Isn't a go-around without thrust just called a landing?! 😆😉

That Delta A350 landing was so smooth the pax probably didn’t realise they’d touched down till the reverse thrust was engaged!

That delta landing was so smooth loved it. I once had such a smooth landing on a jet airways flight where I was unaware that we had landed until i felt the plane slowing down

The rarest aviation video on KZfaq - the ultra smooth landing. Thanks for including that one. I remember experiencing one such landing as a passenger. It was so soft that I could barely even perceive the landing. It was a little odd actually, because my brain had the impression that we were still in flight a couple feet off the runway when we had already touched down.

So when I saw the title for the smooth landing, I thought, "Come on, how smooth could it be that it's worthy of being included here?". And then I saw it. Wow, it's like the plane just floated to the ground like a feather.

The Kuwait airlines really "Air dropped" 💀

That Delta landing was beautiful. Reminds me of a BA landing into GLA in a very heavy fog. We had been descending for what felt like forever, and I was aware of the standard turns onto final north through north west through west to south west over the Campsie Hills. But seen absolutely nothing of the ground. Even in poor weather you usually see the hills where the last turn is made as it’s only a couple of thousand feet below. Anyway, that pilot came in so smooth in that fog, I wasn’t aware we had landed until he used the reverse thruster. 12/10 smoothest landing ever.

The Delta landing was BUTTER

I like how the 747's wing vortices stack the engine contrails atop each other.

The first one looked like a wind shear scenario. With severe wind shear you can have max thrust applied and still be squashed back into the runway

During the bank angle segment I was hoping to hear the “bank angle” “bank angle” annunciator. I just love that!🥰

That Delta landing was superb. It reminded me of the smoothest landing ever, about 25 years ago. I was working in Amsterdam and would be in the US on business a few times every year, invariably flying KLM 747s (nice) or Northwest DC-10s (not so much) from and to Schiphol. Wind at Schiphol is easily a bit difficult, but I nevertheless felt KLM and Northwest were a bit rough and ready, as in "landing is merely a means to an end." One time my return flight was overbooked and I was put on a Sabena A340 to Zaventem (Brussels), and I swear I could have built a house of cards that would have stayed upright all the way. I didn't realise we had touched down until I felt the front of the aircraft slowly lowering and then ... the lowering ... faded away. If somebody had told me it was Yehudi Menuhin landing the plane by bowing a Stradivarius with goose down ... I obviously wouldn't have believed it. But there would have been a nagging doubt. :-)

Delta guys are kings of the smooth landings

Schipol is scary in windy conditions. It’s very flat with some crazy gusts sometimes. Landed once where I was sure the wingtip would touch the ground, but luckily the pilot put us down safely 😮

Merry Christmas and thank for this year's best three minutes of aviation on KZfaq. 🎅

Merry Christmas and thanks for all your videos you have filmed for all of us around the world

If anything, the Kuwait pilot was an accidental genius who managed to land in those conditions thanks to his mistake, all be it slightly harder than you’d like, but aye a landing where you’re on the runway in one piece, is a good landing!

Very similar to the Emirates 777‘s incident.

Thank you for sharing these beautiful aircraft flying..

Your videos have gotten better throughout the year.

The smoothest Delta landing I’ve seen.

I don’t think for one second a pilot ‘forgot’ to either activate TOGA or manually move the throttles after confirming go around. It was just a flaky landing.

In regards to your comment about contrails. They're formed when the exhaust meets high water vapor in the atmosphere that didn't turn into a cloud yet as the super-cooled water vapor didn't have a chance to freeze onto condensation nuclei.

just curious, how does one know if the pilot really wanted to do a go around in the first video?

so early don't know what to comment except I missed aerosucre here

Contrails dissipate fairly quickly....they don't hang around for hours and spread out into clouds.

Season’s Greetings to all! Thanks for all the uploads 👍

That 747 bit was magical. TY!

I see you replaced the audio from that Schiphol "landing", there are two videos of it and it looks like the clip here uses the audio from the other capture. The original audio features someone astonished by what the pilots did, going "What the fuuuuck! What the fuck was that?!!". Great content as always! This channel is so consistent in its quality.

That Kuwait landing looked pretty good to me

Love that the content mentioned in title is always the first clip. Pure KZfaq orgasms there.

Love them buttery smooth landings 😎

It looked like a normal landing. Very hard to forget thrust during a go around as they just select TOGA.

Wow!! A perfect landing, now that's a rarity, lol 👍👍👍

@1:35 that was really rude of the aircraft to start calling the pilot such awful names. I mean he was doing his best it was really windy!

That A350 landing was pure 🧈

How do you know it was an attempted go-around?

Delta was quite a beautiful landing.

The Volaris go-around was on approach to RWY 05R at Mexico City. Winds there can get kinda tricky.

Hey, December 24, and here's a new video for us! Thank you and Merry Xmas!!!

Isn't the Volaris a flight simulator video?

When I do a long haul flight in my sim, getting a smooth landing is the most satisfying feeling ever.

Wow 🤩 nice landing Delta 👍

Great video

I don't think that was intended to be a go around, just a steep flare. Just my opinion

I dont believe the first one was a go around attempt. Looked like a very high flare. One does not “forget” go around thrust.

If you're upset somebody called you something, just remember the pilots get shat on every time they land 1:36

That Delta landing is one of the landings ever

Just a quick note - the Kuwait B777 is not attempting a G/A - its just doing a long flare..... and the Volaris A321 is not encountering any windshift - they are doing and non-precision (non ILS) approach, and with a bit of tailwind it seems - they get long in the flare and decide to G/A at the end of the touchdown zone - just as they should and the G/A seems to be executed very nicely.

2:30 That’s why planes should have four engines 😃

that delta landing was absolute fire.

Notice how the contrails (2:33) from the outboard engines wrap around and over the contrails from the inboard engines. That's a strong clue about how wings generate lift.

Just curious, how do you know the first plane was trying to go around? Looked to me like he just broke out of the fog, flared a bit much, and floated.

2:16 closed windows. What were the flight attendant doing

To all the armchair pilots : The 777 inhibits TOGA switches below 3ft (maybe 2, I’d have to check) so you need to manually advance the thrust. This pilot forgot to. Emirates did it as well, but retracted the gear in the mean time, worse outcome. That A350 landing was around 14s from flare to touch down, at 70m/s that’s about 1km of runway he’ll never get back, and most likely should have been a go around and they will get a call by someone. That A320 landing, the pilot called go around flaps which is sometimes SOP, but in a balked landing you should wait for thrust to retract the flaps. If I have to go around after flare is initiated, I would call go around, and when engines have spooled up, call flaps. Also limit the pitch to 10° on the A321 until enough ground separation is reached.

The Kuwait airplane did not forget go around thrust. They flew through a localized heavy downdraft and or Microburst. They held pitch attitude. Once clear of the weather on the other side the airplane will lose significant performance and will then drop to the runway. To Avoid a tailstrike the pilot lowered the nose and let the mains touch and landed. The argument here could be that they should have just performed a go around rather than try to "save" the landing. This visibility was probably poor and the pilot may have lost sight of the runway momentarily

Volaris A321 landed with +10kt tailwind when at 20' (according to what I see on the MFD)...exceeding the landing tailwind limitation of 10kts. Good call to go-around albeit too late, IMO.

You know you flare perfectly when both main gears are perpendicular to the runway during landing. A350-900 only and B767s main gears are tilt forward to accommodate gear retraction and lock into the wheel well.

Glad I watched until the end, that 747-400 contrail video is awesome, never seen it from above like that. Does anyone know when that was filmed or can link the original video?

Perfect landing from DELTA!

As an ATPL student: that was not a Go Around, just a bad landing. Pilot tried to flare for too long

The Airbus A350 is a fantastic aircraft. According to the motto: If it looks right, it flies right!

You could smooth buttercream on a cake with that Delta landing;)

Was that an intentionally smooth landing, or did it float a little? Looked like the flare was a bit slight, and touchdown was delayed many seconds afterward.

3 Minutes of Aviation, 3 minutes ago!

nice landing delta

Man i love the A350!😊

Merry Christmas!

Its so quiet inside an A350, that it feels like its in space or something.

2:40 Chemtrails confirmed!!!!!!

Aerosucre…. I miss you! ❤️

First video just appears to be a normal landing, what makes this a failed go around attempt?

That looks like a landing not a Go-around

I'm so glad this channel doesn't just show aviation F-ups.

Pilot and ATC: "Ah fuck it, it's all good"

What's a flare guys? I have an idea but I'd like to know for sure. 🤷🤔😁

How do you forget to apply thrust during a go round, how?

Interesting all the different comments. This was obviously a destabilized approach that was close to the Asians flight at SFO. If anyone read about that you would know: In an attempt to increase the aircraft’s descent rate and capture the desired glide path, the pilot flying (PF) selected an autopilot (A/P) mode (flight level change speed [FLCH SPD]), but instead of descending, the auto flight system initiated a climb since the aircraft was below the selected altitude. This prompted the PF to disconnect the A/P and move the thrust levers to idle, which changed the autothrottle (A/T) to HOLD mode, a mode in which the A/T does not control airspeed.

There is no such thing as 'forgetting to apply thrust in a go around.' Once the PIC calls for a go around the FO initiates the go around protocol and the fly-by-wire system takes over and applies thrust, retracts flaps and spoilers, and retracts the gear in a specific order. That plane was not initiating a go around. A nose high attitude when landing but not attempting a go around.

Fun fact, those A350 pilots felt 2.55 G during that turn!

Surprised about the Delta landing, landings in AMS can get quite rocky quite often.

That Delta landing looked to me like it used up a lot of runway and only touched down at the very end of the touchdown zone. Perhaps holding it off in order to make the landing as smooth as possible but in the meantime landing long. As a passenger it gets top marks but as a pilot I'd take a firm landing in the right spot over a smooth touchdown half way down the runway anyday.

You owe us 7 seconds of aviation

1:33 why is the plane insulting the pilots like that??

I swear I’ve had that dealt a pilot before lol so smooth I didn’t even know we were on the ground haha

Just came off a Delta a350. One of the smoothest landings I've had and they also didnt have to use reverse thrust! Guess the runway turnoff was well down the way.

The first one definitely wasn’t a go around , just a standard landing but hard

1st one is no Go around

That was one hell of a rough landing sheesh

That Delta pilot had to have been a former Air Force One pilot. That landing was pure butter creaminess!

747 spitting out them chemtrails!!

When TOGA becomes NO-GO...

Chef's kiss for that Delta pilot!

Merry Christmas 🎄🕊✝🙏🎀

The Volaris jet has a tailwind of 14kts on final resulting in a ground speed of over 170kts. Despite the high field elevation and density altitude at Mexico City, he is exceeding the landing limitations of the aircraft set forth by the manufacturer, therefore he should go around as the runway disappears really fast otherwise.

why do planes always call the pilots retard... I'd like to know why planes are so mean...

a350: Look my maximum bank angle! Boeing 747 and 707 being able to pull 3g barrel rolls: That's cute

What, no Aerosucre Christmas present for us? LOL

2:40 Contrails are formed when the World government lizard people want to dose us with mind control drugs! (at 30,000 feet, rather than just putting it into our food and water) All hail our scaly green overlords!

Yeah check out all those chemtrails I mean contrails in the background 246...
