Boeing 777 rejected take off (RTO)

For certification purposes, Boeing 777 made this test to show that it can stop safely at maximum thrust, by the end of the runway, taxi for 5 minutes (the time needed for the firetrucks to reach the plane) and not catch fire from the great heat produced from the disk brakes. Very educative, enjoy.

Boeing landing cross winds tests

Boeing planes test phase landing in severe cross winds. Simply unbelievable....Landing in severe cross winds Boeing 747 737 777 767. This is filmed in Brazil due to the very high cross winds present in the area. These are part of the mandatory certification tests with the Boeing test pilots.

Boeing 747 crosswind in Hong Kong

This is one of the most fantastic videos you can find. Filmed from the checkerboard used for the approach into Kai Tak. Overshoots and then lines it up just to get caught in the wind...again. Just a slight picture of how hard this approach is, and the mandatory 50 landings of the first officer to get the approval of a captain for landing in Kai Tak.

Boeing 767-300 having a hard landing


A Boeing 767-300 is having a hard landing at Manchester - (EGCC / MAN) Ringway/Manchester Intl Airport.

The Boeing obviously was coming in for a tight approach, 
a little bit fast, but the runway is long,so the pilot didn't even have 
to use the thrust reversers.Nice video, not as smooth as almost 
every landing, but not bad at all. Notice the Air traffic control 
conversation after the landing.
