm not sure why ​@@fluchterschoen

[@sammyhill69]

The Duke of Wellington apparently "instructed his shoemaker to create the boot by modifying the design of the Hessian boot".

[@fluchterschoen]

@@listerofsmeg884 that's a popular myth. In fact it was a North Island sheep farmer who wanted a durable waterproof boot to work in. So he went into Dukes shoemakers on Wellington's High Street, and gave them drawings of what he was looking for. They were originally known as Dukes of Wellington boots, then the idea was culturally appropriated by an English convict and mendaciously attributed to The Duke of Wellington. Think about it - where would he find the time to invent footwear in between fighting Napoleon and being Prime Minister?

[@kevinfairclough4619]

It's a camera thing. It's filmed with a long lens, which compress the perspective making the runway look that way.

[@petesmith1924]

Very few runways are actually pan flat. Most have some sort of slope, even undulations like Birmingham. However, it looks flat coming into land or taking off on it - it’s just the long lens, from a long way off, that makes it look like a roller coaster. Manchester RWY23R for example has a hump at the touchdown point. That catches many pilots out as they flare correctly but the runway comes up to meet them!
