Невероятные Посадки Самолётов Снятые На Камеру

Hello The landing weight of the Boeing 747 exceeds 260 tons More than four times heavier than the mass of the most powerful tank of the US Army the Abrams Now imagine that something went wrong during the plane's landing For example two airliners are approaching each other in the air or on the ground or a wing tilt occurs during landing Fortunately the respect that commercial airline pilots enjoy is well-deserved We will show cases of the most dangerous passenger plane landings When the skill and unwavering composure of the pilots saved hundreds of lives In August 2001 an Airbus A300 flew across the ocean from Toronto to Lisbon The plane has a wingspan of more than 44 meters and a maximum landing weight of over 130 tons It was necessary to cover a vast distance of about 5700 kilometers So the plane was refueled with extra But already on the fifth hour of the flight the engines suddenly stopped The cause was a failure in the fuel supply system In fact most of the tank had simply spilled into the ocean Imagine the pilots noticed that the amount of fuel indicated by the instruments was much less than expected It was too late to turn back The plane was flying over the Atlantic with 217 kilometers to the nearest landmass And that's not a continent but the tiny Azores islands in the middle of the ocean Of course the pilots turned towards them but when the fuel ran out there were still 120 kilometers to go The engines stopped Pilots had only one option left: to balance on air currents to make the plane glide like a kite Amazingly they managed to make it to the shore this way Do you think this is the end of the story Far from it The engines were not working and it was impossible to reduce the accumulated speed The plane was in for a very hard landing But the pilots managed to calculate the touch-down moment so precisely that most of the load was transferred to the landing gear In the end the wheels were torn to shreds but no passenger was injured and the plane remained intact They even managed to save two wheels But the pilots of that plane at least had a landing gear unlike the case that occurred in November 2011 Then a Polish airline LOT Boeing 767 was flying from New York to Warsaw There were no fuel problems However there were difficulties with the hydraulic system Due to the malfunction not a single landing gear could be released What would you do in the crew's place Answer in the comments But the pilots decided to land the huge plane with more than two hundred passengers on its belly Of course there is one big problem with that Even if the speed could be reduced to the point of touching the ground Friction between a heavy aircraft and asphalt can cause anything The plane could have simply fallen apart while in flight To prevent that the pilots circled over Warsaw for about an hour It was necessary to lighten the plane as much as possible and burn as much fuel as possible The pilots' experience did not fail them They managed to level the plane so that none of the engines touched the ground It's like charging in Thread the needle with a thread But none of the 231 passengers were injured Sometimes problems occur not with the plane itself but with the airport Their staff has to monitor dozens even hundreds of airliners at the same time And do not allow their routes to cross Sometimes the system gives a warning And in one point two huge airplanes meet It is exactly what happened in the summer of 2014 when the Barcelona airport was attacked A Boeing 767 was just starting its descent having flown from Moscow It was descending and had already deployed its landing gear Seconds remained until impact with the ground And suddenly another plane began moving right down his runway It was an Airbus A340 heading straight across Boeing almost landed right on top of him The feature of passenger aircraft is that the view under the nose of the plane is The view is limited because the pilot's cabin windows are too high Thus pilots can clearly see what is in front of and above them But they don't see what is right under the flying machine's nose Therefore it can be said that the pilots of the Russian aircraft Only by a miracle did they spot the Airbus at the very last moment and immediately directed their plane upwards Amazingly they managed to climb high enough To avoid even touching the second aircraft with the landing gear Probably Olympic champions don't have the same quick reflexes as the pilots of that Boeing 767 It can be seen on the recording that another plane was approaching for landing behind him What do you think is it because of the increased number of flights Will traffic jams similar to those in major cities' roads soon start occurring in airports Share your opinion in the comments Sometimes even a huge airplane can be brought down by the most ordinary geese It sounds incredible Maybe so but that's exactly what happened during an internal flight in the US between New York and Seattle A flock of wild geese flew straight towards the plane just after takeoff Usually birds tend to stay away from the noisy large-winged giants But this time it seemed the birds didn't want to give way to anyone It was like a head-on attack Most of the geese managed to fly past the plane's fuselage but several birds got sucked into the engines Imagine yourself in the position of the passengers who were sitting by the windows next to the engines You are enjoying the view of New York Suddenly you notice that the huge turbine is turning into a fiery ball Since both engines had failed it was physically impossible to keep the plane airborne at low altitude Pilots needed to land the plane somehow but there was no free road in the densely populated metropolis For an extreme landing of a huge Airbus A320 Then the crew made the only correct but very dangerous decision – Land directly on the Hudson River Have you ever jumped into the water from a diving board If so you know that the higher the height the stronger the impact on the water due to its surface tension So jumping belly-first is not possible The plane could only ditch on its belly To prevent the force of the impact from destroying the Airbus fuselage the pilots had to not only reduce their speed But also calculate the moment of contact with water with exquisite precision If one of the wings had dipped into the water too early it would have simply been torn off The pilots managed to land as they had planned Of course the wave from the plane's impact with the water It was possible to cover a medium-sized boat but none of the 150 passengers were injured The airplane's fuselage remained intact and the heavy-winged aircraft floated calmly on the water The aircraft was still on fire when the rescue ship approached The water landing is a dangerous maneuver But at least the pilots could see where they were descending Now imagine a huge airliner landing blind No there is no need to introduce instead we will tell you about such a case During a flight between Istanbul and Rijan A hotel located on Kyber has experienced a remarkable incident A powerful unexpected thunderstorm front covered the region and the plane piloted by a crew from Ukraine He found himself in the eye of the storm Aircraft are designed in such a way that even a lightning strike They could not have caused them significant harm Another matter is hail Powerful pieces of ice simply smashed the airplanes It especially hit the nose Hail did not penetrate the hull but all the cockpit windows were covered with cracks Visibility had dropped to almost zero Only a tiny porthole remained intact Eventually the pilot decided to return to Istanbul where thanks to years of experience and knowledge of the area He managed to land the plane almost blindfolded 121 passengers and all crew members remained unharmed The pilot received a standing ovation from the entire airport platform The lack of windows can complicate the plane's landing Agree a detached roof can also become a problem Yes you understood correctly The airliner was flying without a roof The incident occurred during a flight between the Hawaiian cities of Hilo and Honolulu A sudden decompression occurred at an altitude of 7300 meters due to which the section of the roof above the first six rows of passengers was simply blown off The plane was flying at a speed of 530 kilometers per hour Passengers seemed to have been caught in the eye of the storm In addition to the strong wind they also suffered from the cold The temperature drops to minus 45 degrees Celsius at such an altitude But that's not all Probably due to the overload the left engine also failed But the pilots did not panic They began an immediate descent and managed to land the plane just 11 minutes after the incident And that was one engine Thanks to the short flight and the passengers not having time to unfasten their seatbelts none of them were injured Flight attendants were also lucky When the roof came off the first six rows they were far enough away And so they remained unharmed Get ready for a real shock in the next story Everything that happened in 1989 was surprisingly literal A Boeing took off from Montreal and everything was normal at first But when the plane had been in the air for some time Some devices showed a fuel shortage while others indicated an adequate amount of fuel A harmless failure Unfortunately no It was only the beginning After some time the right one went out Then the left engine as well But that was not all Almost the entire electrical system also stopped working Some devices were still functioning due to the emergency turbine The plane with non-functioning engines was at a great altitude Over the region where there were no active airfields at all It seemed like the situation could not get any worse But however surprising it may seem the crew was ready for her How The whole thing was because of at the chief pilot had experience flying gliders so he was able to level the plane even with the engines off But also almost without a dashboard And luck didn't end there The second pilot as it turned out He previously served in the air force He knew there was a deserted military airfield nearby Where they are currently organizing car races The plane was sent there He wouldn't have made it to the regular airport But the speed and altitude were too great and then the pilot for the first time in history He performed it on a passenger aircraft — a spread of the wing — a maneuver for slowing down the glider The plane was turned sideways into the oncoming wind Indeed gliders that perform this tric Much lighter with different wing shapes but fortunately Boeing withstood such extreme loads The plane landed on the runway right during a car race Imagine the public's surprise No passengers spectators or race participants were injured although the plane was stopped literally at the last moment 30 meters from the stands What extreme landing incident impressed you the most Answer in the comments like and subscribe to our channel
