That aircraft is much older than the pilot.

Hats off to anyone whose job has the safety of many people in their hands. I would pancake on the runway.

I thought she was flexing with a one handed landing, then I remembered throttles exist

Why do we need music in this?

because it's filmed vertically and then uploaded to a platform of degenerates by a degenerate.

Yeah! I'd say do unmute. There is something therapeutic with the cockpit sounds!

Hey if you like the music I won't judge, but just putting it out there that audio in this clip adds nothing so no reason to unmute.

I think its the top window that gives it away in this case, you can see the corner of it above her head.

As a pilot I can say that landing from anywhere other than the cockpit is not advised

I'm going to start scrolling through the comments and see how far down I have to go to find a creepy joke about "her cockpit".

They tried with the pilots hanging on the outside, screaming verbal commands to a trained monkey, but it did poorly in customer feedback.

Why is there so much play in that steering wheel? It looks like a 1950s movie with Cary Grant driving a prop car.

5 years ago | Likes 965 Dislikes 9

It's also clearly not attached to anything, proven by the way she can just push and pull it.

5 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

There's zero "play". Every motion is coupled to the motion of an aileron or elevator surface.

5 years ago | Likes 7 Dislikes 1

Love the comparison as well as the explanation we got.

5 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 0

The yoke doesn't steer, it controls the roll, her feet are controlling yaw (steering).

5 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

The slower the plane flies the less effective the flight controls become and more deflection is needed.

5 years ago | Likes 116 Dislikes 0

that's not play.

5 years ago | Likes 17 Dislikes 0

there's likely little play. it's got cables wrapped around a drum on the yoke and on the control surface. it just requires lots of movement

5 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

at low speeds to move the massive (older) aircraft. new airbus's and such have a little usb joystick and computerized hydraulic system.

5 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

If you make it more sensitive you will over control the shit out of it at high speed

5 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

In addition to the low speeds that others have mentioned, wind also influences the flight.

5 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

That's what the pilot thought as they pancaked into the runway

5 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 1

I assume its similar to a car with variable steering, on the highway steering wheel is stiff, & in inner city the steering wheel loosens

5 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

First, that steering wheel controls the wing flaps, not the wheels. Second, low speed = low drag therefore big turns = small adjustments.

5 years ago | Likes 13 Dislikes 1

ailerons and elevators, but I get the layman approach with calling them flaps. Flappy flaps.

5 years ago | Likes 5 Dislikes 0

Flap is a technical term. Ailerons, flaps, elevators, rudders, and several other flight control surfaces are all unique. -former jet mech.

It's not play - the yoke doesn't require much force to move at low speeds (or when it's fly by wire)

5 years ago | Likes 8 Dislikes 0

The control system changes how much surfaces move for same yoke input based on conditions to prevent excess loads on airframe. So she (1/2)

5 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 1

can use the full range of the yoke @ any speed without worrying about overloading the aircraft or overcorrecting (2/2)

5 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 1

This allows for better control because the aircraft responds the same to the same input at any speed even though deflections are different.

5 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 1

Think of it as when you ride a bike and you are going super duper slow. You have to steer all over to keep your balance. Same idea with wind

Yoke! Landing speeds are quite low. Low speed means less airflow over the control surfaces (elevator, rudder, ailerons) so they're less >

5 years ago | Likes 683 Dislikes 3

Thanks! I was wondering why such big movements were barely moving the plane at all!

Yoke!? This is no yoke, this is very serious business, landing a plane.

Responsive. Low speed you'll need to make big inputs but high speeds its smaller inputs

5 years ago | Likes 557 Dislikes 3

That last line is true for driving cars too, right? Small adj for the hwy speeds, larger corrective movement for slow speeds.
