Incredible videos of Tu-154 with control stability problems
Gives me vertigo just watching. Can't imagine trying to fly this thing and keep it in the air. Kudos to the pilot for getting it on the ground in one piece. (www.flightglobal.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Sorprendente!, No puedo ni imaginar que hubieran pasajeros ahí! Los pilotos sí que se lucieron.
For the landing: search YouTube for "посадка ТУ154 RA85563 29.04.2011".
It looks like the nose plopped down kinda hard, but otherwise a really nice landing.

Man, the Russians can fly can't they... That was amazing...
All I can say is God must have been on their side that day to land that plane in one piece.
209flyboy, sorry if I lead you wrong. I said 727ski, by that I meant the Tu 154. The Ruskies tried to copy the 727, but it is hard to get it right when you are using a spy picture to produce plans of an A/C. sorry if I offneded anyone.
Good analysis Gary.
The flight looked like an RC model trainee!

I would be willing to bet that since this aircraft was coming out of maintenance they hooked up the yaw damper backwards. Any natural yaw moment would be amplified and not damped and lead to the large oscilatory behaviour seen on the video. My first reaction would be to turn off the yaw damper. I bet this pilot tried the same and for some reason it didn't work. Awesome recovery to the landing, pity it was blocked by the trees.
