[@fluchterschoen]

In the 80s, people going to the beach would take these "wind breaks" - they were simple bits of brightly coloured canvas with bamboo posts that you stuck into the sand. But they really cut down the wind. If plane drivers had a button to deploy something similar around the wings when they were coming in to land, it would dramatically cut down wind gusting and make for much safer, more colourful landings.

[@Badmansband]

More carbon tax. At least by 1000%. Climate change will bring down an airliner very soon. No price on pollution.

[@mjwndave]

After the A350, A340 and A330 I genuinely expected the next clip to be an A320 😆

[@WhiskeyGulf71]

It’s an awkward situation when wind shear pushes the plane down because right afterwards the wind then dramatically lifts as was seen by the Cathay Pacific A350 as it struggled to drop it’s nose wheel after initially being pushed down hard. Ideally the pilots would recognise the wind shear & go around before being slammed. I would imagine that was extremely uncomfortable for the passengers & potentially damaging to the plane.

[@rtbrtb_dutchy4183]

Getting the nose down has nothing to do with windshear. A proper windshear is associated with a microburst. Also, when you fly into windshear, you always have an increase in headwind first and then a decrease in headwind. It’s never the other way around. This might not even have been windshear related.

[@WhiskeyGulf71]

@@rtbrtb_dutchy4183 i never said anything about head winds though. When the rush of air hits the grounds it then pushes out & back up as it equalises. A micro burst is a whole other thing to wind shear, one i have seen with my own eyes. A micro burst would have slammed the plane hard in to the ground.

[@rtbrtb_dutchy4183]

@@WhiskeyGulf71 a micro burst is a whole other thing to wind shear? Uh, no. Wind shear can happen during certain meteorological conditions. Not every wind shear is a micro burst, but every microburst is a wind shear. Windshear can happen in the vertical and horizontal. It’s associated with jet streams, mountain waves, fronts, temperature inversions, thunderstorms, and close to the ground and the most dangerous ones, microbursts (or downdrafts). So to say that a microburst is a whole other thing is false. Winds shear is the result of the microburst. You said the winds dramatically lifts, which would struggle getting its nose down. That’s not the case.

[@hotrodray6802]

You are clueless as to what's going on.

[@Michael_W007]

For the A350, was that just a poor crab by the flying pilot or were the conditions such that most pilots would have hit the Togo?

[@jpatrickmoore5158]

0:45 for example, plane flying at 150 knots, wind blowing from the front at 10 knots, stall speed is 140 knots. Wind suddenly changes from 10 knot headwind to 10 knot tailwind, now the plane is falling at 130 knots.

[@ghostrider-be9ek]

@@rtbrtb_dutchy4183 you are obviously not from the industry. It was common knowledge that the 343 was underpowered - it would over temp its core very easily - in fact there were several near misses at certain airports because of the lack of power and nil climb performance

[@rtbrtb_dutchy4183]

@@ghostrider-be9ek LOL, I’m type rated in the A340. Every airplane is certified to lose one engine on takeoff at MTOW. So a 340-300 at 270 tons or a 340-500 at 370 tons has pretty close to the same performance numbers. It just has a bad reputation because the engines look so small.

Windshear is defined as a sudden change in wind speed and/or direction. No such thing as negative windshear.

[@flops1804]

Pretty sure its not called "Negative Windshear".. Its just called "Windshear"! Windsheat is just a sudden change in wind speed / direction... Not sure what you mean by negative windshear in that first clip.

[@mikeybhoutex]

It sure felt negative by everyone on that airplane, that's for sure.

[@flops1804]

@@mikeybhoutex wdym?

[@jjxtwo1]

Copied and pasted this: Positive windshear is a sudden increase in headwind, making the airspeed rise and making the aircraft fly above the glide slope. Negative windshear, on the other hand, is a sudden decrease in headwind, it doesn't necessarily need to be tailwind, just an important drop in headwind. reducing the airspeed and making the aircraft fly below the glide slope.

[@CapStar362]

Pretty sure you don't know what the heck you are talking about. Negative Windshear is when the airspeed suddenly drops. Positive Windshear is when the speed suddenly increases. Just because you have never heard the term, does not mean it does not exist.

I have a clip from Maho Beach, Sint Marteen, how can I share that with you?

[@jamesclark4]

Windsheer is not a change in airspeed its wind moving vertically

[@princekamoro3869]

That would be an up/downdraft, no? Windsheer is different wind velocities (speed or direction) at different altitudes. Or at least that's what weather people talk about when looking for tornado prone weather.

[@rtbrtb_dutchy4183]

You are right…and wrong. A collum of air comes down vertically and hits the ground and bounces circularly in all directions. That means to a flying airplane, it will first fly through an increased headwind, followed shortly after by a downdraft, followed shortly by an increased tailwind.

[@ThisHandleFeatureIsStupid]

[@LightsCameraJake]

[@andreask9382]

What’s the difference between „negative“ and „positive“ windshear?

[@fluchterschoen]

Positive windshear results in passengers giggling and being sick, like they've just come off a rollercoaster. Negative windshear is when they nearly crash and die, like when they go on a ride at a fairground operated by Travellers that isn't properly licenced by the Health and Safety Executive.

[@desmond-hawkins]

As far as I understand, negative windshear is when the wind at the surface is stronger than the wind above the runway, while positive windshear is the opposite, when the plane experiences a sudden increase in wind speed as it approaches to touch down. Note that windshear can come from different directions, and I believe that when people talk about negative windshear it's mostly about a sudden drop in *headwind* more than sideways bursts.

[@CapStar362]

Negative Windshear is when the airspeed suddenly drops Positive Windshear is when it suddenly increases. its just relation to airspeed decreasing or increasing.

[@ptrinch]

One is optimistic, the other is pessimistic.

[@jamesclark4]

There's no such thing it's just called windsheer and it's air moving vertically

[@UnshavenStatue]

The first clip doesn't look like windshear to me, merely a late flare. Pitching up drives the tail down, so a late flare can cause trouble, and sometimes a harder main gear impact than no flare at all. In this case, the wind looked steady against the late flare. Pilots recovered reasonably well in the steady winds.
