The A330 "butter" machine legend continues...even with a winglet missing, in bad wind conditions, Geodis still managed a fairly smooth landing. On the Vietnam 787, I assume Cat III, minimums at 20, they would have touched down even on a go-around. I am not sure why they would not have just opted for the full Autoland in those conditions.

@44R0Ndin 3 ай бұрын

"Not sure why they would not have opted for the full autoland in those conditions" Maybe they just wanted to hand fly it? If you SHOULD be able to hand fly the aircraft, part of being a good pilot and not becoming complacent is to constantly test your skills to make sure you can still do what you need to do, should the need arise. Flight in IMC to minimums is a good way to stay proficient both at flying the specific type of aircraft you are piloting and proficient at flight in IMC in general. However, there are more reasons to want to hand fly it even in these challenging conditions: Many pilots simply like tackling tasks that challenge their skills and knowledge. There's a good reason so many former fighter jet pilots become commercial pilots. They like flying, because flying is never easy, not even on autopilot.

@kevindigo22 3 ай бұрын

@@michaelkarnerfors9545 Agree, hard to tell about the hands on the yoke. I assumed it was not a Cat III-c full Autoland because they had a minimums callout at 20, the pilot called out "landing", and I don't think you would normally do this on full Autoland, but I could be wrong. There is a very specific procedure to be followed for Autoland, where the FO is PF down to the threshold, the captain has his hands on the throttles in case of a last second GA, and then the captain takes control of the plane as soon as they touch down, or something like that. It didn't appear they were following that procedure. It is more likely they were flying ILS Cat III-b which can have minimums down to 20. We don't know what their RVR was, but it was probably high enough where the captain decided they don't need the full Autoland.

@michaelkarnerfors9545 3 ай бұрын

@@kevindigo22Eh, we are not actually seeing the Captain's arm before touchdown. We do see the First Officer, holding his hands off, but we see almost nothing of the Captain until the wheels touch down. At 00:48-00:49, I see, when stepping frame by frame, something that I think in all likelyhood is his knuckles, on the throttle. And when we do see his right arm after touchdown, his hand is - indeed - on the throttle. Watch again, are you sure they are deviating from procedure? EDIT: Oh, never mind, just go to the source video, the captain is holding his hands on the throttle the whole time, for well over half a minute before minimums, letting go occasionally only for affirmative getures, but the hand instantly goes back to the throttle.

Man that finnair pilot did a good job. It sounds and looks like the conditions were too tough to land at that airport, so maybe they should've considered another airport for everyone's safety, but glad they got the job done. Just the way that plane was swinging side to side I'm sure the winds were tough.

@RoyalMela 3 ай бұрын

It was a strong wind but it was not side wind. Almost direct head wind. Gusts of wind just made planes float more and that happened to Finnair during first try. Since the winds were high, ground speeds were quite low and that allowed some floating to happen and still have enough runway left.

Most guys I know, even the ones qualified, still have either never done it in real life or only done it a few times. Having said that, I’m sure there are pilots who have done tons in their career, probably more based on the type of weather they regularly fly into.

To be honest, the cargo aircraft with the missing winglet isn't such a huge deal as you might think. The only effect that the winglets have on the aircraft is to weaken the primary vortex coming off of the wingtip, aka it reduces wake turbulence. The energy for the wake turbulence has to come from somewhere, and it comes from the kinetic energy of the aircraft, so the winglets also increase aerodynamic efficiency, which saves operators money by reducing fuel burn. However, you can offset the increased fuel burn of one or more missing winglets by loading more fuel, taking cargo and/or passengers out, or a combination of those two things. So it doesn't surprise me to learn that the winglets aren't part of the MEL, or Minimum Equipment List, the things the aircraft MUST HAVE FUNCTIONAL in order to fly with passengers or cargo. If they're on the MEL, then this was a specially approved ferry flight to get it to a repair center, in which case it would have been carrying more than the usual amount of fuel, and no cargo or passengers. There is more that I can deduce from just the information provided by seeing the aircraft landing with only one winglet: The most obvious is that before this aircraft departed, it suffered winglet damage, likely on the ramp due to striking an airport vehicle or another aircraft (hopefully the former). Additionally: I can tell that they chose to not send a replacement winglet to the repair services that may or may not be available at whichever airport this aircraft was damaged at. So instead of moving the winglet, they moved the entire aircraft, after all technically the aircraft still flies. There must be some form of repair service available where it was damaged, because what was left of the winglet looks to have been intentionally removed. This is a good idea, it prevents weakened parts of the remaining winglet from detaching in fight or during taxi and/or departure/landing. If that happened while the aircraft was still at or over an airport, that would create a FOD hazard. The aircraft's performance with only one winglet is also something they likely tested when designing the aircraft, so fully removing it brings the aircraft's performance back to a fully known state. This airport it's landing at is probably a repair hub for that company, there would be no other reason for this aircraft to be landing at it with only one winglet. Finally, if the winglet(s) are NOT on the MEL (meaning you can fly passengers/cargo with one missing), they would have exchanged this aircraft's cargo with items destined for this particular airport, if there were any such items at the location it took off from. Otherwise, the cargo would have been transferred to another aircraft and it would have flown with no cargo to this airport it is landing at. That's simply part of how these air freight companies maximize profit from these cargo aircraft, they do their best to ensure that no aircraft ever takes off with no cargo in it, otherwise you're paying for the aircraft to fly with nothing inside it that's making them money, which is extremely costly even if they're only paying for fuel burn. Speaking of fuel burn, they almost certainly loaded more fuel on to this aircraft, even if they didn't have to take any cargo off of it. This is simply to compensate for the increased fuel burn caused by the missing winglet.

That is a long post

@rtbrtb_dutchy4183 3 ай бұрын

That’s not how an MEL works at all. You have it totally backwards. Anything that’s not on the MEL cannot be inop or damaged or missing. So when you say that if the winglet is not on the MEL, it’s allowed to be missing is incorrect. An MEL list will cover items that can be inoperative, broken or missing. For instance, if you have 3 radios and radios are not on the MEL, all 3 has to be working or you can’t go anywhere. But radios will be in the MEL and it will indicate with how many radios the airplane can still dispatch. (2 out of 3 for example). With winglets they are on the MEL. It will indicate how many are allowed to be missing for dispatch. Most airplanes can have them both missing so it will say: 2 installed, 0 required for dispatch. It will also tell the repair requirements. Usually an amount of flight days. Probably 10 days, but that’s a guess. That this airplane is likely landing somewhere to be repaired as you said, is absolutely not a requirement. The airplane can probably fly for days on revenue flights without the need for an immediate repair. The MEL will give instructions as to extra fuel burn to be expected etc.

A category III B approach is a precision approach and landing with no decision height or a decision height lower than 50ft (15m) and a runway visual range less than 700ft (200m), but not less than 150ft (50m). So yes, 20 feet could be the DH.
