I was on a flight to San Fran several years ago. The landing was so smooth I couldn't tell when we were on the ground until I felt some of the roughness and cracks in the runway. When we were getting off the plan, the cabin crew was standing in the entrance so I told the captain how smooth it was (as if he didn't know already) and he was clearly very proud of it. I've always loved observing people doing things they love and excel at. That was one of those times. I'm sure from the outside it looked just like the KLM landing.

I have experienced that KLM landing. As a passenger you don't even notice the touchdown and only hear the reverse thrusters and feel the slowing down. I have also experienced turbulence similar to that Embraer (flying in an Embraer coincidentally) and the aircraft bounced twice before activating the reverse thrusters. The pilot was very experienced and very professional about the landing.

Landed in Frankfurt once with Lufthansa in a A380 with Hauptmann Hartmann. He must have been the grandson of Erich cause boy did he know how to put that big bird down after a similar steep banking turn and touching down just as she leveled out with the smoothest landing ever!

"For manual turns up to 33° bank, no sidestick back pressure is required as the system automatically trims the aircraft to maintain level flight. The system freezes the auto-trim when the angle of attack becomes excessive, the load factor exceeds 1.3g or when the bank angle exceeds 33°. If these situations occur as the result of a deliberate manoeuvre, the pilot must apply back pressure on the sidestick to maintain the selected attitude. In all cases, Load Factor Protection automatically limits the control inputs so that the aircraft remains within AOM “g” limitations and Pitch Attitude Protection limits the aircraft attitude to a maximum of 30° nose up or 15° nose down." "Bank Angle Protection limits the maximum bank angle of the aircraft. Within the normal flight envelope, if the sidestick is released when bank angle is above 33°, the bank angle is automatically reduced to 33°. With full sidestick deflection, the maximum achievable bank angle is 67°. If either Angle of Attack or High Speed Protection are active, full sidestick deflection will result in a maximum bank angle of 45°. With High Speed Protection active, release of the sidestick will cause the aircraft to return to a wings level (0° bank)attitude."

On the way out I congratulated the Captain, he said thank you, but he said 80% was the electronics and 20% was the air traffic control clearing them to round the corners off the approach due to the favourable weather conditions and lack of traffic.

That KLM landing. Just wow

I was flying into Orlando Florida with some fellow workers, one of which was a first time flier. I gave her the window seat so she could see everything. We came in from the north and had to land going south to north. We were pretty low when the pilot put the plane in a bank about as steep as that A380 did to bring us around. Almost as soon as we were out of the turn we touched down. You can imagine the first timers reaction to that landing. It was as fun as any Disney ride I have ever been on and told the pilot as much. He had an ear splitting grin on as I left the plane. ☺

Took a flight from Milwaukee to Grand Rapids. A strong cold front was blowing through GR just as we were landing. With a really strong crosswind.....I could easily see the runway out my passenger window as we were coming in on final approach. As soon as a wheel touched down, the pilot pivoted the plane and straightened it up to the runway. It was amazing.

I may had been on that KLM flight... I remember flying KLM into Schiphol and while I knew we were landing -- never felt the touchdown. Had a similar experience in a C-17 -- while we did perform a tactical landing (very rough) -- the touchdown was butter... KLM has some great pilots -- I use to fly a lot; KLM was my 2nd favorite to fly while Emirates and Qatar would probably tie for 1st. But, if it is first-class, I will go with Emirates any day of the week.

I always thought that A330s looked like they were shy of the ground, smooth landings seem to come very easy for them, but that one takes the biscuit.

That butter landing was beautiful. As a limousine driver, I do something comparable and I call it butter braking in a 22 passenger stretch Hummer. 😁

Butter breaking in car is not hard to so. Did it on my second ever driving lesson 😉

That butter landing was ridiculous

that second video. i LOVE that feeling, watching the wings and feeling that engine surge... i love flying

I recall my first flight. It seemed crazy. The pilot would steep climb and then level out, and then steep climb again, and level out, and repeat this. Once reaching Texas, he reversed the procedure and was doing nose dives, one after the other. Once we had landed, the fellow sitting next to me said that he flies weekly, and that this was the worst flight in his history, but he thought it was best not to tell me this until we had landed..

was on a flight to NY. plane had a stop in MO. Plane starts dropping altitude, had a window seat, plane drops what looked the edge of runway approach. then it starts gaining speed, slows, gains speed, slows, I'm looking out the window, plane is 60ft off the ground flying along cows, pastures, cows, pastures. for about 4 mins. I deduced the pilot was slightly lost. I could the barbs on the barbed wire fences, the eye lashes on the cows, the plane couldn't have been like 7 to 9 ft from pasture grasses.

I experienced a landing like that from a Virgin America crew. Flight out of Ontario, CA, to PDX (Portland, OR). A320? Can't remember, but super smooth and the reversers being engaged was the first real clue we were down.

The A380 is an absolute beast, empty of px's and minimal fuel load it can do just about anything. High bank rates and climbs are seen most often at air shows.

KLM pilots are the best of the best as we just saw with butter landings and steep turns to land.

Just goes to show what an incredibly responsive aircraft the 380 is!

My one and only trip on an E145 was just as turbulent. Coming into land the plane was crabbed so much I could see the ruway myself. Then as we landed it was with such a bump and immediate application of the brakes, I damn near slid out from under my seatbelt!

Flew into SeaTac returning from Christmas leave to Ft. Lewis one early January evening during a Winter storm. Plane went up down, right left, plus some directions not yet invented. Another time flying into ATL two weeks after 9/11 going to an Army Conference, the Delta flight dropped 100-300 feet (but felt much, much more) all of a sudden. W/ 9/11 in everyone’s mind, everyone yelled out & immediately thought the worst.

Under such conditions, you should not try to make a soft landing. You have to make a bump and break immediately so that the plane cannot be lifted again by a gust. In heavy rain, the bump is also necessary to avoid aquaplaning. Then one should also break with reverse thrust because wheel breaking with aquaplaning on one gear only is also dangerous.

We had a "butter" landing in Atlanta, GA last week returning from Republic of Panama. I shook the pilots hand and congratulated him on such a soft and smooth landing. I had quite the opposite landing there in ATL returning from Vegas a couple of months ago

0:17 Look at the right rudder authority in this pylon race commercial airliner turn. This is a knife-edge!

I never knew that AF planes had tail hooks for emergencies. That’s really cool.

The KLM landing reminds me of some landings I've had in A320 and 737s (as a passenger). Conditions were windy with gusts and there were several occasions where we landed so hard I was surprised that the landing gear struts didn't come up through the body. You could feel the force of impact come up through the seat. Only on one occasion did the pilot come over the intercom and apologize for the rough landing.

A380 didn't appear to lose any height during that turn so I'd call it a coordinated turn, not banking too steeply.

For the record, that turbulence was by definition moderate due to only brief loss of control if you can call it that

That was an incredible landing. I can imagine a little fistbump in celebration after he eased that nose down.

Never seen an F-15 use its hook before. Cool stuff

The F-15 at the end was at RAF Lakenheath. It would be great if all comercial airports had this system near the end of the runway so V1 could be extended. Oh and airliners had arrester hooks of course. 😄

That was an F-14 Tomcat. Not an F-15. The F-14 is very similar, but has a more robust airframe for Catapult Launches, and a Tail-Hook for Arrested Landings. The F-15 does NOT have a Tail-Hook.

Bravo on that go around. I was hoping he would...and he did!

The most interesting video here was the American Eagle Embraer attempting to land in Joplin, Missouri in an area of strong wind sheer and wisely abandoning and doing a TOGA.

That KLM butter landing is legendary!

That KLM pilot deserves a high paying raise

At 1:00 that was some rough turbulence but I wouldn't call it "severe." I've been on flights where the wings looked like a damn bird flapping away at their utmost limits - with sudden drops and uptakes with a ton of noise.

Correct. That was light to moderate chop, but it was smart to do the go around, since even that amount of turbulence near the ground can be risky. Severe has you slamming against your seatbelts, and has people screaming.

@@drkatel that DOES sound harrowing. I experienced it flying out of Ontario airport near Los Angeles during the Santa Ana winds. We were getting repeatedly slammed against our seatbelts and the wings were absolutely bouncing, as the folks on the plane were screaming, and several folks were just breathing into their barf bags. We had to stay strapped in the entire flight. The flight attendants were actually crying and the pilots were incredibly apologetic and sounded shaken. Fortunately, we didn't have any injuries. I'm sure it only l lasted a few seconds, but it felt like hours. Honestly, the flight was perfectly safe, but it felt no bueno.
