Hard Avro landing video?
 

Ok, someone posted a video of a super hard landing in an Avro (I think it was in a thread talking about landings). For the life of me, I can't find that thread (been searching for 2 days) or the video... anyone remember what I'm talking about?

your google-fu is weak, grasshopper.

30 seconds of my time produced: http://youtube.com/watch?v=UG8HfLsZqs0

Thanks.... I guess I shouldn't use the built in forum search, rather the google search in the upper left? Appreciate your 30 seconds of work! :)

no problem! Actually, I just went to youtube and typed in a couple of relevant search terms like: Avro and LCY, and voila!

Google-fu just has a better ring to it than 'youtube-fu'.

Ahh... see I didn't know what airport or airline it was.

Well, he got his currency knocked out!

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

Hardest Landing Ever
 

This cannot possibly be real.

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.

Good Grief, that brings back memories!

I am pretty sure I had a landing in BHM that would have looked very similar to that. The Avro had/has VERY stout trailing link mains. The nose not so much, by the looks of it she might have had some damage from the pounding the nose gear took.

Outstanding video.

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!!!


That video does remind me of some of your landings!!!

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.

No way...that wasn't bad x-wind technique, it was ZERO x-wind technique...:D

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...

I don't know, looks like he had a crab in all the way to the bottom.

He didn't float, was close to being on centerline, and landed in the touchdown zone, ALL THREE TIMES. Whats so bad about it?

It was actually a different Avro that was carted off on a barge...that one was in the star alliance scheme and this one was in the standard swiss scheme...

A hard landing nonetheless...

I'm sure the 5 degree glideslope doesn't help...

I've been to LCY and that landing is real!

it would be interesting to hear the translation.

Was that one of those BAE jets?

Yup BAE---Bring Another Engine

Great plane

Why does it have 4 engines?

Because they couldn't fit 6.

In the second one, it looks like he had wayyyy too much speed, and thusly landed flat, bounced, and ballooned over and over again. Any ideas on what happened in the first?

I thought I heard it was designed for the Queen of England to fly across the english channel. They wanted 4 engines so it was more redundant. Not sure though, thats just what I heard.

It could be my screen's resolution - does anyone else see the tail strike if you pause the playback at impact?
