Very smooth landing considering the adverse weather conditions! Great skill - excellent pilots!!

[@PilotsTubeHD]

thanks! great to hear that :)

[@stormaurora5536]

Wow! Great to see it from the pilot's point of view, hard work and skill 😀 Thanks for sharing 😀

[@brianshields5294]

Beautiful landing. Despite the heavy crosswind, kept a stabilized approach all the way down, not to mention that he hand flew that bad boy from around 2000 feet!

[@mexVid]

Lob vom Käptn ".. Sehr schön geflogen!" :) Thanks for this great moment of landing procedure to EDDF

[@deetjay1]

Wicked! MD-11 is such a rare sight these days...Nice...

[@TheDoug2103]

i wish more passengers knew the amount of input from the pilots these landings take. the right seat yoke was insane, very good job.

[@callmebrine_1462]

bro,it was a cargo plane....

Im so glad to see an airline pilot using ailerons into the wind during landing roll. Great job!!

[@johnschmidt8440]

You are absolutely right. This guy did a great job.

[@hcrun]

Great landing, great video! Thanks for posting.

[@misahorna]

Fantastic action! Great video> Great plane! Thank You!

[@golfhound]

A most beautiful/great landing under extremely difficult circumstances - turbulence, low visibility, icy conditions slippery runway, a very large heavy plane, crosswinds. These pilots were awesome.

[@RVNspotting]

Awesome footage, thanks for sharing!

[@PilotsTubeHD]

+RVNspotting thank you very much :)

[@hamlettelmah441]

Never even crossed my mind that the wipers would be so out of whack and annoying, i wonder how it is on other planes because just in those 4 minutes they annoyed the ish out of me. Smooth flying and landing in those conditions. Great job.

[@JelmersAviation]

Really awesome video mate! Beautiful cockpit view!

[@PilotsTubeHD]

+jelmerpilotHD thank you so much! :))

[@rustyalcorta3643]

Loved it, the wipers were funny. I would have been filming from my window.

[@williamluebs7538]

Finally a pilot that keeps the aileron into the wind throughout the entire landing roll. Basic 101.. I've seen many airline crews that don't..shame.

[@chrisstromberg6527]

For smaller GA aircraft landing in a crosswind there is a chance that wind on the upwind side could lift a wing causing a loss of control or in extreme conditions lifting a wing tip enough to strike the ground. In larger transport category aircraft crews are advised to use only enough wheel inputs so as to maintain wings level. Large control wheel inputs can have an adverse effect on directional control near VMCG due to the additional drag of the extended spoilers. (With an engine failure, directional control could be made more difficult with full aileron inputs at critical airspeeds during the takeoff) During landing crews should only use what is required to keep wings level, often times its not much, since the spoilers will usually destroy any lift upon touchdown.

[@williamluebs7538]

+Chris Stromberg Bottom line, use aileron into the wind so you touchdown with the longitudinal axis parallel to the runway. I flew B777, B767, B757, etc for a major airline for 33 years. I taught all those airplanes in the sim also for 22 years. We would inject slippery runways with stiff crosswinds. To keep the planes from going off the side of the runway, you use the same technique as GA. Also flew and taught GA in college before flying for the Navy. I usually saw that a GA pilot would do a better job in crosswinds on a slippery than their counterpart from the military. In GA, you HAD to fly in crosswinds everyday. The winds much more affected the little guys and I found their technique was often better than the military jocks. They were just dealing with winds on landing 100% of the time. In the Navy, the skipper just turned the boat into the wind. Less crosswind as a result. I understand VMCG, etc and the aero of the crosswinds. I have a BS and MS in Aero Engineering.

[@chrisstromberg6527]

Excellent points William. As a CFII/MEI and current Boeing operator I can attest to what you are saying about GA pilots.

[@williamluebs7538]

+Chris Stromberg Between you and me... I usually found the GA pilot better in crosswinds than the military guy when I was teaching in the 777.. They just had more real plane flying. The military guys had advantages over the GA guys in many other areas, but for just basic crosswind landings on slippery runways, it was much easier for the GA guy to consistently do well. I hope my Navy buddies can't find me. Good luck to you. Bill.

[@bigfoot9013]

Yeah I noticed that too. Not only that but he gradually took it out as the plane slowed , like your suppose to do.

[@simonklaassen2145]

I tought the md11 was compleet retired until I saw this vid. I freaking love this plane

[@simonklaassen2145]

Joshua Davidson cheers!

[@elainefrantz9139]

Any landing you walk away from is a good landing.

[@foxtrot789]

No, it's not.

[@mrbordmechaniker]

Elaine Frantz an when you can use the plane again afterwards its a perfect landing :D

[@billgates.got.ripped6965]

incredible skill - well done!

[@tomtalker2000]

Not an easy job folks NOT an easy job...!!! They deserve FAR FAR more credit then there given. And that goes for the flight attendants as well not just the pilots. After all they have our LIVES in there hands...(g)

[@777pusher]

Tom, it is 85-95% easy and you know it. Like many jobs, you obey technology. Severe weather is troublesome, yes, but pilots are generally trained well enough on Sims that one or two real-time attempts make you proficient enough. Yes, lives at stake, so thanks to pilots doing their jobs, and thanks to my Uber drivers for doing theirs too!

[@relikpL]

I love the warnings sounds

Look at the pilot and Co-pilot input, flying by the seat of your pants, well done.

[@Glideslopes]

Well done. Outstanding CRM.

[@guguigugu]

i cant watch this video because the wipers arent synchronized

[@Martin19661]

Moron!

[@MrTiti]

it means that the video isnt synchronous and therefore you dunno whats really happening. moron.

[@PilotsTubeHD]

they are 99,9% synchronized. the one in the small pic is just "shorter", so it looks faster.

[@MrTiti]

***** what you mean? if it is shorter ...

[@PilotsTubeHD]

it appears to be faster, because in the smaller screen, the wipers are smaller. they move at same speed, but it looks faster. Like the A380 on final looks slower than the 737 at same speed :P

[@superally4113]

Great video man!

[@sergeyrambo5166]

Perfect landing

[@husamdhaffar8542]

Good controling by the pilots ! (Nice video)

[@jsgermany3955]

Das ist schon sehr interessant, wie da bei der MD 11 im Landeanflug noch gearbeitet werden muss... Sie ist schon sehr speziell, aber mir gefällt sie einfach. Ich hoffe doch sehr, dass man diese Maschinen, trotz Ausflottung, noch ein paar Jahre am Himmel und auf dem Boden sehen kann. Unter wirtschaftlichen Aspekten betrachtet, hat sich die LCAG, glaube ich, mit der B 777F für die wohl beste und effizienteste Frachtmaschine, die es derzeit auf dem Markt gibt, als Nachfolger der MD 11 entschieden. Und mal ganz ehrlich: Schön ist dieser große Vogel ja auch... Vielen Dank jedenfalls an PilotsTubeHD für dieses großartige und spannende Video! Wirklich toll!

[@Vistamister]

Die kommenden Versionen der B777 sind wirklich anspruchsvoll und state-of -the-Art . Ich frage mich, ob die neuen vorhandenen Fahrgast 777 ersetzen wird , und wenn die vorhandenen Fahrgast 777 wird Frachtflugzeuge werden . Liebte die DC-10 trotz einiger schrecklich stürzt ab.

[@Vistamister]

I loved riding in DC-10's as a passenger and enjoyed the pilots skill and hands in this video. As an amateur aviation enthusiast, I wonder how pilots who've flown both aircraft types compared the handling of the planes after the DC-10 cockpits were converted to MD-11 instrumentation, as I assume this plane was.

[@Norkeys]

The DC-10's with upgraded avionics (instruments) are called MD-10's.

[@MauritsVeen]

Vistamister this plane was the md-11, not a md-10

Rookies! I could've aced it. No problem. In a storm with no runway lights. Heavy bird strike also with 500 gallons of spilled oil on the runway!! With one hand tied behind my back all while some kid in the back screaming crying. 🤣👍 Just kidding, but I am a skilled pilot.

[@linesided]

Ah that MD is a tank. Love to have a go at landing that, but with slightly more wind and a bit more slush on the ground :)

[@SixTenVisuals]

This is a great video for non-pilots that want to see how a jumbo jet really handles. If you watch the F/O's roll inputs on the yoke and then look out the window you can see the slight delayed response of the aircraft.

VERY NICE.....

[@raboesperto]

THOSE WIPERS ARE DISTRACTING ME !

[@williamluebs7538]

Aero 101... It keeps the longitudinal axis of any plane right down the center. Right at touchdown, when the speeds are high, you will prevent the nose crabbing into the wind. On a dry runway, it feels like a crummy landing. On a wet, slippery or icy runway, keeping the longitudinal axis parallel with the runway prevents loss of control and departing the runway.

[@nicklang3861]

Super.

[@Br4m76]

I'm currious about an airplane windshield. When you are sitting on any side of the cockpit you could see the runway centerline always on your center sight. Is there a specialized glass on airplane windshield?

[@margaretroselle8610]

Pilots.......very well done!

[@simons7705]

looked like a good landing to me in all that bad weather

[@ericlozen9631]

Wow! Now for my question; is it possible for the aircraft to "Auto Land" in these conditions while making a CAT III approach? I do know that visibility probably wouldn't be that low due to the wind conditions. Just Curious... 😎

[@andreashoppe1969]

How the hell are you pilots able to determin the descent? So that the plane will touch down exactly where it should? I will probably never understand that. To you it must be a piece of cake I guess as well as a result of hard and frequent training, but I am not a pilot so I always adore what you're doing!

[@TheBadameco]

+Andreas Hoppe ILS gives them the perfect descent path, although not every airport has ILS.

[@andreashoppe1969]

Even with a smaller Aircraft like lets say a Cessna 182? I really don't know anything about aviation unfortunately. But I am a very good musician, but I really enjoy spotting aircraft and flying as a passenger.

[@gerardmoran9560]

You keep playing the tunes, I'll keep landing the jets. That's what makes the world go 'round!

[@andreashoppe1969]

true haha.

[@WackyBroProductions]

You pick a spot on the runway and aim for it. If you've ever seen colored lights off to the side of the runway they provide the pilot with feedback so he knows if he is too high or too low on the glide path.

[@EddrblxPlayz]

10/10

[@wotan10950]

Fantastic! Der Ruf ist , dass dieses Flugzeug bei der Landung schwer zu landen?

[@PilotsTubeHD]

Schwerer als andere Flugzeuge bestimmt. Alles eine Frage des Trainings :)

[@jsgermany3955]

Ich glaube, die MD 11 muss von den Piloten mit einer höheren Geschwindigkeit gelandet werden. Zudem hat sie an den Tragflächen kleinere Steuerflächen, wodurch das Flugzeug schwerer zu kontrollieren ist, als andere Maschinen. Diese Maschine erfordert also die ganze Aufmerksamkeit und das Können der Piloten. Mit anderen Worten: Die MD 11 ist der Porsche unter den Flugzeugen!

[@dermdeworm6812]
