A380 Landing Short on Pax Video?
Some outfit called the Air Safety Group has posted a video of a 'nameless' airline's A380 supposedly landing short of the threshold. This looks like a seat back screen, after the touchdown a pop-up message asks 'How did we do?'
The video is being retweeted on aviation sites like @CivMilAir and will probably make its way into the news cycle on a slow weekend.
One of the comments on the original post suggests that the touchdown is normal while the video is several seconds behind which seems plausible. I'd find it hard to believe that an A380 could land short without someone else noticing.

This video has been sent to the ASG it shows a serious incident of an ****** A380 landing short Would anyone with any information about this landing please send it to

Personally, watching these video feeds as a pax on many flights, it looks normal to me. Maybe some IFE systems have more delay than others, but they are all delayed. Takes time to encode the video from the source and stream it to the IFE.

If they indeed touched down short they would have collected the last part of the approach lights which would have caused substantial damage to both the plane and the lights (!). Something doesn't add up.
Methinks that the somewhat pompously self-described "Air Safety Group UK" hasn't done their credibility any good by posting this nonsense.
Has anybody ever heard of this "voluntary effort to improve safety for the travelling public since 1964" ?

Check the vasi “all white”...
Yes much different perspective from the flight deck but a good cue to suggest nothing was amiss. I have had 8 sectors as a passenger on the A-380-800 and all landings have been firm........
But then again who am I to judge....

Replying to @ASG_EGTT @AviationSafety @avheraldIt’s not a serious incident. The camera video is delayed on all A380’s so the sound of touchdown is ‘live’ and the video on screen comes through after a few seconds.

So that explains why all tail cams not the 380 I have flown in the last month have been switched off on a large 380 inventory holder. On the first flight I thought might not be working but on the subsequent three flights they were also off....
