Bad Landing First choice 757

Oct 21, 2008 - Otherwise known as a 3-point landing. I agree that this is indeed a technique which can be fairly effective, particularly in light aircraft. The flight manual for the Airbus I fly and my company's SOP's require that we do our best to put both main gear down, cross-controlling aileron and rudder inputs to keep wings level. That is from the text book, but wind shear or gusts (as the guys in the video are experiencing) make it much more a case of just getting the thing down positively on the 1000ft

Oct 22, 2008 - I would'nt say it was a bad landing but neither would i say it was a good landing. Very well controlled i admit but to me (not sure about others) it looked a little bit shakey when the wind lifted the main gears up again and left the nose gear as a balance.

Oct 29, 2008 - Did you see the nose drop before touchdown? That was, however a good landing considering those vicious winds.

Nov 14, 2008 - the airport is near water, would explain winds and this attempted visual (or ILS)

Nov 14, 2008 - Those engines sound painfull already.XD That's an awkward landing indeed..lol

joshbirtwistle Says:

Nov 15, 2008 - oh come on there was nothing dangerous at all about the landing so it was a good one

adamu328 Says:

Nov 19, 2008 - I'd call that a 'difficult' landing, seemed well managed to me!

ECAaxel Says:

Nov 19, 2008 - just because it wasn't dangerous doesn't mean it is a good one, by normal standards that was a bad landing
