AMAZING FLIGHT CONTROLS AT WORK 💪🏻

Показать описание
We’ve talked about how the Flight Control Surfaces all play their part on approach, especially in gusty conditions just like this!

NOTE: The camera stabiliser makes this approach/landing look a lot smoother but trust me, this was a bumpy approach and hard landing!

Check-out how all the Flight Control Surfaces work together: Speed brakes and both High and Low speed Ailerons. On approach the Speed Brakes (the smaller ‘boards’ along the wing) help with controlling speed and stabilise the wing. This is SO evident in the video, almost to the point that it looks ramped-up!

Once the wheels are on the Ground, the Spoilers (armed by the Pilots and activated by WOW sensors) are then fully deployed and become Ground (or Dump) Spoilers, creating huge amounts of Aero Breaking and bringing this Big Jet to a stop 🛑

This is such a cool example of all those things at work 💪🏻

Filmed by GP on American 137

Crazy watching all of the control surfaces move like that. Even the ground spoilers moving.

Thanks for that terrific teaching moment, Jerry, which was topped only by Gilly's filming. FTW. Noticed also that you once again flew over Cape Dyer in Canada's North. Onward!

Landed there from New Yawk in 1981. IIRC A DC-10 coming and a 747 leaving. My first and only plane rides. Loved every second of the flights! A total of 10 hours looking out the window and listening to the cockpit on the headphones.

That's a good, safe landing. Nothing "wild".

How do you keep the camera so still? My landing videos are always so jumpy…

That MIGHT have produced an "Oohhh" from Jerry but nothing much more than that. Looked a teeny weeny bit of a floaty landing, but it was smooth by looks 👍🏼👍🏼 Enjoy your time
