Long landing at Innsbruck
This Russian pilot comes in to land at the Innsbruck Airport, missing the touchdown point and finally touching down 2/3 of the runway later. Guess some days are better that others…
P-47 belly landing
This RC P-47 has quite a troubled day. After a first difficult landing, the pilot manages to send it once again in the air. On the second flight the right wheel bails out 🙂 and the pilot is forced to belly land the plane. The P-47 is saved thanks to the pilot’s skills. The minimal […]
Son, did we land or were we shot down?
This video reminds me of a joke I heard some time ago. A young co-pilot performed an extremely rough landing… and such was the case that the company he was working at had a rule: the pilots of the aircraft had to stay near the door and wave their passengers goodbye. After his very hard […]
Airbus A320 crosswind approach
The massive low pressure storm system named Emma hit Europe with high winds and heavy rain. Gale force winds were recorded all over Central Europe. It is no surprise that this Lufthansa Airbus A320 was nearly blown off the runway by crosswind as it attempted to land at Hamburg on RWY 23. The pilot managed […]
Dramatic hard landing
This Bk-117 was coming in to a near drowning scene and everything looked alright. Unfortunately one of the engines of the helo fails and the pilot is forced to make this dramatic hard landing. Check out the story for more details of this incident in Phoenix.
Airbus A380 crosswind landings
The largest passenger airliner in the world, the Airbus A380 is a double-deck, four-engine airliner manufactured by the European corporation Airbus. Don’t know what this guy says in the video, but the footage speaks for itself… crosswind landings with the giant A380.
Extreme rough landing
Guess this is every passengers nightmare… a very rough landing giving you the scare of a lifetime. The aircraft in question is a BAe 146 and it hits hard. Not the most skillful of pilots, but then again human error counts for more than 80% of aircraft incidents and accidents. I’ve done some bad landings […]
Russian Knight on his belly
In 1997 at an airshow in Bratislava one member of the Russian Knights aerobatic team forgot to lower the landing gear of his Sukhoi Su-27 Flanker. As a result of this incident, only helicopters were allowed to perform that day. As for the aircraft, there was some damage to the underside but nothing major. The […]
Incredibly short landing
This is probably one of the shortest landings I have ever seen. That Piper Cub stopped in just a few meters. That is the effect of a strong head wind.
