Is this real?
Hi
Please dont flame me if you have seen this clip before but it is hard to search for something like this already appearing on the forum!
I got sent this in my email this morning:
http://www.aviationjobsearch.com/video01.asp
As a PPL I had a couple of landings like this whilst training but was wondering if this footage could be real? The reason I ask is just that the nose seems to bounce really quickly.
What do you think?

IIRC it was a Heineken advert. The plane was "supposedly" carrying the Austrian football team for a game against Holland.
At the end, the Dutch Captain wished the Austrian team good luck for the game.
It was shown before a Holland vs Austria World Cup qualifier I believe.
Correcty me if I'm wrong though

Top marks to GrahamK.
Cannot grant that wish (well, I could but prefer to leave you all a BIT of work
), Colmac, but this from 'parapunter' in August:
"One thinks you'll find it was an ad for Heineken, using an rc cleverly done up with cgi. Sorry!"
To help, try
this JB thread where our friend Jerricho tells you about it - or this one and 'hunt the link'

Not quite sure what you mean "Am I right in thinking that it could happen though" -
Firstly, nosewheels get thumped down for a variety of reasons. Mishandling of pitch after touchdown, windshear, heavy landing and probably a few more. AFAIR Iberia broke an AB n/w at Bilbao on a training flight. Air Europe broke one in Funchal - 2 for starters.
Now, the 'bounce' - there is a procedure to stop a PIO like that. The frequency of the bounce was too rapid for a real a/c. Smoke from the n/w is occasionally seen on the first touch of the n/w but unless n/w brakes are fitted, not afterwards unless the wheel is going sideways!
The approach 'rock' was also too rapid in oscillation, although there is a real video of a TAP AB into LIsbon which moves around a bit more than usual
The PA - yes, that was normal.

I just meant that I thought the bounce could happen but I too thought the frequency was to high for it to be real (as mentioned in first post).
Cheers
PS what is The PA (or am I being thick?
)

The full commercial can be found here:

Takes a little while to download but it show a lot more than the clip in the original post.
