He probably couldn't do that intentionally, though.

Very true! 😂

If you look at his rudder, it appears like he's pushing the wrong way upon touch down.

He's taking out the lights while taxiing sideways... imagine what would be happening if he was going straight! A trench in the grass, I'm guessing.

I reckon it’s the FO in control and the Captain is looking out his window going “Got it!…Got it!…Got another one, let’s go for the record!”

Thank you 🙏🏼✈️

What are the costs of lights v keeping a B-52 in the air for an hour?

@@ozbolli B-52 burns 3,300 gallons of fuel per hour. At the cost of jet fuel, those light cost about 4-5 minutes of flight time.

​@@rollingthunder27710 tons of fuel per minute? Are you sure? I assume you meant per hour?

@@rollingthunder277 think you might be wrong there.

I just looked it up, the B52 cost $88,300 an hour to operate. It's not just the fuel and the crew, for every hour in the air, there are hours and hours of maintenance. For the lights I think they are probably $300 ea. but lets go crazy and say the lights are $1000 each and they take an hour each to replace at $100 an hour in labor for two guys. Call it ten lights, that's $11,000.

Not to speak of the street lanterns I'm sure

Hilarious haha

The perfect KZfaq comment doesn’t exisss….

LOL 😂 🤭

My teenage daughter was sunbathing in the front yard and man, B-52's up and down the street like there was a convention. It's embarrassing to say the least, I wish the SAC would tell them about what constitutes appropriate behaviour.

You right

. . good answer ! . .

Honestly, the engineers responsible for the A380's landing gear are unsung hero's. If you search on YT for A380 crosswind landings you will see lots of videos where the A380's gear is brutally punished by hard landings and yet never fail. Amazingly strong and durable.

It’s a well executed baulked landing in difficult conditions

You can see they turn the rudder to nose to the left just before landing

I still haven't seen anything with that landing that "went wrong". Wind and weather is never constant. The pilots responded appropriately to wind changes.

Seems to me some of these ATPs need to get their tailwheel endorsement.

BINGO. Lots of them do. ATP here sick and tired of watching jets slam into the runway sideways. @@scarybaldguy

For some reason this reminded me of one summer in the late 70s when my friend and I went on an indoor archery course - aged about 10. The instructor thought we were rubbish as we kept shooting well above the target. There was a safety curtain behind, which above about ten feet became a net. We were trying to put an arrow through the netted part and into an emergency-exit sign on the wall behind 🤣

@@davef.2329 equally as scary.. id guess

It's to deal with strong crosswinds.

I was looking for this comment

thats what terrorists do.

It looked like the nose wheel might've touched the tarmac before it lifted off again. Yeesh!

At first I thought it was the engine exhaust destroying the lights, but now I see the little wheel near the wing tip. Are those ordinarily deployed with the main landing gear, or only when the plane-driver is showing off?

​@@fluchterschoenThose are always down when the main landing gear are down. Don't want the wings dragging on the ground.

Strike! Strike! Strike...

Multitude of factors, how much runway left, is the plane stable, etc... the wheels may be on the ground but the plane is still flying until the speed drops under stall speed.

I'm not a pilot or a huge expert but if you're talking about the A380 go around, I think the call to go around was made before it was stabilized in any way, probably around 0:34, it always takes some time to get the engines back up to 100%. I also think nowadays you'll get more criticism when you decide to go through with such a landing instead of going around because it's considered the safer option to reassess your situation in the air without stress.

The @74gear channel has covered this in far better detail but basically, inertia takes place and large engines take seconds to spool back up to full power. The decision to Go Around can be made as the aircraft is seconds from touching down, power is selected, and it's inevitable that the wheels will touch as the power comes back on. The issue with letting "gravity do its thing" is that you want a stable approach at a certain point and it's easy to float or bounce and at those speeds, the aircraft can quickly run out of room to stop and/or get into an unsafe situation. Basically, if things are unstable, unpredictable winds etc., it's best to make the decision to simply go around, and that may include briefly touching down. Check out that channel, it's quite informative and you'd likely enjoy it. Cheers.

@@lsdzheeusi Appreciate your explanations and heads up on the 74gear channel! The more I can learn the less time i have to wear my Dunce Cap!🤣 Cheers!

It is true that close to ground, if you perform a go around in a heavy jet, it can momentarily touch down in the go around maneuver. However, in this case it is clear that they decided to go around after the touch down. How do I know that? The spoilers came up when it touched the ground. If go around power was applied before the contact, the spoilers would not have extended. The pilot for some reason applied rudder into the wind (left) when in an it should have been the opposite rudder to align the body of the aircraft with the runway center line (crosswind). The wrong rudder application nearly knocked it off the runway. If the runway was wet, this could have been a lot worse.

They kicked the rudder hard left just before touchdown

Exactly.

It was, I was in the area on the day and my dad had to keep correcting the car from being blown sideways

It certainly looks like he meant to do that.:D

I watch UPS and Fed-Ex 757’s climb at crazy pitches all the time. What is it with those pilots??

You have a few B-52's? I wish I could even afford one!

@@LiftPizzas 😂

Gravity alone can extend the gear without any funny maneuvers. Yes, the hydraulic system is biased out hence the gear doors remaining open. The system works very well.

B-52 can "crab" there main landing gear. That's how they move the ground and landing and taking off in crosswinds. I'm guessing they bring the thrust up to taxi and crap the gear and go!

One extra nerd.

No, he just used a minimal flap setting. If you have the runway available it allows a better climb due to less drag, less wear and tear on the flaps system, and better fuel economy.

I don't know about that but it was a pretty stupid mistake. Very impressive, but pretty stupid.

Likely fairly empty and they wanted a higher climb rate. The 757 has powerful engines.

He just has a minimal flap setting. It is legal and normal operation.
