Who is going to break the news to Delta?

Looks like a fairly hard landing for a model plane, Lucky it is not a real plane.

Microsoft have done a good job on their simulators. Hardly realistic though.

It was apparantly done for a TV advertisement. Not real, model or otherwise.

Was an ad for Heineken Beer prior to the world cup.:}
I have the full version of it floating around. Dont know how to attach stuff. PM and Ill email it to someone to post!

A340 landing
 

Has anyone seen the landing videos in You Tube ? There's a Virgin A340 cockpit video as it was doing an approach and landing on Sydney's 16R.

Search for "Landing at Sydney Airport "... you might need to let it buffer though and re-run the video again.

Very nice......

Good for a commercial, hardly realistic tho!

Oh to have Broadband and a few hours to kill!! but alas I have measely dial up and a 16th century artifact, also known as the Super star series KTX.....:confused:

I did manage to weasel some high speed once and Youtube.com has heaps of videos of all types of planes, commercial and otherwise. I'm amazed at the approaches to the airport right next to the beach, europe somewhere. I am promoting it, yes because it is a great way to waste time, but unfortunately no, I did'nt get a slice of the $2.5billion dollar pie...:{

Thoughts from the pilot:

Those stupid kids have messed with the landing gear handle again.

What went wrong?
 

Maybe he ate a bit too much cabbage or a few too many baked beans ?

Nothing. Thats how I always land.

"They won't be expecting me to do THIS in the display!"

mmmmm...I wonder what this handle does?

I've flown over 500 combat missions in my life and I've been shot down in every single one of em. Come to think of it, I've never landed a God damn plane in my life! And i ain't about to start now!

Yep, just saw it. Why does cockpit voice thingy call the pilot flying a 'retard' at the flare? Did he flare too late? ;)

No, telling the Captain to pull the throttle to flight idle(?) for the flare. French sense of humour I guess!

UTR.

What went wrong....
 

Great!!!!! keep em coming Guys N Gals.!!!!!!!!

another one might be:

(Thoughts from the pilot; "thank f:mad: i did not try this inverted" :} :}

That's actually Archangel7, the last time they allowed him in the jump seat.

If you look closely you can see his CPL, CIR, ASIC, Instructor Rating, Bible, desire to be an airline pilot......... :}

All funny, but high Bypass winning so far i reckon....

winners (in my opinion)
 

must agree with you there Oldmate:D :D :D :D

2nd i think would go to: pressed_on

3rd to:rmcdonal

but hang on High-Bypass i thought archangel7 never made it to the JUMP SEAT dont see how he ever made it to the EJECTOR SEAT....maby he had a nother friend in some underling job that said that with an asic, CPL, CIR, he could fly in any seat........:} :} :}

Looks to me like he did his check flight with BM :} :} :} :}

See if this link works.

:ok:

Sorry, this link does not seem to work. I will investigate.

He was trying to piss off the pilot by telling him he is a "Retard" .....justkidding - to set the throttle to Idle detent.

That's awesome .. do Boeings have such a system as well, or is only on the bus?
And so if you land heavily, does the cockpit voice thingy say "bloody idiot~!" ? LOL! ;)

No, the Boeings don't have it, it assumes you know when to idle the thrust levers and when to engage the thrust reversers.

In regards to aural warnings, you get a lot of it like "Terrain, Terrain, pull up" or warnings on "Glideslope" and the EGPWS where it gives you your radar altitude....ex... "four hundred - minimums, minimums". And if you land heavily, it says "Sh#t - you've done it again you retard !!! "
