How dare he

There is also the intro and outro, so it’s more like 40 seconds

Ik😂

I hereby declare that his next video should be 3 minutes and 3 seconds.

And 15 seconds more...too much fluff at beginning.

Awesome, would love to see this in real life (as long as it happens anyways) 🤷🏻‍♂️👍🏻

Did she alert a stewardess to show the pilot the video? I hope so.

sure...

@@Heike-- She tried to show it to several of the airline and airport officials, but none of them seemed to want to see it. We did not see the pilot.

Your wife was pretty cool about it as well, mine would have had kittens lol

that was a tough landing... loads of elevator too.

Not necessarily

Watch the ailerons on the wing and the elevator on the tail...wow, flapping like a duck.

Another euphemism is "Pilot Induced Oscillation"

His 'Stable Approach' was like my coming back home after the bar at 3.. ;)

How was it more serious?

@@garymitchell5899 It wasn’t, but the potential for it to have dug in was high.

No, there is no significant potential that it will "dig in".

Nothing was on fire, and nothing critical was falling off. Last thing you want is to panic all the passengers who can’t see how trivial the damage is.

You guys are crazy to say that a wingtip strike is routine or low risk. They’re lucky they had enough energy to fly away without the plane settling onto the wing. This was the definition of an unstable approach. You’re not brushing the ground with a winglet unless you already should’ve gone around. Everybody on that flight was extremely lucky.

That's what I was thinking. It totally looked like a Flight Simulator landing on the nearby taxiway before heading straight to the tower for a glitch sandwich

For real, was expecting some screams or gasps.

@Sn0w Controller Yes, I saw that comment from the recording person just now. The wing absorbed the bump pretty well.

I’m not sure why boeing decided to use split schimi’s and not jsut have one sharklet on each side

blended wingley things

@@deltafox757 Only stupid overly dramatic americans would scream and say "oh my god did you see that ?!?!?!" like an idiot.

I find a majority of pilots find landing a happy experience! 😊

Way better than the alternatives

A low vis landing is when you dont see the runway at all before minimums.

Yeah that wasn’t low visibility at all….

@@mdsx01 no it is not. I recommend brushing up on your definitions if you are an actual pilot.

Think you be more nervous being on that United flight.

-that +any. ANC was a KAL merry go round when I lived on that side of town.

@@se-kmg355 accurate

Well, you should be more nervous if you specifically chosen Asiana 777 to fly from SK to SF.

Finally we find out the other use of split scmitar 😁

With one 'scim' of the runway surface!

It looks like the pilot was inputting left roll since the spoilers were in the full down position just prior to the wing strike. But yeah, weird that there was so little correction.

a mile off

@@VyarkX They're full down when you're not correcting too. You can see the aileron doesn't move like he's correcting till after it hit and they even had a right roll input right before it hit. I don't know what the hell those pilots were thinking but they're morons.

It was very close, but that is why 737 has flat engine cowling bottoms, so they are not the first thing that hit the runway in case like this. The wing hits first if the wheels are on the ground but with enough wing flex it is very possible the engine hits too. It you tilt a 737 on it's side, it is just barely the wing that is the first to make ground contact and that leaves engine cowlings few inches room.

@@RoyalMela cowls were designed like that because historically 737 was designed for a smaller airport with less sophisticated baggage handlers machineries. Their landing gear are lower than airbus thus, the engine cowl must be flat to give more clear space from the ground.

Exactly the runway raised up by itself

The title had "let" removed from the end for dramatic effect. The pilot then performed a successful single wing go-around and landing.

The runway came out of nowhere to hit the wing tip, pilot could not see it coming. ;-)

Yes..The Goober Dude who writes the headings for 3 Minute of Aviation is Named…”KAREN”;

I hate it when runways wreck wingtips! It is almost as bad as what tree trunks do to certain cars..

It definitely appears to be a United paint scheme winglet.

beautiful

Landing in Milan (same airport, same runway) during night time was the trigger that pushed me to obtain a pilot's license... It's magical.

usually fog is much more dense during this period of year. a very rare sight on that mxp landing.

Who tf is hiring these pilots?

I doubt the incredible mass of the rest of the aircraft would have been effected by about 4 feet of thin metal digging in slightly. Probably would have gotten to the bottom surface of the wing before flattening out and just bending the whole wing upwards.

nah...do you think the engineers who designed that plane didnt account for the possibility of a wing tip strike??? that wing tip outer, lower strip is titanium, you can tell from the color of the sparks.....they pop a new wing tip on in a couple of hours and good to go. Planes are FAR more resilient than you give them credit for

@@ssnerd583 That plane's probably gonna be grounded for a few weeks at the least for a serious inspection tbh, wings are usually not designed to take much force at the tips. You can see it bend quite a fair bit in the video. As for the wingtip material, it's made of mostly aluminum I believe (The titanium sparks you see might be from titanium bolts? It seems rather ineffective to use such a heavy and expensive material that far out on the wing on a commercial aircraft). The bigger concern is an engine digging in; usually pilots are told to not proceed with an unstable approach, and being able to see the runway numbers from a passenger window counts as an unstable approach I think lol. It's not often that you get to have the tip of a wing touch the ground without tearing the engine to shreds, but hey, anything can happen lol

@@kelly2631 ....Cupcake, I became an FAA licensed A&P mechanic in 1983 and worked for a couple of the top 10 USA airlines. I have more than just an IDEA about some of this. 737's have wing mounted engines and cannot 'crab' as much as an aircraft that has engines on the tail like a DC9 or MD80 kind of airplane....the engineers know that wingtips may strike the runway at times like this and they have designed in various safety features.... Depending on the extent of the damage, and I have no experience with the 737-700, it COULD be a fairly simple repair of replacing the wingtip and done. Of course the inspectors will do their thing and poke and probe and all that to make sure....but....yeah it IS possible that it could take a while to repair. I doubt that it was a very serious event

@@ssnerd583 the repair job will be easy, wingtip attachments are often retrofitted on aircraft anyway. I’m just talking about the fact that wings are usually not designed to take these types of loads, and that there was indeed a huge amount of bending on a part that usually doesn’t bend that much. It would be unwise to just swap out winglets and not inspect the ribs. As for engineers designing wingtips to touch the ground, yes, they do design wingtips to hit the ground here and there, but I don’t think that dragging the wingtip across the ground while bending the entire wing maybe 6 feet upwards from just the last 1/3 of the span is something that they would design for. And as it turns out, the aircraft was turned around in 15 hours, so I suppose that you’re right on that front.

I never liked flying in the Ch47. Loud bucket of bolts and very unformfortable specifically if you are in full battle rattle! 26 years of military life and I just retired in August, 22. I’m done!!!!

​@@SuperchiefApacheAgreed. I was with a CH46 squadron in the Marines and they're loud as heck!

They didn’t do it on porpoise.

purpose

Guess how I know your not a CFI lol

@@SgfGustafsson LOL Touche!

i would bet to say everyone who has ever flown has porpoised at least once in their flying career

They downgraded their upgraded 737NG-WS to regular 737NG-W lol

I heard that’s it’s a really difficult runway to land on very short or something and the terrain is difficult not a hundred percent sure why.

i had a similar experience in october going into lga. the winds were high and the runways being short didn’t help

@@Lunabell-x6j that would make sense honestly. it caught me off guard being so close to the water when landing there. it looks so much closer in person.

@@Lunabell-x6j The runways at LGA (actually the entire airport) have the East River and Flushing Bay next to them, making it tough no matter which way you come in. Their lengths are as follows: Runway 13/31 Dimensions: 7003 x 150 ft. / 2135 x 46 m Runway 4/22 Dimensions: 7001 x 150 ft. / 2134 x 46 m

Wind sheer.

I grew up in Weymouth; it used to have a big naval base next door at Portland, with a naval air station too, so you'd get a lot of helicopters over the town and beach. The Chinooks were probably doing something with the SBS (seaborne version of the SAS) -their main base is in Poole, not far from Weymouth.

Exactly

well it could also be not wanting to go around to save the airline fuel and turning the airplane on time for its next flight, otherwise how would they get their big promotion with pay rise they been dreaming of?

*I love flying into LaGuardia so much.*

@@earlaweese as a pilot or as a passenger? It can be nerve wracking for both. Fun for passengers, if pilot is calm and experienced there👍🏻

what do you think of express way 31.

That split-scimitar winglet got filed down to a non-split-scimitar with a shredded dangling thingy 😅

More like 737-400

@@aperson6000 737-200 if he somehow mutilated his plane

that is why it did not crash after contact

that was not a 737 MAX

He was about 300 feet short of the touchdown aiming point and just 100 feet beyond the edge. And the wingtip touched the ground almost at the centerline and plane was veering heavily to left, even more it was off center to left to begin with.

I'm no real pilot but I too raised an eyebrow at such early touchdown (or tipdown, lol). Also pilots didn't seem to be fighting strong winds, at least from a cursory look at control surfaces. What are the odds of a wee gust doing this to a seemingly (at least until last seconds) stabilized approach?

Wake turbulence or wind shear maybe

@@XIIchiron78 That's what I was thinking.

@@XIIchiron78 no, it would not make the airplane go off centerline.

Have you even flown with Ryanair?

He was off center line and was trying to correct for it when he should have done a go around already. Pilot error

@@JimNortonsAlcoholism Agreed. He was VERY off centerline. Pretty egregious for a professional pilot.

@@JimNortonsAlcoholism And the plane was veering even more to left. First contact was at the innermost of six threshold markings on right side of the centerline and tip scraped as far as between the runway number markings. So he was going 15 feet to left during that 50 feet of scraping.

You're not a pilot are you?

You can see him go full left on the aileron for almost a second before touchdown.

_It's just a flesh wound._

shit will buff out.

Prayers

Then watch it on half speed for almost a full 6 minutes.

Same here, near hexham. They have flown by about quarter mile or half mile away, and you can feel the pressure waves. Awesome machines.

Yes

They have ATIS...... and probably disengage AP once runway on sight

@@alexdevTF that's quite standard isn't it

🤣

How do you wing strike a high wing? Were you banked like 60 degrees.

Given Cessna's are high wing aircraft a wing strike would require a huge bank angle. Sounds like you were very lucky to have not destroyed the aircraft.

@@AnthonyHigham6414001080 he probably hit his head on it during preflight 😂

@@Bren39 plot twist: he flies a citation.

@@THYB737 he said he was "cheaper to fix". Citation repairs most likely not cheap... So no plot twist.

Yeah CAT3B I didn't see anything till the nose wheel came on....75m is bloody nothing

The visibility along the runway isn’t good, and certainly below minimums for cat 1 approaches. Just because the fog is patchy and the approach lights are fully visible doesn’t mean it’s not low viz conditions.

It's ok, it's not part of the airplane

Scimitar winglet is just an addon for regular 737NG. It's replaceable.

I don't even want to know what the plane calls black pilots

Keeps them humble

@@mikewhipkey6863 SLAVES! SLAVES! -👴🏻

Lol yeah. But when a little turbulence occurs everyone screams for their life😂
