8,000 ft x 150 ft + crosswind = not an ideal A380 landing

Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. We have a small problem.
All four engines have stopped. We are doing our damnedest to get them under control.
I trust you are not in too much distress. —Captain Eric Moody, British Airways Flight 9
That far from the runwya and still seeing the far side of the aircraft. Wow.

Holy crap NO FLARE!Originally Posted by MarkLawrence
Flare - who needs flare - when you can do a good "all wheels at once" landing with full right rudder! :lol:

YEEEEEE-HAAAAAA!
Flare? He dropped like a stone. A Wisconsin shooter I know Bruce Leibowitz touched off a storm on anet by saying it was a crappy landing and they should inspect the fuselage. His post didn't last long but he wasn't far off. I love the aircraft sitting on the infield there. Was that an old Beech? I love those things.

I guess Capt. Lutz needed more flare.

He planted that pretty good, with a ton of crab angle (and almost looked like he was having trouble keeping it on the runway as he tried to straighten it out). I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't check the gear struts after that, I don't know what their landing limits are, but he could have twisted something under there landing like that.

For the sake of discussion, here's the comment I made on YouTube about the "analysis" video:
Brian"It sure looks like the airplane is probably going to still be usable"... Was there ever any doubt? As hard a landing as it was, 'firm' touchdowns are not taboo for short-field landings such as this - in a crosswind, no less! I? remember reading 5,500 feet as the landing distance available (until the required turnoff), which would surely put any concern over a pretty landing on the backburner for the 380 crew. Well done!
To boot, it was a great demonstration? of what the airplane is capable of. Not unfortunate at all.

old beech 18. glad someone found the airplane deserving of attention in that video... :D
it is mathematically impossible for either hummingbirds, or helicopters to fly. fortunately, neither are aware of this.
Yep and sweet black and shiny! There is a great part in a Miami Vice episode where Glen Frey, Crockett and Tubbs are getting shot up and escape on a plane. Pretty sure it was a Beech 18 too. Great shot of it climbing out after they elude all the machine guns. Classic bird, show and song.old beech 18. glad someone found the airplane deserving of attention in that video...
