We've seen this guy landing a few times here at MIA. Hope to see it soon again.
I was watching this video the other day on the blancolirio channel and Juan Browne kept saying, Flare, Flare, flare... This crew is lucky they didn't damage the aircraft more seriously. Someone was not paying attention to their situational awareness.
Ouch!! That hurt! I wonder if it was one of those 1,500-hour pilots...ð
It was Europe so likely the pilot had less than 1500.
Appears to not stop the high sink rate before touchdown. High sink rates without a corrective measure like adding power or some more flare if you have enough left not to get a tail strike will always correct a high sink landing. 747"s land very well, so it's hard to screw one up, but this poor guy did. Expect the F/O was flying and the Captain couldn't catch it in time. He probably commanded the go around to keep things from getting worse. Shit happens.
Ha ha! Probably the F/O? As the Russian sub XO said in The Hunt for Red October " you arrogant prick"!
