Epic grass runway landing | Airplanes landing on unpaved runway

Can airliners or cargo planes land on a grass runway or an upaved runway? It is certainly a very difficult maneuver but not impossible as can be seen from these movies..

In this video we have:
- Ilyushin IL 62 landing on a grass runway (1989);
- Ilyushin IL 76 landing on a grass runway;
- Lockheed C 130 grass runway landing test;
- Boeing 737-100 grass runway landing demonstration: the Boeing 737 landing at CYHE - Hope Regional Airpark in British Columbia. This is a test flight video filmed in September 1972 by Boeing to showcase the new 737 and its capabilities;

The plane in the first video is now a museum in Germany, as a monument for Otto Lilienthal. I visited it lately and it was pretty cool!

For all those uninformed, the IL 62 landed on a 900m grass strip on purpose to become a museum of sorts celebrating Otto Lilienthals glider experiments. He died there.

I've been a passenger on a 727 landing on a gravel runway at the Catoca Diamond Mine in Northern Angola. Watching it take off again was quite spectacular!

[jeromewagschal]

I like how that passenger jet landed on that bumpy uneven grass and bumped a few times as if it was a small Cessna...
They used to do things a certain way in East Germany...

[pstrzel]

A young field mouse be like, this is a nice field, I wonder why nobody lives here.

Co pilot: Dare you to land on the grass... Pilot: "hold my beer"

Herc's were MADE to land on on ice, grass, dirt, AND asphalt or concrete (or any combination of that) runways! For such a huge aircraft, it's hard to think of slowing them down on a short strip, but they can and do! Magic! I love watching them land! Same with the C-5 and C-17 transports. Superb aircraft! The Hurk" has been flying for over 64 years now. It can carry troops, up to 22 tons of supplies (about 16 cars worth). It was originally designed as a troop, medevac, and cargo transport aircraft. The versatile airframe has found uses in a variety of other roles, including as a gunship (AC-130), for airborne assault, search and rescue, scientific research support, weather reconnaissance, aerial refueling, maritime patrol, and aerial firefighting. It is now the main tactical airlifter for many military forces worldwide. It flies in over 60 countries, just a magnificent aircraft!

This plane is still there as a museum. I believe that it is one of only two Interflug Il-62’s still in existence. I’ve never been but for any diehard historian of the Cold War period it’s a great destination.

I've been in a hercules and landed on a few dirt tracks / desert etc in my time in the British Forces, got woken up by all the bouncing about, good fun !

The first landing is how I land in simulatores

[sonnyburnett]

Those B-737’s had a bleed air probe under each engine that would blow out compressed air that hopefully kept FOD away from the engines. The Canadians had reason to use them but not too many other operators. It was quite an engine thrust penalty to use on takeoff. What an incredible airplane it turned out to be. I always called it the DC-3 of the Jet age. Probably a lot of other people did also.

01:50 - Gotta love Ukrainians. *Concrete is for sissies. Let's land on the grass next to the runway.*

[sdlcman]

If I recall the backstory correctly, that IL-62M passenger jet was being flown into retirement, having been donated to the town for use as a museum. They found a Russian pilot brave enough to fly it in. There was simply no other reasonable alternative for delivering the plane.

[MaxCruise]

Second landing was beautiful to watch. Great piloting.

737-200’s still operate in the north with gravel kits installed

[bobbygreenwald]

I saw a Cessna land on a golf course . Took out the windmill and the clowns mouth. But did make a hole in one. Fine day that was.

[poly_hexamethyl]

0:35 Yikes! I bet the poor engines just loved ingesting all that grit...

[paulvanobberghen]

The military planes shown are built to operate from unpaved runways, so nothing exceptionnal. The IL62 is not but, but it was only 1 landing and no take-off. The 737-200 is here equiped with the gravel-kit, seen on the front wheels, with jet deflectors in front of both engines. Several of these are still operating today, as there has never been such a kit for the subsequent versions of the 737.

[kruzn]

The C-130 Hercules was built to land on un-improved runways. The many countries that use this airplane do it all the time.

0:48 "king of the castle! Very nice, pass the Stoli"
