2 things happened here:
1. The pilot that made the first attempt to land will be immediately pulled from duty. He will return to the Lufthansa training facility for intense training sessions for a couple of months before returning back to duty.

2. The pilot that eventually landed the plane is not the same pilot that made the first attempt.. Believe it or not, for an international flight, there are at least 3 pilots on board. I'm 100% certain that the captain took over after the failed first attempt.

Thank God that eventually all went well...No major injuries!

There was a storm. That is every pilot's nightmare.

Captain himself don talk am.

Simply an inexperienced pilot steering the big bird. The white smoke is normal due to friction and the open wings are also normal, they're not broken as pointed in the picture. cool
You're not far from the truth, the news said one of the pilots is a trainee under the supervision of an experienced pilot, so he may be the one riding when the event occurred!

I personally don't like Airplane if there is any fastest way to travel abroad I will be so happy...I hate Airplane with passion

Funny enough my then boss at MMIA use to say this same thing. He use to say if only people know planes are made and how fragile planes are, you'd fast for days bfr boarding any Aircraft

And that we should forget it, any plane that lift off the ground and is suspended in the Air is solely in the hands of the Almighty God. I then corroborated when I got to know a pilot main duty is just to take off and land a plane and that's why they're paid when they take off and anytime they land even if it's same day

Storm shouldn't be a problem for any Pilot that knows what he's doing. If storm has never moved me for once why should it move them with everything they have at their disposal for a very extensive training

Your skull must be leaking to compare Air peace to Lufthansa

I’d say he was surprised. You will hardly see a 847 or A380 have this kind of hard landing. The report said the landing pilot was a trainee and maybe that explains it.

Glad there was no tail impact or tragedy.

Like they say, every landing where people walk out of the plane is a good landing.

mofedamijo:
If the tail had any impact with the ground, it would have been a terrible disaster. Thank God for that.

Not sure why that idiot in the video kept laughing. There is absolutely nothing funny about that. That could have ended terribly. What the f**k was funny....

The beauty of international trade and reduction of trade deficits.
Airbus , a German airplane manufacturer is the biggest in the world, and yet Lufthansa German airline had to buy some amount of Boeing planes(an American plane)
How is Airbus bigger than Boeing?

Boeing is the biggest Airplane producer in the world, follow by Airbus a Dutch company. Always cross check information before commenting

Its like you have not checked recent market realities.

Airbus is now the biggest in the world.
Boeing has been losing market value to their recent mismanagement and poor designs.

Racoon:
Though it was a hard landing, and no tail strike, thank goodness, disaster was avoided. Mistakes - whether man-made or not, are not often forgiven in the aviation world.

Thought these queens of the sky - Boeing 747 jumbos have been replaced by the A380s as many have retired their fleets?

Boeing 747 & Airbus A380 are different airplanes manufactured by two different brands... it's like saying Toyota Hilux being replaced by Mitsubishi L200. Different airline operators have different preferences for their planes

Came in too hard from my point of view

The speed it was descending from was much

You could see when it came back and it was smooth and much slower when landing
