I believe the Azores clip was a celebratory flypast when they retired their A310 back in 2018. No passengers were harmed.

Years ago I serviced an office building HVAC system in San Diego, CA, that was under the approach path for Lindberg Field. While on the roof, airliners would pass low and directly overhead, to where I could clearly see individual rivets on the fuselage. The aircraft would then drop below the elevation of the roof shortly afterward as it neared the airport runway. After passing, not only would I hear that wake turbulence sound, it would also send nearby palm trees swaying vigorously. I always thought that whole experience was very cool.

5 extra seconds of Aviation. Can't complain about that.

SUPERB! Who knew a wake vortex made a sound??!!😆❤❤❤❤

I have a flight path above my house. It's high enough that you mostly don't hear the jets, but occasionally I hear that wake vortices sound. Always wondered what it was, now I know.

Airfoils don't stop producing lift at touchdown. What changed was was the spoiler deployed and that completely changed the airflow in that area that's why the vortex disappeared.

Wow! I had never heard wake vortices, I didn't even know it was actually possible to hear them. There are videos of planes flying through smoke (usually at airshows) where you can see them developing very clearly, it would be great to see their shape _while_ also hearing the sound they make and how the two transform over time, how they relate.

I did a lot of closeup plane spotting at JFK in NY years ago and the Lockheed 1011 Tristar had the most audible wake vortices of any aircraft of it's time. I'm really glad you got this one. Thanks. 👍

I'm sure that A310 is a repeat but the 757 vortex sound was something special!

That A310 flypast is one of the most Kerbal things I've seen in a while, complete with pitch oscillations.

Really interesting to see how the plane in the first clip seems not to be moving at all, but it's still a very bumpy ride for the people inside. This could maybe be a bit reassuring for people who are afraid of turbulences.

This might be my favourite week yet! The sound from the Tui 757... wow 👌 Can't beat the wings of a 787 either... what flex!

Another excellent 3 minutes as always. Thanx 🤘

Pilot in the Azores clips was working it. Good vid to show someone who thinks planes basically fly themselves. Outside looks fine, ride is smooth, floating.... inside the pilot is doing a lot to make that happen.

I've never heard a wake vortex before. I lived next to Manchester airport for two decades.

I love that every runway in the Azores begins and ends with a cliff...

That pilot in the cockpit looks like he’s driving a motorcycle 😅😂

I’ve heard that sound many times but never knew it was caused by wake vorticies.

Maverick: Maverick requests fly by. Controller: Negative, the pattern is full. Maverick: Heh, heh, heh...

I could live without the clickbait inaccurate titles, but I do appreciate the extra five seconds of aviation.

I guess I missed the part where the pilot flies too fast.

I’m an airline Captain with lots of years behind the yoke but even all that experience doesn’t shelter me from making mistakes. I watch lots of aviation videos just to learn from other pilot’s mistakes and I try very hard not to criticize them but Air Canada should’ve gone around after the enormous bounce. Bounced landings like that almost assuredly guarantee a tail strike.

3 Minutes of Aviation is one of the few things that will keep me from a Klondike Bar.

2:20 That is what we are hearing on the planes headed towards IAD as they pass over at around 10k ft. Always sounded like they were throttling back when in reality it’s wake vorticees. Too cool

one of the best 3 minutes of aviation videos imo

I love the videos but PLEASE reconsider using the clickbaity titles.

skiathos is like "saint marteen of europe"

That Air Canada landing should have been a go around imo

2:12 I used to hear those when I lived below the Heathrow flight path. Mainly from 777s. Incredible.

Another excellent post. Holy cow that turbulence! Dude in the right seat was holding on tight!

Man that 757 really is a beast, can't wait to start working on them!!

That pilot in the first low pass was badass! Otherwise I’d like to applaud the channel for the variety of different situations collected lately. Last but not least I often have the impression of Tokyo Narita based on these clips that conditions may be a challenge. Not sure how right or wrong I am though…

You can also hear the sound of the wake vortices at LAX for the parallel runways on the north side near In n Out Burger.

That A310 pilot is insane !

Very cool video. I never knew the wake vortices made any kind of sound/noise. Learn something every day.

The best Azores clip is the Canadian AirTransat pilot who ran out of fuel in a fully loaded aircraft and glided halfway across the Atlantic ocean to touch down at the same airport with the only damage being a full set of blown tires......if I'm in a busted plane I want a Canadian pilot

The cowboy airline pilots just keep on giving.

Azores's clip was a good example of a pilot doing a pitch PIO -- a Pilot Induced Oscillation. You can see it on the approach to the flyby from both views, inside and outside. For those who would say, "But he's correcting for turbulence, and the aircraft nose pitching on this pass was turbulence induced and normal in those conditions" -- turbulence is almost never a rhythmic event that conveniently matches the pilot's control inputs from the cockpit view. His personal technique correction: acknowledge the tendency to a pitch PIO and consciously dampen it in your flying. Or when a copilot notices and comments, let the copilot fly for a few seconds and see if the pitching stops; and when Captain takes over again, pitching resumes. This is an opportunity for people to learn.

Oooh five bonus seconds of aviation

I'm so glad these videos reinforce my opinion of flying.

Thank you ! This wake vortices... I live a bit away in the flight path of Stuttgart Airport. Every now and then I hear this noise, but I never knew what it was. I always thought it came from the throttling of the engines and always wondered why. Above all, the aircraft here are too high to hear the engines at all. Now I know what it is !

I have never even heard of wake vortices making weird sounds like that before! That was cool!

Was that Air Canada bounce a wind updraft or pilot induced?

The first clip Captain: You want some speed First Officer: 😮 Captain: I'll show you some speed!!!!

2:08 I've been in the path of the wingtip vortex once and thought the sound was incredible. I'd love to experience it more often.

Bit weird that you used the A310 clip once again but its always a joy to see my home being represented.

That first clip was pretty awesome.

love these vids

Surprised how the AC 789 didn't initiate a go around

Those a220 Aircrafts are frikin Beasts, once we took off from Dublin and it felt like that thing wanted to go vertical! Cabin was only halfway filled and we took off what felt just after using half of the Runway. I hope to Fly with that Aircraft soon :)

You've heard of the KITT car in Knightrider? Well the plane coming in to land at 2 mins 13 seconds of this video is the new KITT plane! They have not got round to painting it in suitable KITT livery, yet, though. It was disguised as an ordinary passenger plane in TUI livery. The KITT plane sure sounds cool!

The vortices dont stop because of touchdown/no lift, they stop because of the warm air sitting just above the runway. Wings still produce lift after touchdown until the plane drops below takeoff speed, which happens relatively quickly after spoiler deployment.

Very cool footage of these great airliners.

He wasn't flying "too fast" - he was simply doing a fly by to check the conditions. He didn't have his landing gear down, he had no intention of landing.

That was a cool video... Well done.

Azores air: Tower, requesting a fly by Tower: Negative. The pattern is full. Azores air: 0:44

The Air Canada 787 should have been a go around.

Thanks for always having such great content! I am always excited to see a new post!

Love you channel & always learn something (looked up London City airport & learned that London area has 6 international airports). Thank you!

I love London City Airport! You can touchdown and be in a Canary Wharf hotel in minutes 👍

That view from the cockpit has to be one of the scariest things I have seen as a potential flying passenger.

2:08 Bro is landing a 757 at St. Barthelemy

the Azores pilot shoud have joined the air force hahah crazy even the clouds were forming on the wings reminds me of the cone forming when jet fighters get supersonic

Excellent set of vids this time!

I counted at least 15 comments each like : "Air Canada should have gone around", or "what is too fast?". Don't you people ever read the comments? That's where you might learn something, from someone who knows what's going on in the clips.

Great job! Fantastic videos. Well done and keep collecting!

Too fast for what?

Fantastic episode!

Wow, very cool selection again

Next video: Plane pushbacks too slow

2:35 Interesting. I didn't know that. Played golf at a course close to an airport on a cool day and you could really hear the wake vortices after the plane's flew over. Like a strange ripping sound darting back and forth.

I didn't realize what wake vortices sounded like from the ground. Woah

Respect for the pilot😎

Very nice compilation. Thanks.

Nicely coordinated climb-out, after the fly-by.

I've never heard that vortice sound before.

Always great videos, but I do find the clickbaity captioning a bit ridiculous.

That A310 was bucking like a bronco!

The cockpit footage! Respeito!!!

never considered that wake vortices would create sound. makes sense though, tornados also produce sound before they even touch down... interesting to hear :)

I used to have a spot at the western end of Miami International Airport where I’d sit and watch the aircraft flying low overhead, coming in for a landing. Sounded like bull whips cracking in their wake after they passed by.

On that a220 clip was someone’s esa dog on the fight scared to fly ? 😂

Air Canada pilot bounced it down the runway in honour of the Raptors nba championship win 🥇

First clip - Airbus 310 is a good looking airplane , kinda muscular sporty for what it is .

Yayy! 😊TUi into Skiathos !

that was the cooles of your videos so far

With that high of a bounce, Air Canada should have gone around.

"These pretzels are making me thirsty!"

At 1:52, across the water, you can see the markings for the temporary runway used for the Red Bull Air Races.

I had a check bounce in Canada once. But it didn’t keep bouncing

your best video ever!

The Air Canada flight was following new guidelines put forth by Turdeau to save fuel by getting to the gate a lot faster...

I'm really interested seeing those spectacular pilot that flies too fast it's because they're looking amazing.

"Hello this is your Captain Speaking. We'll be Flying at 30,000 Miles per Hour at 350 Feet. Buckle up".

first clip background info "Yesterday 16 Oct 2018 was the last flight of the last A310 in the fleet named São miguel under the commands of the captain Carlos Moniz and co-pilot Luís Brito and we baptized the new airbus A321 neo of his name Sete cidades"

What was the weird sound in the A220 talking off from LCY?

Is it not buffeting from ground effect rather then turbulence ?

Great footage my friend! New sub here!🤙

I wonder how fast that Azores A310 was flying? Hard to get a sense of just how fast for those big planes. Were they right at the 250 kias limit?

Vortices are no longer being produced after the wing is unloaded. However, they continue in the atmosphere and generally fall to the ground for several minutes. This is a known hazard to light aircraft.
