737 Pilot Refuses to Abort Landing

Those CL-415s going fairly low overhead and scooping water looked amazing.

Southwest does the bouncy thing as they know their passengers can’t afford the amusement park.

The first clip was of a completely routine, smooth as butter landing with no question of having to go around.

Those planes scooping up water is the coolest. They will get that fire out.

Those Canadair CL-415s were amazing. Also you can see the fire in the background

The sound of braking in the first video was an interesting one.

1:21 I love how the reflections on the nose make it look like the BA A350 is being crumpled by the wind.

Firefighting air tankers put on a nice show!

Quote from my first flight instructor: Never try to save a bad landing.

That's the best close-up of a British Airways I've seen

Crazy seeing BA’s G-XWBE on the video I just came back home from working on it’s A Check!

That fuel leak was seriously a problem massive

Those firefighters coming low to scoop water was amazing to watch....those PPL on bridge r lucky to experience it😀

Amazing content as always 😁

I once had the crosswind exceed the capabilities of my training Cessna. I remained in a traffic pattern hoping the wind would die down so i could land. It never did and running low on fuel I had to land. The wind caused the plane to spin on a wheel doing a 180. All this on my 2nd solo.

love the vids brodie

@lucaas I think the BA flight was doing a windshear escape and not a normal GA. They left the gear and flaps as configured as per the windshear escape procedure.

I think, that Speedbird made GA due to windshear. Nose up, no config change- gears/ flaps down.

That A-350 at 01:20 actually hit Wind Shear & they are not going around but they are doing a "Wind Sheer Escape Maneuver" (as you can see when tail wind pushes nose down, then pilot pitches up but plane speed was too low so he drops nose again, ) This is also evident as during a "Wind Sheer Escape Maneuver" as per SOP's from manufacturer they are not allowed to retract the gear or flaps like they do when in a go around maneuver, In case the tail wind increase and the plane stalls you want gear out to absorb impact with ground. (but a stall would never happen in a go around so they instantly retract gear ASAP). Also later 02:18 that is not blue smoke from a cold start (then it would be white steam) It is blue smoke from a new engine or overhauled engine first start burning off all the left over assembly oils used inside the engine (when new & in shipping/storage turbine fan blades on hot side are coated in a oil like fish oil to prevent them from getting surface rust, this burns off when first started, same as the inside of combuster cans are coated for same reason

This was a good one. Gotta respect them fire plane pilots. That job’s tough.
