How these big airplanes are able to bounce like that is just an engineering masterpiece. Even the fact that the tires are able to withstand that and not immediately blow out is insane.

the landing gear and other strong but lightweight steel parts have to be forged in giant 50,000 ton (or more) hydraulic presses. The MESTA 50 has been in use since the 1940s making aircraft parts.
Flying through smoke with difficult terrain has to be nerve racking. Also, nice instant input on the pull up after wind sheer.

Just put a sped up clip in
That British Air pilot in the first clip is amazing, that was a MASSIVE save. Full nose up a second before it even, which was great intuition. That aircraft could have easily been totaled if it was going to hit that hard on the nose wheel.
@jarekferenc1149

Intuition? I don't think so. Any PPL(A) holder would pull the yoke full nose up feeling the nose free falling. It's a conditioned response rather than intuition. I'd even say that a person with 10 minutes of experience with controlling an aircraft would do the same. It's a self-preservation instinct. Intuition would be too slow.

@@jarekferenc1149 You're right, but also, the 787 is fly-by-wire. I don't know the control laws it follows through a normal landing flare, but FBW laws are often based on commanding a certain G-load and/or attitude. So while the pilot likely made the input, the robot may well have been doing it already.

That go around with British Airways shows that pilots earn their pay. It was a spectacular maneuver. He'd probably make a great surfer. I was a controller and always watched every single touchdown with extreme interest. This is something you dont see often because pilots usually dont have the balz to go around.

If it's real, whatever, a 747 which you seem to fly, definitely isn't so susceptible to the 'shed effect' at Heathrow. You passively shame pilots who have equal experience to you, there was no induced oscillation there at all, ever had a look what happens to the poor A320s or A321s that land at Heathrow during bad weather?

Back in the 70’s I was on a forest fire east of Prineville, Oregon. A twin engine plane with a siren and red light flew over just above the tree tops warning us the fire retardant plane is coming to drop it’s load. We all hit the ground. Some people did get a little amount of retardant on them.
Its nice that pilot honked at the cameraman letting him know that everything is ok and he doesn't have to worry.
BA has very good pilots.
Nicely done 👍 Greetings from Helsinki!

Suggesting the pilot had to ‘intervene’ might lead people to think there was no pilot flying moments before touchdown. There was absolutely a pilot in command on the controls providing flight surface inputs prior to that moment.
Very good,,am so much happy to see such a wonderful GOROUND,if the landing isn't stable immediately initiate a GOROUND
I was on the British airways flight, honestly I didn’t know what was going on after he took off again, we felt it touch the ground but then he took off again so we were all really confused, Thanks to the pilot though! The flight was Northern Ireland To England

The exact same thing happened in the BA flight I took from Heathrow to Hamburg (the same week Germanwings crashed) 30m after the aborted landing people were quiet but starting to get anxious and finally the pilot explained to us what had happened. 😊
I don't know if the Canadair clip qualifies as saving the plane at the 'last second', but it is a great shot of heroic work nonetheless.

Nicely handled !! BZ
Very nice split second reactions from the BA pilot. That seemed to happen at the worse moment. If he'd not pulled up then would the nose have stuffed into the tarmac I wonder and caused a crash.
I had that experience before at air France
LOL - the plane that king hit the chopper looks pretty pleased with itself. "Take that you insult to aircraft"
Nice work of the BA crew
Twin otter was only 5 years old.Glad everyone made it out ok but very interesting that the otter had steering issues literally 10 days before the accident.
The BA 787 remembers me the LH A350 in ORD.
I had a very similar one than the first landing. Was in Dublin with aerlingus, freaking scary lol
The first clip is kinda accurate to what just happened to me on a flight 2 hours ago. There was turbulence all throughout approach, and the plane was kinda slammed down rather than brought down smoothly lol. It was also a 787
Whoa that will pucker things.
Well done. Fly safe
Ba has very good pilots
Perfect ryanair
Why was the Otter landing with the wind? Maybe it changed suddenly.
Well played. It’s just a go around though. All pilots have to do this and be prepared. Low costs do it on a much more regular basis than BA long haul.
Really looking forward to the upcoming MSFS release which includes firefighting missions.
Awesome
Damn the C5 is a monster.
You can hear Jerry holding in the screams so that the clip would be useable for broadcast 🤣
A relative is a BA pilot for these planes - they’re so good at flying (at low cost) they’re incredible hard to put firmly on the ground. It’s that simple. The opposite of say, a 747.
Very nice 👍👍🌹❤❤❤❤

Now a days, due to KZread, I’ve heard of pilots getting in trouble with their chief pilot after they go viral on one of their flights. There won’t be any reports.

As for the correction; it actually looks more like an automated intervention than a manual one, it takes a lot of effort to get the aircraft to pitch full up, even with the wonderful, albeit temperamental, FBW System on these newer aircraft😦
Thank you to the C-3 pilot who swept the catwalk at the barracks for me as he or she turned into the approach path for 3rd MAW. Saved me a lot of work! I owe you a drink!
Uh, yeah…I’d call that a runway excursion
just a suggestion, I think these videos would be better if the clip description was overlayed on the clip itself instead of its own 8-second slide. I find myself skipping around with the arrows keys. It takes 15 seconds to get to the first clip, too long when the clip itself is also 15 seconds. would improve viewer retention
