Hey Swiss just for information, on my company manuals, it says that config 3 landing on a 321 is not recommended because increases the tailstrike chances 😅 if you think about it it, makes sense, the speed difference between config 3 and FULL is only a couple of knots, but the lift difference is grater so to produce the same amount of lift, the angle of attack and pitch has to encreas thus increasing the tailstrike risk. We usually use Config 3 for fuel-saving, go around performance and in case of expected turbulence/windshaer on approach. If we need to use config 3 on an a321 is recommended to use as VAPP= Vls+10 to help tailstrike avoidance, another indication that normal Flap 3 is not the best choice for this aircraft.

Airbus designed the flaps diffrently on the a321 for this reason. A320 has a single cowl flap system so it is only one piece going down from wing and not multiple like in boeing and airbus used it as the plane didnt need all the lift from a multi cowl system and landed just fine. but on the a321 they needed to find a way to make the plane be able to pitch less without needing to change the landing speed significantly so they added another cowl in the inboard flaps this made the plane acchieve more lift so to get same amount of lift on a normal landing you wouldnt have to pitch the plane as much reducing the risk for tailstrike. What swiss did is that he landed at almost stall speed ofcourse making the plane needing to use more pitch and being way to fast with the flaps 3 landing.

As a guy who's been flying for 26 years and now an A321 CA.. I can tell you that any competent pilot who actually understands aerodynamics should never come close to striking the tail on this plane. Also, flaps three is going to require more nose up on the approach.. aerodynamics 101.. You over flared on your landing, that was your problem.

That A320 landing was actually really very good.

Merry Christmas Swiss and keep doing videos and I can't wait when you will reach subscribes!

The A321 requires much more careful management of the attitude, on take off you are expected to lift the nose gear of the ground, get airborne, and only then increase the angle to the 13-17 degrees for the climb out(there is a specific way it’s called but I forgot the term I heard a pilot refer to it before), you basically treat it as a small wide body, in terms of handling, flaring on landing just comes with practice, you flare less than with the A320 obviously, you can still butterize any landing be it A318-A321, they are all really nice things to fly.

Plane: Terrain Terrain
Swiss: Shut up plane ☺
5:23

2:52 That "And Were Gonna Die!" sound so god lol

[Masterdude]

3:02 I make jokes about that all the time I love that the plane says that🤣🤣😂

[PhilippineAviation]

5:23 is the legendary part of this bideo

[butter_playzyt]

3:30 no it was not a tail strike. you just landed a bit harder than usual! there is a small yet semi-visible area between the tail and the runway!

[ptfsaddict]

I was on an a321 flight and it was very hard, twice as harder than ryanair.

[lonewolf]

3:50 was this guy really flying. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[warbirdwwwarbirdww]

I flew on a a321 from East Midlands to Zakinthos on Thomas cook and it was a nice flight and a bit of a butter landing

[RAVIOLIdS]

im happy how u showed the fslabs a321 cockpit :D

[gabecas]

I know someone who flew the a321, now I know why he doesn't bring up the a321, but the a320 more often

Me: Just chilling, watching some youtube
Swiss001: *NOW WELLCCOME BACK EVERYBODY*

Ryanair's dream: tail strike like asiana 214

[TomasNoName]

Why Boeing is better than Airbus: Airbus yells at you, Boeing keeps it’s mouth shut. 🤐

I experienced a Turkish Airlines A321 tail strike and the whole cabin was pushed into the air with the seatbelts keeping us down.
