Pilot pulls off ultra-rare landing in Airbus A320, you wouldn’t even know it had touched the ground

A young pilot pulled off a difficult and rare landing with an Airbus A320.

Even from the video, it’s clear that the plane looks like it didn’t even touch the ground, landing as smoothly as possible.

So, we can only imagine how seamless it must’ve felt on board.

Travelers, whether they fly once a year or once a month, are familiar with this type of situation.

You’re on the plane, you’re about to land, and it can usually go one of two ways.

Either you touch the ground and barely notice, or it feels like the pilot ‘slammed’ the plane against the ground.

This case is definitely the former.

A variety of factors at play

There are several factors at play, and the pilot’s ability is just one of them.

A large plane such as the Globemaster, for example, is a bit more difficult to land than a smaller plane.

The weather plays a key part, which is something that pilots (and passengers) landing at Gibraltar Airport, which is notoriously subject to crosswinds, are very familiar with.

Airbus A320 is one of the most versatile in the world

The list of airlines that operate different versions of the Airbus A320 is quite vast, and this is because it is highly customizable, and can be used for a wide range of routes.

Arrow-body aircraft, it is generally capable of accommodating up to 150+ seats, and has a range of roughly 3,300 nautical miles – or 6,150 kilometers.

It is a capable machine, and trusted by carriers the world over.

It was first launched in the mid 1980s and, so far, Airbus has built 11,520+ units, making it the best-selling commercial airliner in the world.
