Hey, give the guy/gal credit, for a dead stick, that was pretty darn good ;)
|
Now, had that been a c-172, it would've been a little more believable.:D
|
Too much airspeed and bad X-wind technique. The porpoise was the most dangerous part of that landing. About the 3rd touchdown he almost lost it and hit the right wing tip. something tells me he learned something about flying from that.

Ouch, anyone watch what the horizontal stab was doing during that! YIKES!!!

Wait, that's a bad landing? I guess that explains all those comments I keep getting at the gate...
If you like that kind of video, here's another: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lhUO4pdGCf8 |
I don't know. I think the MD80/ERJ lnadings where the tails broke off could give that a run for the money as far as the hardest ever.

I think the runway at London City is less than 5,000 feet long. It has a 5.5 degree glideslope and requires special certification, as I understand...and London is famous for being very gusty.
It's uncomfortable, but a hard landing dissipates a ton of energy (take that, runway!!!) and helps the aircraft bleed off the extra airspeed it may have carried for the gusts. I think they someone is getting ready to fly A318s to the US in/out of there. That would be a sporty landing after a trans-Atlantic flight in the winter. ...any landing you can walk away from... |

No way...that wasn't bad x-wind technique, it was ZERO x-wind technique...:D
He didn't float, was close to being on centerline, and landed in the touchdown zone, ALL THREE TIMES. Whats so bad about it? |

Haha wow! I think I have read about this landing though, a couple like that actually in London City involving the Avro's. Supposedly one was taken off on a barge to be repaired? Either way good advertising for the landing gear hah.
A hard landing nonetheless... I'm sure the 5 degree glideslope doesn't help... |
I've been to LCY and that landing is real!
