Post by: Tarmac on February 26, 2004, 01:52:54 PM: Is there a story behind that? It looks to me like some sort of automated landing system that's constantly overcorrecting.

Post by: ra on February 26, 2004, 01:57:04 PM: The nose pitching up and down doesn't even seem natural. I wonder if this video was digitally modified.

Never hire a rook for a pilot again.

Hey, it only takes me two bounces to get it down!

Post by: fffreeze220 on February 26, 2004, 02:08:31 PM: I am pretty sure that plane was in the shop afterwards and if they are clever the crew isnt flying anymore. the only excuse could be suddenly crosswinds. If not the captain needs to be grounded. In germany Air germania fired a complety crew because of an overweight landing. The plane had to make a C-Check afterwards. LOL

Post by: Habu on February 26, 2004, 02:40:43 PM: It looks to me like they were coming in hot and the pilot wanted to put the plane down. Rather than holding the nose up and letting the airspeed bleed off he pushed the stick forward to get the plane down once the back wheels were down.

The front landing gear bounced up and the aoa of the wings created the lift to raise the nose up higher. The pilot pushed the stick forward and the oscilliation got worse.

You can do this in a small plane like a 172 if you push the stick forward instead of flareing. Some planes like the Cessna Cardinal are more prone to do it than others.

It was only the brakes and reverse thurst that slowed the jet down quick enough to stop the front gear from collapsing under the load.

I was talking to a 747 pilot on Saturday and he said they have the spoilers armed so that when the wheels touch down they deploy automatically, that and reverse thrust and eventually brakes can stop the jet in very shot time despite the weight.

Post by: MadBirdCZ on February 26, 2004, 04:38:44 PM: Yeah not like fake but more like a big RC model... The shock suspensors seem not to be reacting to the mass... etc.. but it is a hell of a view anyway...

Post by: Dinger on February 26, 2004, 06:30:02 PM: probably right suntracker. The plane has "HAWAII" painted on the side. there is no such carrier as far as I can tell. Any more info?

Post by: muckmaw on February 26, 2004, 06:34:08 PM: No way the nose gear would have held that kind of impact AND bounced the nose back up.

I'll ask some mechanics but that looks doctored to me.

The third bounce should have colapsed the nose gear.

I don't even think a B17 is that tough, hell on the third bounce it looked like the main gear almost left the ground :eek:

if so, I'd want a refund ;)

Post by: MadBirdCZ on February 27, 2004, 12:43:49 AM: OK found the background story. It is not a 'fake' per-se. It is a real footage of landing of a really large scale RC controlled model of a jetliner.

Cheers...

Post by: FUNKED1 on February 27, 2004, 01:53:00 AM: Here's a real one. IIRC it was a 60 mph (100 km/h) wind gust.
