That was ugly. The pitch attitude after the bounce was nasty.

I watched the part when the main gear touches down several times. Knowing how big the plane is it's hard to fathom how much force the landing gear is having to bear, especially on a hard landing like that.

So why wouldn't the pilot have slammed in in to full reverse thrust to just plant the plane?
Trying to take off again seems more risky to me (who knows f all about aviation procedure) |

Arm chair quarterbacking, I know: Seems like he made the first landing ok though rough. With that said, I get the 'when in doubt, go around' concept. Done it many times.

My most recent trip, I was half-asleep on the first leg's landing, and the pilot planted it so hard on the runway that I wrenched a muscle in my back.
 Exiting the plane, I told the pilot that he was supposed to announce "BRACE! BRACE! BRACE!" before an impact like that. Fortunately, it was just a muscle pull, not something worse, so after a week of agony it cleared up. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By iggy1337: So why wouldn't the pilot have slammed in in to full reverse thrust to just plant the plane? Trying to take off again seems more risky to me (who knows f all about aviation procedure) Landing in this attitude with a bounce like this, attempting to correct the attitude of the airplane, you are behind the airplane far enough that corrective inputs tend to exaggerate it instead of make it better. In a small airplane, this typical results in two more bounces, each worse than the last, with the nose gear folding up on the third one. I have bounced exactly one landing. After the first bounce and attempt to correct, I bounced nose wheel first (there was #2) and then I realized I was driving the bounce, stopped trying to fix it, and just froze the elevator with the airplane in enough of a nose-up attitude to land mains first, and let the airplane quit flying and settled on the runway. You can get away with that in a small airplane, probably not a bigger one. TOGA was exactly the right move. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By iggy1337: So why wouldn't the pilot have slammed in in to full reverse thrust to just plant the plane? Trying to take off again seems more risky to me (who knows f all about aviation procedure) When a plane starts porpoising like that, it’s easy to break the Nose-wheel. (Which is bad). Also, the Spoilers may not deploy, and you can’t “Slam it into reverse” because reverse is Locked Out. So, you’d end up maybe swerving off the runway. Big planes have a lot of inertia. It’s hard to describe what it’s like, but picture driving a big truck, on Ice. If things start going badly, you can’t just “Slam” anything. You have to use finesse. |
