The punishment airliner landing gear has to take as the tyres smoke, the wheels rock, and the suspension compresses.

The clips are all in slow motion, shot at 60 fps, 120 fps and 400 fps giving playback speeds of one half, one quarter and about one thirteenth.

Location is runway 33 at BHX, and features planes belonging to Flybe, Ryanair, KLM, Monarch, Thomson, Thomas Cook, DenimAir and Bmi.

Farewell bmibaby - a sad day at BHX

Published on 11 Sep 2012

After 10 years, airline bmibaby.com ceased passenger operations on 9th September 2012, but four planes were left over at BHX. They left for Norwich for storage on Monday 10th September. It was sad to see them line up one by one on runway 15 on a a windy late morning for their final departures.
Best wishes and best of luck to all the airline's staff.

Anyone on board Monarch flight MON5485 (ZB5485) from Venice or Ryanair RYR3KY (FR1212) to Bydgoszcz on 21st August 2012 might be wondering what happened at the Birmingham end of their flights. Here is the answer. You might also like to watch a playback on Flightradar24.com from about 11-30am UTC on that date (which doesn't show the Ryanair) or better, on planefinder.net from 12-30pm local time which shows all planes.

Ten landings at BHX on 16th August 2012

These are all ten landings on runway 15 in a 20-minute period at BHX. The gusty 16 knot crosswind from the right was similar to the one which created some difficulties for pilots in video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YN27CUrdow4. In at least a couple of the landings here extra thrust had to be applied on the approach because of sudden speed drops due to the wind conditions - listen how the pilot whacks on the power from about 1 minute 20 seconds in the fourth landing (Monarch A320).

The planes in order are: Airbus A321, Boeing 757, A321, A320, AT-72, A321, Boeing 737, A320, Boeing 777, 752.
