Oh Delta XII

Flare... back wheels... Tap it forward... front wheels... fly the nose down...

The A300 is more like an “all main wheels at once clunk”.



I’ve always marveled at the A330 landings. Everyone seems to look like a greaser with the back mains just rolling on and then the front mains.

Flare, stall horn, sinking feeling in stomach, nose wheel first so I can see where it’s going,wife’s scream lower the tail, lock up the brakes, first taxiway. Boom son.

Sounds like my landings in SNA or BUR

He operates the Fake Bus, bro, ain't no tap tap tappin' it in with that French hunk of •.

Reading about the A320 then getting type rated and actually having to fly it feels like getting catfished.

You guys have the São Paulo syndrome.

The Airbus flies great for paychecks that don’t bounce every 2 weeks, unlike your landings.

True, I don't miss the fact that a 40 million dollar airplane doesn't have a usable cupholder.

The front mains are a bit of voodoo and could ruin a good touchdown if you slapped them down. Other than that, yep! It was full on making 3 landings every time you landed for each set of wheels

Pilot pro tip: Brake to make the first turn off and you can pretend a hard landing was on purpose.

Infamous person at Cheap Ass Air who did that... no longer works at Cheap Ass Air. *



*not because of that A320 STOLanding, but had his letter of termination ready to go for years in the CP’s desk. It’s a funny ass story on the scenario surrounding his termination.

I’m not aware if he was. I’ll say this much: He has an accent.

Ok Jerry. #anothergreaser

The ERJ was insane, 135/145/Legacy all loved to kamikaze that nosewheel if you didn't yank it back on touchdown.

That’s for sure, but I’ve noticed the 135 is worse than the 145, at a certain speed rolling out one loses elevator authority and the nose just drops. The 145 has authority longer, I’m guessing the moment from the extra length?

Even if parking is at the end of the 12,000' runway you just left a divot in.
