Posted: Sun Sep 03, 2006 9:04 pmSeen that before. That can't be good for the main landing gear.

Posted: Mon Sep 04, 2006 9:07 pmThat video reassures me that air travel is safe.
Then there are the videos where the aircraft turns into a fireball.
You have no idea how much I got pissed off when the morons at CNN said the A380 landing was bad. Or when someone lands at Kai Tak off-center people say it's a bad landing. Keep your mouth shut unless you can do better.

You still cant accept that the Alitalia MD11 was a bad landing can you? ;D
Geez...you need to let it go man. And the A380 landing at LHR wasn't really a school book example. I'm pretty sure the pilots heard that one way or another. ;)

Posted: Tue Sep 05, 2006 12:00 pmA "bad" landing in my book is one where once the plane hits the ground the wings fall off ;D I never said those were bad landing in the video... I just said if I were a normal every day person without a hint of flying knowledge I'd freak out if a plane did that at the airport ;)

Posted: Tue Sep 12, 2006 4:41 pmIMO, the only "bad" landing is one where you fail to land intact. Some may not look pretty and they might jar the pax a little, but at least you are on the ground again, and still alive.

Posted: Fri Sep 15, 2006 4:17 pmI remember posting this a while ago in the FS9 thread. Although it was the version w/o the Spanish subtitles and much more appropriate music IMO! :P

Posted: Fri Sep 15, 2006 7:08 pmOK and I suppose you are going to tell me that this landing was intended to test the tyre pressures!
Re: Nasty x-wind landings: big Boeing test flights
Posted: Sat Sep 16, 2006 3:11 amI'm only calling a spade a spade, and now you know the background to those videos.
Regarding the new ones you posted, the first one is an Alitalia MD11 at Kai TAk (again). And I've had a lenghty debate abotu that video. Yes the landing is a poor one.

Posted: Sat Sep 16, 2006 5:25 amOK, don't take my comments to heart! You seem to know a lot about these aviation clips. What then was the reason for the sudden direction change of that landing Jumbo? When I first saw it I thought it was a very cool extreme Xwind landing but having seen how the smoke from the tyres remains static after touchdown it clearly has nothing to do with Xwinds.
