Ryanair Pilot Forgets To Flare

@@Ayrshore Joke aside you're not completely wrong there. Since Ryan Air mostly fly to smaller airports with shorter rwys they aim for firm landings with no extended floating. So the marginal between a firm and a hard landing is smaller.

[@samodgers848]

I was a passenger on a flight that had an especially hard landing back in the '80s. The crew was standing outside the cockpit, thanking the passengers as we were deplaning. The older lady in front of me asked the pilot, "Did we land, or were we shot down?" I couldn't look him in the eye as I shook his hand, because I was about to crack up.

[@TheBierp]

Looking down on an F18 is surreal. Years ago the Blue Angels performed over Elliot Bay in Seattle, rather than over Lake Washington as they normally did. This was only done one year, but during their VIP rides, they buzzed through the downtown area below the level of the tops of some of the skyscrapers. From the top of the Westin building we got to both look down at a jet, then later, as one flew south and we all turned to watch it, the 2nd came from behind us, starting below the top of the building and clearing it by...20 feet? It caught everyone off guard and the sound blew you away, but it also absolutely felt like you could reach up and touch it. Pretty sure these were the reasons they moved it back over Lake Washington the next year. The downtown area was not ready for that kind of excitement on a Thursday afternoon. 🤣 Amazing planes and the Angels are amazing pilots.

[@MatthewPettyST1300]

In KZbin, type in Mach Loop. It is in Wales and there might be up to maybe 4 F15s line up to shoot down a much longer canyon flying lower than the cameraman. Lots of other aircraft are doing the training too . From the C-130 down to Alpha Jets of all the NATO countries.

I would imagine that it is something that goes on an airline pilots record (percentage of go-arounds and reasons for such, since it will mean extra fuel is burnt) and is a factor in deciding promotion/ seniority. Any comment from someone 'in the industry'?

[@rtbrtb_dutchy4183]

@@alfnoakes392 no, no records and no factors at all for promotion. If you were to do that, then pilots would be reluctant to do a go around, which is dangerous. The biggest example is Asiana Airlines crash of their B777 in San Fransisco. Due to culture, a go around was considered a bad thing in the company. So instead of going around, they crashed.

That go-around by BA was textbook. It's what we used to call a TOGA-10. 10 degrees pitch in order to avoid a tailstrike and once you're clear of the runway, you revert to the "normal" go-around procedure. It was in no way "late". Also plane-spotters commenting on what the pilot is supposed to do is utterly infuriating. Learn to fly an airbus yourself, then we'll talk. Same goes for a lot of people in aviation related comment sections! Best regards, a 320 driver.

@@EinfachLuap balked landing isn’t new. It’s been around longer than I’ve been flying and I started in 1992. But a balked landing doesn’t mean 10° pitch to avoid tail strike. Now, to be fair, I have zero A320 experience. So maybe it’s an A320 thing. However, I’m typed on the A340, which is prone to tail strikes, yet we weren’t trained to 10°.

@@rtbrtb_dutchy4183 I haven't claimed it's new, just that we call it that now. Gone through the rating 1 year ago, so I guess I'm still fresh and just checked the docs, it's 10° for us. Maybe a company thing, who knows.

But all that pales into insignificance because the only thing that really matters is what the wind does (shear/gusts) in the last 30 feet before touchdown! 🥴
