What I love most about 3minav is no commentary.

[modecharlie]

That gear up landing was smoother than some gear down landings.

[starguy]

The view of the landing, through the HUD, was way cool!

[PhotonBread]

Mad props to the King Air pilots. Masterful landing considering the circumstances

[nurrizadjatmiko]

Just 4 clips in this 3 minutes aviation video ? Not bad👍. I think the King Air pilots did a pretty good job of doing a belly landing

Non-pilot aviation enthusiast here. At 1:35 Why not land in the grass? Seems like it would be less damaging to the aircraft, and less likely that a spark would cause a fire.

22 landings at Nice are tricky (and not too common either), you only get visual with the runway about 2 miles out due to the turn onto final being late to avoid the terrain. A lot happening on that approach,

I've done the NCE approach onto 22 a few times now and I have had two go arounds. First Time was due to a tailwind on the base leg of 48kts and we thought we made the turn early but it wasn't early enough and the speed would just not drop back. Second time we have the sun blaring in our faces and we couldn't see the PAPI's and by the time we did we have 4 whites at 300 feet. Takes very careful management and planning in any sort of obscure weather conditions

A380 pilot: Anybody hear the callout for minimums yet? 😁

[alanploetz]

The King Air belly landing looked well controlled as did the pilots from the in cabin view. Very good.

I like how the voice calling height anticipates so that the moment it's finished saying the word (the the human brain perceives it with like, a 0.1s delay) it's ACTUALLY AT THAT HEIGHT. Very clever.

What a stunning view of the A380 landing in Nice !! Spotters paradise ❤❤

[AztecAmal]

for some reason that emirates A380 looks so badass

[stevenmarsden]

Fuel leak or fuel dump? That appears to be a massive amount of fuel trailing the wing

[dzerres]

I like these short and sweet videos. They don't waste my time. thanks

[Kalikus]

I love that Airbus added a feature that calls the pilot a 're****' right before landing.

(Yes, I know its referring to the flare sequence.)

[MarkSwann-im]

A380 pilot: Nice is a highly technical approach since pilots are not allowed to overfly local towns. The approach route means wings level is seconds before the actual touchdown. Really hard to judge in a super jumbo like A380. Go arounds are not uncommon even in smaller passenger jets depending on wind direction.

[connieembury]

Love the views from the pilots perspective

[fredteifeld]

I always wondered about how the Airbus HUDs' looked in operation. So cool!

Nice Cote d'Azur Airport is one of the best flights; half the enjoyment of the trip is the landing and take-off.
Love it.
