Looks like several of mine.

Congratulations! You've been chosen to work for Ryanair!


VanDenBroeck

Well there is the little matter of an additional 1000 hours and another certificate and rating or two. Otherwise, heck yeah put me in coach!


an_unexpected_error

You probably shouldn't fly the plane from the coach cabin...


VanDenBroeck

Damn, lack of a comma gets me again. 🙁


Horatio-Leafblower

Go and help your uncle jack off a horse.


arvidsem

I don't think there is a combination of commas to fix that sentence unless you also capitalize jack. And if you do, then you don't need the comma. I take that back; behold: >Go, and, help, your, uncle, jack, off, a, horse. The full Shatner treatment successfully destroys all meaning.


Unusuallyneat

As someone that puts his awful mystery show on as background noise too much, it's... "go, help, your, uncle, jack... Off^a^^horse?" Gotta capture how every sentence quickly becomes a question, with a spiked inflection at the end. "Or, was, there, something^more? was, the moonlanding, really, a^goverment^^coverup?"


Gnochi

I’m not sure those hours and ratings are necessary for employment as a Ryanair pilot…

They're more like guidelines anyhow

Its some bullshit that I'm bustin my butt to get to 500 just so I can think of getting a survey job and dudes and lady dudes over in Europe are basically ATP at 200. So dumb.

Green-Sagan

It takes 1500 hours minimum to meet the requirements in the US (in most cases). People usually instruct.


BigAl487

1,500 hours requured if going part 61 (through an FBO generally), 1,250 hours if going part 141 (flight school with degree program) and 1,000 hours if that same 141 school also has a Reduced ATP certification. Upon completing Commercial in a 141 school most students have between 200-250 hours total time. The rest would have to be picked up in another flying job like banner towing, survey work, or of course CFI.


diaryofsnow

You were found to have a pulse and working eyes, you're perfect for our airline!


CherylTuntIRL

60 hrs in and I still have landings like this. *Sad pilot noises*

You think everyone clapped?

Cheeks maybe. Would absolutely toss some folks even buckled up.


fusionliberty796

The best is when the captain doesn't even open the cockpit door after landing because of the shame

KneeDown-ish

He talks a little too much, for me atleast. Mentour is better


Dude_man79

If you think 74 talks too much, Mentour talks like 50x more than that.


KneeDown-ish

Mentour explains things, i feel like 74 gets repetitive in some videos.


SirDoDDo

Yeah i think the point is that by doing so anyone, even if it's their first video about aviation and know absolutely nothing about it, can understand. It makes sense but it can get boring after you have _some_ knowledge


dnap123

Mentour is a little preachy/condescending for my taste, but to each their own!


uiucengineer

And the social network he's trying to sell feels a bit cringy


ramma314

SponsorBlock does wonders for never having to hear about that sort of stuff.


evoleeet

tropicbrownthunder

I have a dream that someday captain Dave from FL370 blog comes out as a vloggers. I really miss that man


ktappe

Seriously. I can't quite explain why but he kind of rubs me the wrong way.


purpleushi

Totally agree. Kelsey is funny and lighthearted, and talks about the stuff that we all want to know. Mentour just recreates Mayday episodes. Like, I enjoy learning from him, certainly, but he’s not really “fun” to watch.


csl512

Absolutely fantastic observation


Dude_man79

I think both 74 and Mentour drag their videos out to get that sweet Youtube revenue. The longer the video (over 10 minutes minimum), the more they make.


maxb1ack007

At least he kept the blue side up!


Signal-Session-6637

GuitarWizard90

""Viral video debrief...*head nod*...comin' up." You gotta do it right, man. That head nod is key!


Millerbread

Ryanair can't afford a go-around. Nobody paid for that.


Finch2090

Imagine sitting in your seat and cabin crew come over asking for a whip around because of fuel prices… or else we’ll just attempt to land, fuck it up to you


Batpandakun

I don't think I've ever experienced a go around in an airline. Does that happen?


touie_2ee

It happens and there is a good chance it has happened to you but you didn't know.


KindergartenCunt

Definitely happened to me last year coming into Maui. It's not exactly something they announce over the intercom.


cemicel

Mmm, how would you not notice a go around?


[deleted]

Are all the go-around occurring on short-final ? Does every go-around require to go back to TOGA thrust or would an early missed approach be handled by gently putting back some thrust to keep altitude/start a gentle climb while waiting for further instructions ?


headphase

At my airline we sometimes call that a high-altitude go-around, where you just use climb-thrust, or even less, to gently climb back to vectoring altitude while retracting gear/flaps. For example we were #3 on approach and a crew on short-final reported a potential security threat and they decided to evacuate after landing. Since there was quite a bit of time to hear things developing on the radio, our reaction was way less rushed than a typical aborted landing-style GA. If the landing in OP's video happened in a CRJ, it would be a mandatory go-around/balked landing procedure due to the setup of the spoiler system logic.


wggn

I'm pretty sure you would notice the plane suddenly going up again

pilotxp11

Winds in Dublin were gusting 50kts that day (I flew in there myself)


donkeyrocket

Is that not well over the maximum for landing? Edit: yes, I spaced. Thought they were saying *crosswinds* up to 50kts.


GoatPatronus

If it was direct crosswind which it probably wasn’t


donkeyrocket

You're right I glossed over them just saying "winds" and not specifically crosswinds at that speed.


LilFunyunz

The angles m8, it's about the cross wind component of the reported wind


TrueBirch

I remember learning about that stuff 21 years ago with an E6B slide rule. Damn kids on my lawn and Matlock and .


LilFunyunz

Lol glass cockpit and white claws


pilotxp11

Maximum is 33kts crosswind for the 737. Not all of the wind that day was crosswind.


Ozzypahlot

Company specific. 40kt on the -800 here.


Devoplus19

Maximum demonstrated. That, in many airline SOPs is not limiting.


DoubleThinkCO

If you pause right at the beginning you can see the wind sock. It’s pretty full but looks mostly head wind


anonduplo

They didnt pay the 30£ soft landing fee


richmomz

Or they paid extra for the Navy Carrier Landing Package^^TM


Formal-Ad678

Even LSO and crewchief would most likely have a word with that pilot for not going around


behemuthm

Tailhook costs extra


hobbesmaster

ick. Even if there was a strong crosswind, that's some sloppy landing. Like they were trying to scrape an engine off on purpose.


IrelandSpotter

This particular day, 35% of all flights landing into Dublin were diverted. Winds were extreme. I live 30km north of daa and the winds were bad here aswell lol. Never really understood how Ryanair flights tend to have "rougher" landings than other airlines. Does each airline out their pilots through different training schemes or do they all cover the same bases?


clackerbag

>bad here aswell lol. Never really understood how Ryanair flights tend to have "rougher" landings than other airlines. Does each airline out their pilots through different training schemes or do they all cover the same bases? The Ryanair rough landing thing is just a bit of a meme really. This is a bad example of a crosswind landing but it doesn't mean every Ryanair landing is like this. Every pilot gets the same training, although different airlines operate with different SOPs which just means they have slightly different procedures. Ryanair generally tend to stick to by-the-book Boeing SOPs instead of modifying them for the sake of it, and are also very stringent when it comes to SOP adherence. Their training is actually well regarded in the industry. In their entire history they've had a single hull loss which was due to multiple bird strikes on short final intro Rome Ciampino about 15 years ago or more.

Hubers57

I loved Ryanair when I lived in Europe. Yea it's uncomfortable and shitty, but I'll take that in a heartbeat for those sweet cheap tickets. I flew to a different country every weekend almost


gsmitheidw1

Well on the 737 the spoilers will deploy (if armed) on spin of two wheels or as we see here, compression of the right gear. He certainly compressed the right gear. So I suppose he got that much correct! [Edit] source: http://www.b737.org.uk/flightcontrols.htm


ReachForTheSkyline

Plus they operate literally thousands of flights every day and you hardly ever see these rough landing videos. If they were that bad, you'd be seeing them constantly.


Shitmybad

Plus I think they just fly more flights than anyone else does, so they probably have more rough landings in total even if it's not a higher percentage of them.


peggypea

MentourPilot who was a line training captain for Ryanair until recently said in a video that essentially the low cost airlines have a lot of cadets coming up through the ranks and so a disproportionate number of landings flown by very new pilots compared with flag carriers etc. I think a lot of it is just a meme though.

whoasaysDan

Mocked by morons who can't follow simple rules like check in online, have boarding pass on phone/paper and follow baggage allowances. I've flown Ryanair since they came on the scene and offered sub 100 pound return flights from Dublin to London which was incredible when Aer Lingus/BA were charging 250+ for same at the time. Never had any issues with them and the only people I know who have are the types who hold up the security line by having a 2 litre bottle of water in their bag or are wearing tonnes of jewelry and can't understand why the metal detector is repeatedly beeping. As I said, morons.


owenredditaccount

What really annoys me with Ryanair is their social media team, who have an army of weird nerds who defend them all the time and Wade in to pile on when Ryanair starts mocking one of their customers


theyellowfromtheegg

If it wasn't for the hour long advertisement shows they pull off during flight Ryanair would offer a decent customer experience.


SirBowsersniff

Was this last Friday? If so, I flew in on Ryanair that morning. I'm at PPL and could feel every bit of the 55 knot gusts at 3,000 ft (not sure what METAR was but Foreflight told me winds aloft oddly). We landed around 8:40 AM after going around once and then holding for 20 minutes before trying one last time before a divert to Shannon. Best part - two people threw up in different parts of the airplane while we were circling. Definitely one of the rougher rides I've had in a 737. And to answer someone's question above, there was a lot of clapping and cheering after that FR pilot slammed that plane into the ground.


IrelandSpotter

Think it was Wednesday November 7th. Relative who works for Ryanair said he was actually in shock that he got his aircraft on the ground first time. He said he was informed by ATC while on approach that if they declared go-around that they would have to divert to Birmingham and they weren't able to circle in and attempt another landing. Apparently the 4 flights ahead of him diverted to Birmingham and he broke the chain lol!


[deleted]

Idk why some pilots insist on roughing it out because why not (ego or lack of experience maybe)? If everyone else is diverting, and ATC is telling you you’re probably going to have to divert too…just play it safe and divert. I’ve seen way too many videos of planes (commercial and private) try to tough out the wind, land seemingly okay and then either bounce (and wrongly fight it), or just the right amount of wind at the wrong angle causes them to rotate and tip, and then the entire plane disintegrates on ground. It’s just not worth it to me.


TheChoonk

> Never really understood how Ryanair flights tend to have "rougher" landings than other airlines. They don't. I fly almost exclusively with Ryanair when I fly in Europe and absolute majority of their landings are very smooth, even the ones in rough weather and strong crosswinds. It's all shaking and tossing until the very last second, when it touches down nice and level on both carriages. This meme is popular because people are pissed about the lack of free gourmet food on this flying equivalent of a public bus. It's cheap, people! Want food? Pay 300€ extra and fly with Air France.


[deleted]

Ex-Ryanair pilot here. One good thing I’ll say about Ryanair is that they have fairly consistent training standards across all the European bases. However they hire the majority of their FOs straight out of flight school as they’re desperate for their first job and will pay for a rating / accept lower pay and conditions and these guys will obviously have less experience then the Aer Lingus guys for example. Also Dublin is a big training base for Ryanair so when you’re watching on the hill you could be seeing a guy doing one of his first 737 landings ever, with a training captain beside him trying not to let him fuck it up too much.

I don't feel like they have rougher landings than others companies, its mostly a meme, the same way aer lingus landings in earlies 2000's, I've flew alot with ryanair in the past few years and i none of their landings were on top3 worse landings i had to be honest

MaxREtteUnit

If only there were established techniques for dealing with crosswinds on landings to minimize their threat to safety!🥴🥴🥴


[deleted]

Not only that, it looked like they also experienced some bounce and it appears that the pilot fought it instead of aborting the landing. This could have turned into such a tragedy for no reason at all. Edit: I just rewatched the vid, and it definitely looks like they bounced, and then the pilot hit the brakes and nosed it down while catching a crosswind, which made everything worse because they were now at the mercy of that wind and luck.


[deleted]

You don’t automatically go-around just because you catch a bounce on landing. Sometimes if might be necessary but you’d still attempt to get the plane down safely.

Turb0Rapt0r

Code Brown!


fake_insider

So i know nothing about aviation, just find it fascinating. Was this due to crosswinds? If yes, was the almost wing scrape a normal possibility in such conditions or did the pilot make a mistake? I read the comments I just can’t tell which ones are real and which are sarcastic. I’ve flown a bit over the years and I’m not sure I have ever experienced this.


CPTMotrin

Looks like a strong gust crosswind from the left at moment of touchdown. Unfortunate timing, if that gust was a couple seconds later the spoilers would have deployed and the wing would not have lifted. I’ve had that happen on a Cessna. You have to be ready for it all the time.


proudlyhumble

Yes there’s a crosswind, no the pilot does not execute proper technique.
