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
Major pucker factor..... WOW!

it is mathematically impossible for either hummingbirds, or helicopters to fly. fortunately, neither are aware of this.
Nice, now kick in the burners and do the 3 mile climb.

In this configuration, how close do you think he is to a stall?
Oh man I wish this wasn't shot on a Nokia from 2006!
It is an airbus, it can not stall! Alfa Floor will not allow the aircraft to get into an unsafe situation and will not let a wing stall. He can fly it by holding the stick in his lap and using power to determine alt. It is very easy on an airbus as the computer is doing all the work!Originally Posted by Spunker

Nick, this is a great example of Alpha Floor. The aircraft would not let the pilot pull up into a stall situation.. Your example was also good in showing a failure for the flight crew to stay at the 100 feet it was suppose to during this maneuver. The engines did not spool up until it was hitting the trees.
There is a lot of controversy over the Airbus aircraft going into the trees...the only thing that is not a controversy is the fact that the aircraft handled the situation well, it was the pilots or the engine controls that did not add power....depending on who you ask.

Ah not really, would be something cool to see on a commercial aircraft, something different lol

That was sick. Lovely weather I see.
That weather actually helped that maneuver, I'm sure. The uploader notes there was a 20 knot headwind at the time.

Oh yea on the days at IFP when the winds are 35MPH we watch the arrivals land in that headwind. It looks like they just hover and drop like a feather.
