Various Aircraft At Manchester Airport

:P lol its called thrust reverse it helps slow the plane down

Someone explain to me why the engine goes back like that? is it like a break or something and how do they work :S

Are the tyers supposte to smoke like that? :S

Hehe, its funny because in this video, XL is still around. Great video. :)

cheers for that info see you they one day

Yes! You can either walk around the 05/R approach lights or go under the tunnel by following the footpath!

good vid not been to the other side of the airport yet is it easy by foot

Thanks!
It was filmed at 05/R, but it's hard to find!
I have left directions on the video somewere!

awesome vid! love Manchester Airport! whereabouts are you filming?

The Emirates flight crew received a late landing clearance because of the previous landing aircraft had not vacated the runway!

If your theory is correct then the Emirates crew would only be lowing the gear down on the very last 1 mile or so!

Thanks Cliff, I appreciate your comment! Andrew

PlaneAU, you are talking through your bumhole.
"...planes are only allowed to pull their undercarriage down once (they're) cleared to land..." BORROX!

Aircraft can be 10+ miles out with gear down but only get landing clearance at as little as 1 mile or LESS! You are some expert, eh?


Andrew, that was a very well made set of clips, nicely captured. Good work.

Cliff.

well done you will be posted a medal.

why are you adding atc voicces that werent really there. I can tell its fake because planes are only allowed to pull their unercarriage down once their cleared to land, and once they are cleared to land there is nothing left to say untill it has touched down exept if they tell it to go around.

Thanks!
