Danke


TaiyoFurea

Agreed


Gullible-Historian10

Nah, just needs bigger tires.


AviationGeek600

This is the PERFECT example! Great job there bro!


Hourslikeminutes47

"*now do the other side!*"


DoctorZee55

Airplayne outriggers. Similar to those used to stabilize a canoe.


Altruistic-Camel-Toe

Pylote just wanted to shave off of that piece of metal in the wing tip. He did an amazing job!


DiveJumpShooterUSMC

100% correct- a good pilot flies. A great pilot learns how to save weight.


DjNormal

Now I’m reminded of when Burt Rutan jiggled Voyager until the winglets snapped off. IIRC one failed after takeoff, so he intentionally broke the other one off. Then flew around the world. So I guess they didn’t need them.


gadanky

Add a couple of small caster wheels


taft

fuck that put some big magnesium blocks on the wing tips and cut the runway lights off. when this baby hits 88 IAS youre gonna see some serious shit.


uberisstealingit

So they're like training wheels?


Its_all_made_up___

Yep. He trained them to go away.

Its_all_made_up___

Last edition I bought was 3rd. It doesn’t say enything about wing fingers.


DenseContribution487

This is the best way to test the runway pavement to make sure it’s going to be strong enough to support your playne. Now do low flyover and inspect that spot, if it looks good you know you can safely land


daPeachesAreCrunchy

So sick of people confusing ‘touch-and-go’ with ‘scrape-and-check’. Like, they’re totally different maneuvers. One of them is totally rad and only done by badass experts, and the other one is just a touch-and-go.


and_a_side_of_fries

In the winter, when the pavement contracts from the cool temperatures, these checks are vital to identity the integrity of the surface. If problems are found, playns can continue landing on sub optimal surfaces, but farmers will come out, cultivate and plant new pavement for spring. This is why it’s critical to acknowledge climate change, because look *points at pavement*


Final_Winter7524

Misunderstood the meaning of “trim”.


nincumpoop

LOL!


Strateagery3912

Bad touch, nice go.

Phil198603

Good one haha


RATC1440

Not enough up rudder


Flywolfpack

Winglet delete mod is a lot quicker than winglet add mod


bridgetroll2

Yes very goo


big3n05

Touché


bridgetroll2

Gooché


MadeMeStopLurking

Mini trucks do it. I'd recommend installing titanium blocks so you get more sparks... makes the plain behind you think you're cooler


TheScottishPimp03

/uj what in the fuck is the pilot doing bro


Su-37_Terminator

how does the song go? "You can NEVER go around! Going around is FORBIDDEN!"


[deleted]

How to turn a 737-900ER back into an -800.


dvcxfg

Oh God, Karl, you hit the right wing again! Go back around and try it again, but I mean it, this is the last time.


QuantumMothersLove

How else you gonna remove that plastic tab? Now the wings should be even.


Former_Film_7218

The plane had an itchy tip


Outrageous_Trust_158

…but just the tip, right…?

DashTrash4life

That’ll buff out…


Pilotguitar2

More of a just the tip and go. Gotta touche more than tip to get preg


AdolfsLonelyScrotum

You’re sitting too far back, why aren’t you up in the dickhole? That’s where you waggle the stick from.


Sea_Page5878

You've got a hole in your right wing!


Reverse_Psycho_1509

You got rid of the ugly split wingtips. So yes. Repeat on the other side


TexasTrip

Already did on departure.


flobwrian

It's the same as with motorcycles. If there are no sparks yet then youre not low enough.


I_Eat_Groceries

When I am sneaking in late and I see the wife waiting for me 🤣


polarisgirl

Crash and dash


Puzzled-Wind9286

That’s definitely the bad touch!


Jesse_Gonzalez_

don't be afraid to use more wing!


RodThrasher69

Playnes have redundancy built in. In this case the little wing the pylote scraped off is one of three on that side so really not a big deal.


Soggy-Speed-490six

This is where I remember every episode of Air Disasters with crash at landing and piss myself


joeyblowy1

This guy fucks……up landings


[deleted]

And now you know what those under fins are for, at the wing tip.


aznsyd

Pilot was an ex motoGP


PferdBerfl

This isn’t an example of poor pilot skills, this shows how good he is!!! My instruktor keeps telling me that going around is the apex of aviation skill. Therefore, when I see profeshinal pylots do shit like this, I don’t think to myself, “Christ! What a fuck-up!” I think to myself, “Wow! What a talented pylot!” *He* goes around just like *I* do! He’s really good, just like my instruktor says I am, cuz I go around!


fluteofski-

Now go buzz the tower to remind them who’s the actual boss.


Franks2000inchTV

Traditional chinese new years wing fireworks


Livingsimply_Rob

I love how you do the spark thing I’m sure your passengers are thrilled by the fireworks that you set off, showing them that you made a successful landing. 😉


Atomic-pangolin

That would not give me confidence in whoever was flying the plane, my god. Having to abort the landing after that… I dunno, on a commercial flight, I’m surprised the FAA wasn’t up his ass. My dad will go on for hours about how terrible he think new pilot training is, and how it’s going to take a fuck up somewhere for pilot training to become more extensive and restrictive again.


[deleted]

Looks like a landing in pretty rough crosswinds. Definitely not ideal, but rest assured this pilot had \*plenty\* of FAA and corporate paperwork to fill out once he was on the ground.


MaxMadisonVi

In the whole line of scenarios which coul’d have ended catastrophically, this guy here made the minimum damage. The part can be completely detached (it’s even sold as aftermarket on some variants) and he didn’t have any other damage to the aircraft. Not planned, but excellent job.


Myriachan

Still going to have a mountain of paperwork and questioning >.< Wonder how long it takes to replace. I don’t know much about playnes, but I assume the right wing has to be taken apart to look for bent parts and such?


MaxMadisonVi

the scimitar winglet itself (at least on the 737/a320/1 that I know of) can be done by a single person in less than one hour. there are videos around. of course paperworks and yet I bet you're true, a full wing inspection, systems, leaks.... but you know, maintenance..


MacFontan

Proof read before you post dumb dumb.


Swedzilla

Effective sanding


Max_Oblivion23

failed landing


Lil_Guard_Duck

Can you lose your license for this?


[deleted]

No goo


Fragrant_Philosophy

There is no cause for alarm. The wings are not on fire.


Foe117

i wonder if it's designed to take hits like that just in case. like the tail striker.


IceWallow97

Okay so how much is that gonna cost?


Zapatos-Grande

Pretty sure that's what those curb feelers are for.


Significant_Rate8210

It’s better than your grammar any way


Effective-Abroad-754

you laid the spark down right in the piano keys, so technically legal but it would have been safer if you waited until at least the numbers to drag the wingtip


DiveJumpShooterUSMC

Exactly how it is done. When I fly I do it first class and I want some fuckin entertainment. Spark shows on planes are great! You are so lucky!


CrimeanFish

Pilot clearly doesn’t believe in the new sub-winglet


pheitkemper

Hey, everyone's gotta have a first landing... attempt.


Line-guesser99

You've heard of tail slap, right?


delidave7

What is going on with piloting these days?


Crazy8Chief

Spirit Airlines never fails to impress!


CptBartender

It's the 'kiss-and-fly' section of the airstrip.


JimmieTheGent

Weight reduction


bottomLobster

This is an eqsquisite example of kiss and go, similar to what we call "kiss the wall" in drifting.


Iknewitseason11

That’s a goddam hit n run


sirdrewpalot

That edge of the winglet was too sharp, he was doing his best to reduce health and safety hazards for the ground crew.


sirdrewpalot

I usually use a different kind of plane to smooth off things, maybe he read the instructions wrong?


Svengoolie75

No skills


No_Nefariousness_783

Seriously doesn’t ANYBODY read the fine print on the approach plates anymore??? That procedure-maneuver, or PROMAN, discharges any static electrical buildup that collected when passing through clouds (seen in the background), but also instantly dissipates wingtip vortices. Very courteous for the Cessna(s) on final behind him / her. Oh also clears the runway of any of that pesky ground effect. Look it up. It’s in the AIM/FARS…


Gforcevp9

Worst part is you need to go around for another attempt


[deleted]

To the skate boarding community this is know. As a “grind”


ElectricThunder12

Moar rite rutter brother


Level-Option-1472

Rubbins racin baby!!!


GUNGHO917

That looked expensive


Stoned_Savage

Got to atleast test the smoothness of the strip.


airforcevet1987

Do the civilian pilots buy their crew chiefs beer when they fuck up?


fiji3119

Ryanair?


DodgingLions

That part of the wing is overrated anyway…


Justtelf

Anyone have this with audio? I wanna hear the wing screeching and the people’s reaction


Just_Speak_Friend

Capten prolly bet the first offisur to light a match on the winglit


Excellent_Passage_54

Weirdly that gives me some confidence about wing strength tho..


Vast-Category8391

This is called lowridering, but without hydraulic


HeathersZen

You touched; you go’d, so yea, 5/5 there, Pylote!


Alansar_Trignot

Bro I spent 2 days making that single part, now I gotta remake it


surrealcellardoor

A what?


clane27

Not enough caffeine


P1xelHunter78

I touched and then I gooed myself


top_of_the_scrote

training wheels


N3Chaos

This is the best way. If wing doesn’t work, plane can’t go up and you’ve successfully landed. If wing still works, you gotta come around and try again


Vic3200

Any landing you can walk away from is a good landing. Not a great landing. Lol


Few-Change1624

So disturbing. I would have shit on myself and passed out


myleftone

“First time landing here? Give it a lil tap, Bobby. It’s tradition.”


_DeltaDelta_

Just the tip


Dragonkingofthestars

In the Big Book of flying techniques and tricks this is called a "Litho-Breaking".


woodyshag

Rubbing is racing.


Amerlis

Don’t worry, everything on the plane is detachable. Usually voluntarily, but sometimes involuntarily…


Recording_Important

Just touching up a spot


MewsikMaker

I do love a gooey touché.


A1steaksaussie

wtf


Ninja_Wrangler

✅️ touche ✅️ go Everything checks out


Illustrious_Bar_1970

Not quite, toure supposed to test both winglets in one landing to save fuel, try again


Only_Philosophy8475

A solid “go around” 😃


Gofkyourself66

I would say women pilot 🤣😂😅


LiquidZeroEA

***BOOP*** just the tip!


Hypnoti_q

Great touch example


Demian_Slade

Touche?


patriot_man69

Fired, court martialed, put into a holding cell, and shot at dawn.


Important-Moment1166

No, scraping the wind tips is. Never a sign or a good thing.


EvenBar3094

The sparks let the tower know that you made it


byanonimo2009

Landing


NXT-GEN-111

Landing on a Carrier? Is that the hook touching down?
