777-300 Greaser - Smooth!

Thank you for introducing this excellent filmmaker to me!

 

Because the landing gear of the B777 un-tilts more rapidly than that of the A330, its landings always seem less elegant and graceful, but here are two other very nice B777 landings:

(See first landing in the series.)

Nice video !

I like how long the nose gear stays airborne even after reversers and spoilers have been deployed.

That's to prevent slamming first class into the deck! The NG can really thump in on deplyment of reversers and spoilers, that's why I try to gently hold off the NG to get a more pleasant touch down in the front. A friend of mine on the 744 flew with a new FO who made a nice touchdown on the mains, his quote was then, 'nicely done, now all you need to do is land First Class'.

 

Never a truer word spoken in jest!

Some FSX aircraft, such as the original Airbus X, really like slamming to the ground after touchdown. The PMDG B747 also requires full elevator deflections in order to lower its nose down smoothly.

Gents, got a quick question, am going to treat myself to a pilotseye/world air routes dvd, which one is the best for the 777 i.e systems etc??

 

Cheers
