A380 Lands at KLAX

[Huck]

Had to have been a reverser. #2 failed to come out, probably. No reversers on 1 and 4 because they will hang out over grass in some airports.

He probably got a little anxious to slow down. A heavy on 24R at LAX is not for the squeamish.

No, it looks like he misjudged his rudder input.

All this from a Brassilia driver Thanks Maverick

you land it then, ace

Exactly what I was thinking......

I don't know about the A380, but a friend of mine flew (just retired) the A319 for Frontier and he says that airbus's side stick input wasn't optimzed very well in his opinion; he says you make a stick input and half second later the plane reacts to it.

Yeah, that's what happens when you fly a big airplane.

the guy who started this thread would most likely ask for a ride from someone, sit in the jumpseat and critique the landing after they shut down.....what a buthole.......

 

[Huck]

Naaaah.... making the first A380 landing in the states is a major step-out. You go big like this, it better be perfect. And it was not. This ain't a line crew, this is a test pilot.

Was a pretty lousy landing. Must not have done much training with this guy. Wasn't it a Lufhansa crew?

They missed the first high speed. What a piece of crap

all this shows is that euro pilots need to learn a thing or two from us americans! i'm sure the plane is fine, just needs a man flying it, not some euro trash!!

It weren't Lufthansa - they went to JFK. It may have been Quantas.....
