Video: B767 Makes Hard Landing
This is what happens when a Boeing 767 encounters severe turbulence while landing, probably lots of wind shear. (www.wimp.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
great angle of the video too! Almost looks like it's hovering there before touchdown, until you can see the runway
Was about to post this video here:) IMO pilot flying needs to get in a c150 on those good cross wind days and practice a few landings before destroying a 767! Too much left/right rudder movement before touchdown.....
Well, he didn't destroy it but that is more a testament to the strength of the 767 and the rubber than his flying. As far as the excess rudder movement, nervous as hell is probably a good descriptive statement. I'm kinda like Tim here below; How come that wing wasn't down and just set it instead of all that wiggling. Of course we'll talk big but we weren't there. That said, we have been there/done that in some form or fashion so we can talk.
I saw this video somewhere else today and my first thought was "wonder what Wayne would say about THAT landing?"!
Pretty much what I thought you'd say. Thing took a beating! One of my clients builds landing gears (not sure if it's these or not), wanna show this to my guy there too!

You are very experienced, do you think those tires need to be replaced ?
Technically, after a landing like that, gear and tires may both need an inspection. There are sensors that read inside to show the forces sustained and depending on what they were, they may be FAA required to inspect before another flight. Even if they were within limits, I'd probably want them replaced but you have to understand that the pilot would not see that video after a landing and turnaround and if they showed OK on the panel, he would go with them. As they flexed back, it is doubtful that anything serious would show on a walkaround.
Looks like it bottomed out the gear pretty hard. Just a hunch, but I'm guessing it's o/h time on that set.
Thanks Preacher!
