A380 avoids a tankslapper

[Countdown]

Some pretty nifty handling by the pilots!

Yes, I should think the dry cleaners of Dusselldorf did good business that day.

That's what happens when you go too fast in a three wheeler. Hooligan....

[Yipper]

That's some of the worst flying in the history of civil aviation. Did they let a trolley dolly land it. Massively overcorrected the landing.

Driver looked a bit pissed to me...

As a driver of (admittedly rather smaller) jets I'd say quite the opposite, an entirely self induced mess. The magnitude of the rudder inputs in the last 100ft surprise me, unless it's Airbus control laws doing their own thing but I doubt that.

I'd imagine that was exciting if you were sitting towards the rear.

Pretty exciting from the front. And the control tower. And the taxiway....

Emirates pilots certainly do thump the 380's down. I fly them, probably, 20 times a year and am yet to experience a smooth one!

He's stamping on that rudder

[kurt535]

Fabulous its not just me who stuffs the odd one every now and then - albeit my baby is a tad smaller

[mike74]

Sooner we get rid of commercial pilots and leave planes to do their own thing the better.

[carreauchompeur]

Wow, that must have been scary on board. Huge lateral movement!

Emirates' curt reply suggests a possible interview without coffee for the pilot.

This^^ the rudder input at 21 to 24 sec looks WAY too large and sustained?

Is that Michael Flatley at the controls?

I'm no pilot, but it looks like the aircraft can be used again, so doesn't that come in the "Great Landing" category?
