THIS IS HOW YOU BREAK TO LAND! RAF FIGHTER PILOT INVERTED WITH BURNERS RUN & BREAK • RAF CONINGSBY

[@TedConingsby]

BREAK or BRAKE? Ladies, gents and teddy bears; for those that DO NOT KNOW aviation terms, when an aircraft is in formation or on initial (approaching the runway on the first stage of approach) this turning away is called a BREAK. When an aircraft is in formation of 2, 3 or more (Red Arrows) and they peel away, this is BREAKING (The aircraft breaks away from formation) In this video Turbo is on initial (and inverted) and the when he turns, this ‘turn’ is called a BREAK or even more accurate a “Run and BREAK”. In aviation, a run and break is a procedure used by aircraft to join an airfield traffic pattern without requiring the aircraft to spend a long time flying at low speed. Pilots, once on the BREAK will call to tower and you will hear “TURBO1, break, land”. Or you could hear another version “TURBO1, break into downwind”. At Lakenheath, those that see the aircraft enter the runway from “POINT CHARLIE” will enter and BREAK into DOWNWIND. Break in aviation is to break away or turning into the circuit. A BRAKE is on the landing gear, used when the aircraft touches down and the pilot will use the BRAKES. There is also aerodynamic braking too. And also a little bonus for you; when an aircraft has lined up and awaiting clearance for take off, the pilot is using the BRAKES. Pilots let’s go on clearance.

Wishing Flt Lt Turnbull all the best in his future endeavours, and will miss his excellent displays with the Typhoon Display Team. Can't wait to see whats coming, and hope it half as fun and exciting as watching that inverted break!

[@NewRailBasher]

Ooohhhh yyyeeahhh

[@TedConingsby]

Absolutely well said oooooohhhhh yeah

[@chembleton]

I've watched many videos of Typhoons and tbh I don't think until now seen one where they deploy the air brake.

[@wesdowner5636]

Break or brake? I don't exactly know the meaning of this, but it looks pretty cool!

[@TedConingsby]

Break is when you “break” away from formation or from initial. Brake is when you use the brakes on the gear to slow you down or stop on the runway

[@KennethRrvik]

Oooohhh myyyyyy....

[@iainriley8819]

Go go Turbo 🫡🫡♥♥

[@TedConingsby]

Ooohhhh yeah

[@AbdullahNajib-b9z]

just noticed how large this jets tail is. i wonder if moggy will do 2025.probably not

[@AnnCox-kp3pc]

It is always a pleasure to watch Flt Lt Turnbull do his stuff. Wishing you all the best in your next role with the RAF Flt Lt Turnbull 2025 displays won't be the same without you. 🫡

[@davidlangley1725]

Wish we had proper aircraft carriers to fly the birds off. With their thrust to weight ratio they would have potent against adversaries.

[@g-man2228]

Goddamit Mavrick….🤣👊🏻🇺🇸

[@TedConingsby]

😂😅

[@robertcolliver1985]

Wow excellent job there can I ask u a question why did turbo go down the runway for a long time before putting the nose wheel down ?

[@mcxravin]

@@robertcolliver1985 he was just showing off his skills

[@AbdullahNajib-b9z]

aerobraking

[@Subaris]

Aerobraking saves using the actual brakes, which can get worn and hot.

[@TedConingsby]

Oii Oii Robert thank you very much and a good question too. This is called ‘aerodynamic braking’ and it is a very common type of braking when landing. It’s of course like a wheelie but the purpose of it is to take the strain off the brakes. With the aircraft having the nose up like this exposes the whole undercarriage, which creates drag and slows the aircraft down, without using the brakes. It’s like opening up your jacket in high winds and making a parachute in some ways.

[@robertcolliver1985]

Thanks ted for the reply it makes sense now

[@gerry2762]

I was stationed at Coningsby with B6 Canberra Bombers. Ever heard of LABS Bombing ? . No? Ask and I will explain. Very, very, Cold War 🆒🇬🇧

[@TedConingsby]

Thank you for serving. low-altitude bombing system (LABS) in a Canberra, now that’s something to see.

[@gerry2762]

@ What still haunts. We lost an aircraft and crew during LABS training in Libya ( RAF Idris) and kept a loaded aircraft on runway, with 24hr crew, when back in UK. Chilling times, which were generally ignored in public attention.
