Makes me feel a bit better about the odd shocker I have produced over the years......

Ouch! He tried to flare but clearly way too late. Did you see the bounce in the flap? Terrible. That would have felt like s^%! in the cabin! How many landing fees did they charge the bloke?

 

 

[Guest aviatrix27]

3 for the price of 1 - maybe he wasn't current :p

An FO that was new on type? yep landing fee x 3. See the air brakes deploy and retract each time it landed. Poor bugger probably had to buy a few rounds at the bar that night.

Reminds me of that old 'snag list' you see from time to time where the pilot adds

 

aircraft lands hard on 'auto land' and the engineers response was "aircraft not fitted with auto land"

I resembled that video during my training, albeit in a light aircraft

Ha ha That's one way of saving the company fuel for currency training.

 

 

[Guest JabJockey]

I guess my currency will never expire then :)

Ah yes, now that one is directly applicable to our type of flying - do not try and force an aircraft onto the ground! That nose oleo put up with a surprising amount of abuse before crying enough.

I always say to people "If you bounce, put the power on and go around". That rule works well...

When I see video's of pilots landing like the Cherokee Pilot.They should realy consider looking for another hobby.
