Hard landing?

[greenedgejet]

From 6:30 to 7:00 mins: Pax view but their response of "urggggh!" isn't the way to treat customers LoCo or not - wonder what the FDR recorded?

thats why you're not allowed to have your phone on..

[Ice Man]

Wow. A hard landing, how very, very interesting!

[TRY2FLY]

I'm sure we've all had one a those at one point or another ;-)

[rotornut]

Big deal. I was on an Indian Airlines 737 that bounced at Poona airport.

[Hotel Tango]

Riveting stuff :zzz: In my early flying days in DC-6s two or three bounces were almost the norm. Pax are a bunch of softies these days :hmm:

[GlueBall]

No bounce = non event. :ooh:

[nimsu1987]

Oh come on. There wasn't even a bounce! If the pilots made an effort to make a lovely light as a feather landing, you might have ended up sliding down emergency chutes on the grass past the threshold. A safe landing is not necessarily a soft one.

[merlinxx]

Firm placement, what's yer problem :ugh:

[Matari]

Why does this passenger believe he or she is exempt from the 'no electronic devices on while landing' rule?

[pigboat]

That wasn't a hard landing. After a hard landing all the ladies would have been wearing fur collars.

[RoyHudd]

Enjoyed the little girl chuckling during the roll-out. PF probably wasn't laughing, but that was NOT a hard landing.

[Dan Winterland]

One of their "part time pilots" perhaps?

[Herod]

Oh, come on!! Non-event.

[dazdaz1]

When the a/c stopped (end of clip) who had the dog that was barking? :ooh:

[Irish_Avro_Driver]

What a waste of 10 seconds of my life.

Daz - go to the spotters forum (where this video belongs) and do a search for the dog noise.

[JanetFlight]

Did i miss anything???:bored:

[Sunnyjohn]

I humbly suggest that you:
1 - Learn how to hold an iPhone 4
2 - Obey the instruction from the crew with regard to turning off electronic devices on landing
3 - Get a life

[con-pilot]

3 - Get a life

Most apt and best statement on this thread. :ok:

[Beavis and Butthead]

Daily Mail territory this. Hard landing my :mad: Firm maybe but there are those that have and those that lie that they haven't. If it was 3.6g he would've at least dropped his recording/pressmoneymaking device.

A pointless and desperate for real news article.

Pax view but their response of "urggggh!" isn't the way to treat customers LoCo or not

Implying that a hard landing is only in the domain of the LoCos.

What utter utter ignorance of aviation we can see here.

Perfectly good landing in the right place at the right speed. Nobody has any business criticising it at all. :ugh:

[nimsu1987]

"The hardest i've ever seen (not one of mine!) was a 1.56, and that felt like a controlled crash. So go figure what a 3.6 would look like."

This is true. I have felt a couple of g-s (if that) in tight turns. I'm a pretty short guy but still felt like my face was being pulled off.

[MCDU2]

The poster might benefit from a quick google search on two terms. The first one is a "firm landing" and the other is a "hard landing".

The former being a regular occurrence, particularly so on mucky days where we are aiming for a positive contact with terra firma to ensure the desired braking action is achieved on a wet track.

The latter involves an engineering inspection and possible rectification work to the aircraft, report writing and the possibility of tea and biscuits with someone in Flight Ops management followed by retraining (if your lucky) or cessation of employment.

[Doors to Automatic]

I would, just out of interest, like to see a 3.6g landing filmed from a similar place in order to compare and contrast :p

[angels]

Here we go. Another chance to use this fine clip!

This is a hard landing.

Don't what G it pulled, but they were sweeping out tooth fillings for weeks. The frame was a write off.

BAe-146 swiss air HARD landing - YouTube

[DaveReidUK]

The frame was a write off.

Happily, it wasn't, in fact it was back in service the following day and is still flying.

[Doors to Automatic]

Just as well that 146 wasn't an MD-11 or there would be a pile of charred inverted, mangled aluminium by the side of the LCY runway! :ok:

Air Accidents Investigation: Airbus A319-111, G-EZFV (http://www.aaib.gov.uk/publications/bulletins/january_2013/airbus_a319_111__g_ezfv.cfm?goback=.gde_1080877_member_20741 1207)


Flight Global article goes on about side sticks and priority/control logic issues on Airbus again but nothing about shouting "I have control!" early on when taking over for a go-around? Not just relying on a push button and an illuminated arrow?

To PNF's credit he did use those words eventually but 4 secs of battling with side sticks beforehand at 30 feet not ideal !

"Below 30 ft, over the runway, both pilots sensed that
the aircraft was sinking rapidly and both initiated a
TOGA 102 go-around. The PF momentarily retarded
the thrust levers to idle before advancing them to the
TOGA (Takeoff and Go-around) position. At the same
time, he made a full forward sidestick input, within
one second, which was then rapidly reversed to full
aft sidestick. As the PF made the forward sidestick
input, the commander initiated an aft sidestick input
which reached the full aft position within one second.
He followed through the PF, pushing the thrust levers
fully forward and announced “I HAVE CONTROL”. The
aircraft made firm contact with the runway, on all three
landing gear legs simultaneously, before lifting off and
starting to climb. During this phase the PF relinquished
control and reverted to the PNF role."
