A-320 Cockpit View: Difficult Landing

Back


This is recent video of an Airbus A-320 of SATA International making a final approach and landing at Funchal, Madeira Is., Portugal.
This airport is known as the "other Kai Tak" because of it's very difficult approach.

I have more aviation vids. on the 'Tube
(Plus a couple vids. of me drumming..lol)

the thing about the "stall speed" is incorrect, stalling depends on the configuration of the aerofoil, this can be due to flaps down, icing or what be it. Extra G-forces also change the stalling speed, you cannot rely on a specific speed as when it stalls. you normally feel a stall coming on and so you act as appropriate to avoid it. From what I could see, that landing was fine, didn't look bad at all. :)

What a rubbish video you missed the best bit by filming the skippers hands.

all u simmers are dorks...an airplane can stall at any speed or attitude...its happened to me with a 10 degree nose down attitude at 190 knots

They did do it, otherwise the spoilers would not deploy and therefore the autobrakes would not activate. The rad. alt. call of 5 feet as with other heights can be inhibited by PIN programming depending on the airline requirements :)

Thats exactly right because if you go below 180 kts you will stall in AIRBUS 320 or Boeing747.YES,It takes BIG SKILL to land VFR on A/P without ILS or established glideslope...Winds looked about 24MPH/30 gusts on final. Decent at about 900/min with throttle about 42% one shouldnt stall anyway with that power. GREAT landing though!!! Very Skillful Pilots!!!

180 knots?!?! Vref on a 747 is usually in the 140's and lower in an A320!

I believe you are talking 737 Vrefs?!?! however I seem to stall below 180 in 747 with full configs on final so as I approach I throttle back upon decent to about 38-42% N1 arming speed brakes to avoid the stall which seems to work flawlessly for me.Thanks for your input though...Always open for learning something new!!!

The 747 at empty weight has a stall speed of ONLY 86 KTS.

watch?v=2EqXNXWxWdk

Watch this video and listen at about 1:38. Pilot mentions Vref is 144 knots.

I know it seems strange because it's sooo big, but it's very aerodynamic :)

i agree with patton 303 this looked like it requires skill to land but i admire all pilots out there and what they do
