SDQDI Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 That first one looked like a flapless landing? Which would make sense if landing in high winds but it's just not something you see the big boys do real often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bennyboy320 Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 That first one looked like a flapless landing? You're right it looked flapless to me too, having never flown a Boeing I'm not qualified to comment on that type, as for of Airbus the minimum landing flap is three as a normal flap setting or in windshear conditions, airliners are not like light a/c, it takes a lot of concrete to stop as speed increases, remember the old formula 1/2mv squared. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
facthunter Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 It does appear to be flapless. That would mean a touchdown speed of around 200 knots which is above tyre speed and not a good idea in wet conditions as aquaplaning is much more likely. I can't recall any way that would be recommended as a technique. Nev 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
