Dear friends and followers, welcome back to my channel!
The landing flare, also referred to as the round out, is a maneuver or stage during the landing of an aircraft.
The flare follows the final approach phase and precedes the touchdown and roll-out phases of landing. In the flare, the nose of the plane is raised, slowing the descent rate and therefore, creating a softer touchdown, and the proper attitude is set for touchdown. In the case of conventional landing gear-equipped aircraft, the attitude is set to touchdown on the main (front) landing gear first. In the case of tricycle gear-equipped aircraft, the attitude is set to touchdown on the main (rear) landing gear. In the case of monowheel gear-equipped gliders, the flare consists only of leveling the aircraft.
In parachuting, the flare is the part of the parachute landing fall preceding ground contact and is executed about 15 feet (5 m) above ground.
During a helicopter landing, a flare is used to reduce both vertical and horizontal speed to allow a near zero-speed touchdown.
I hope you enjoy this video!

Wow Joe at this point you are teaching us how to fly planes without going to Flight School 😂
yeah why not¡🙂 someday it would provide more material from noobs bouncing planes off the runway🤣
Is captain Joe's ground school 101
that was funny
@@pelgrin21 😀😀
I take notes for flight sim! Haha!
I'm not a pilot but have traveled extensively as a passenger. I've learned to appreciate a pilot who makes a greaser landing such that you don't even know the wheels are down. On the way out of the plane, I will stop and congratulate the flight crew and pilot!!
And how do you congratulate the crew and pilots? Clapping? No, that means hate to the pilot in aviation.
A respectful passenger, I love it!!!
@@flywithcaptainjoe I very much agree I always wanted to co gratulate the crew with great landing even though I'm not a pilot😂😂
I enjoy every flight I go on very well done by the pilots that having a very responsible job, they try to keep it a very enjoyable flight
This is how I congratulate the crew and pilots, I usually say "Another happy landing and thanks to the nice crew!"
I'm not a pilot & I'm happy with the quote “A ‘good’ landing is one from which you can walk away. A ‘great’ landing is one after which they can use the plane again.”
As my instructor was saying: "This is one of the things we can not teach, you have to get the feel for it." And it is true, my landings were getting better and better with each lesson. Practice is the best teacher!
Hello I saw your profile and I like it so I guess if we can chat to know each other on hangout or email, vanessamark433@gmail.com
the amount of times joe has helped me in flight simulators are staggering
Makes me happy😉
😎😎😎
@@flywithcaptainjoe you really love that wink emoji 😉
Imagine if Joe does a relationship advice channel😄
@@johnbar6975 Imagine
Very interesting but this particular video was way over my head 😬 Keep up the mega videos Joe 👊
Joe! What a surprise to find you on this channel! 😅 I miss you on the Carwow clips. Cheers mate
i think these vids are aimed more at simmers/gamers looking to hone their skillz at least i am one :)
Would like to see a video on how to use the flight computer to setup basic flight plans from the cockpit and how to pick a runway midflight and setup to land on :)
Loved this video. A good mix of technical information and visual adds.
How can you end up here Joe?
I swear this video came at the perfect time. This is literally the one thing my instructor told me I have to nail to be able to solo. His exact words were "you do everything perfectly, just land softer". Thank you so much for the insight Joe
I was a passenger on a flight to YYZ and it was the best landing ever. There was only a VERY SLIGHT vibration as the main gear touched down and then reverse thrust came on. As the plane slowed down the captain announced the following, "That....ladies and gentlemen.....is how you land an L-1011." The entire cabin erupted into cheers and applause.
That was a whole ago...
This will be very helpful for impressing my friends in microsoft flight simulator
Lol and me in impressing my friends in X-Plane 11
Same 😂
Hell, I'd be happy if this made me impress AirForceProud69
See above. You don;t "feel" a simulator. For that reason, I've wlays found it more challenging to "fly" a simulator that fly an aircraft!! Note on of the inset videos of a landing in the 172. Note that the yoke is all over the place approaching and into the flare. That is the pilot "feeling" for the runway.
@@crsvetteii1753 There are benefits to adding simulator time to augment actual flight time training, but it should never be used in lieu of actual flight time training. For instance, if weather condition don't permit actual flying, that's a perfect time to hit the simulators. But it should never replace actual flight hours.
These are what I say: Smooth- “he greased it” or “niiicceee” or “butter” Firm- “he put it down” More than firm- “ he pancaked it” Anything worse- I squint, say “oooffff”, and laugh a little bit because I think of the passengers and what that flights crew members are thinking.
Thank you😉
Then there’s carrier landings, where you’re essentially slamming down onto the deck with no flare whatsoever.
@@TAVideos786 fly United those landings are hard as hell oh my god
@@michaelmurray7199 Don't miss the hook!!
What is the connection of the flight number
I love it that he is showing ryanair at 0:53
On my streams, we call soft landings as "Greasy Peasy" . Beautiful Video!
The pain you see going through Joe when he sees the 747 smashing into the ground, awesome :D
'Or it's the complete opposite, and your landing becomes a youtube sensation'. Lmao 🤣
@@flyingwithkaza lol
Thank you for featuring Philippine Airlines, the pride of our country. Much love here from the Philippines
The flare is my biggest challenge right now. I love how straightforward and understandable your explanation is. Great for flight simmers!
Finally seeing a PH Airlines in your videos! Proud Filipino here!
😊
PH airlines- that sounds kinda sus ngl bro
Oo nga eh nakakatuwa
nice
Yeaaaah my daily dose of motivation 😊
then i must be overdosing badly
Hey Joe nice video. You really explained a proper step by step procedure, where my instructors never taught me how to flare properly and have always yelled at me for making bumpy landings. Thank you 🙏🏻 This was really helpful.
Another superb flying lesson from the great Captain Joe. You have my respect, sir.
*Ryanair pilot does a greaser* *Ryanair corporate:* "1/10, not hard enough, you're fired."

@@zeeman9057 why did no one get angry at you for fixing his/her English???
Ryanair be like: Imma pretend I didn't see that
Fuck!!!! I was gonna write the exact same thing LOLLLL!!!
*Manual says flare before touchdown* Ryanair pilot: "... and I took that personally."
Smooth landings cost extra.
B747 on the thumbnail: Smooth landing today am I right? Ryanair: B747 teach me how to land smoothly
@@ConstantlyDamaged legend has it that there is a bucket next to the aircrafts door during boarding where the passengers are supposed to throw in some cash. But the “crowdfunding goal” seems to never have been achieved
I think u actually did THE PERFECT LANDING HERE. A soft touchdown, good approach and a quick flare. Ur rly a professional !
Only one word to this video... WOW!!! Keeping in mind soft landing is not a priority, it is good to see a renown Captain teaching or giving wonderful tips about soft landings using a flight sim. We flight simmers appreciate that a lot. We thrive all over on the youtube to learn how to make soft touchdown, and finally, we have the perfect one now. 👍🏻
Soft landing: OH MY GAWD Hard landing: GO AROUND AND STILL TOUCH DOWN SOFTER ON THE OTHER END OF THE RUNWAY THEN OVERRUN Crash landing: Imean, we landed, did we not?!?!
Or, as Sully said, "it wasn't a crash, it was a controlled landing on water"!
“Any landing that you can get out alive is a good landing Any landing that you can get out and still fly the same plane is a GREAT landing” I’ve definitely butchered that saying
@@astupidmidge you know what they say taking off is optional landing is mandatory. How you do it is still a option. Plummeting at mach 0.8 nose down to the earth will take your plane down. It will be the last thing you do with that plane.
RYANAIR!!!!!!!!
How to perform a Butter eh? Yep, watching pilot alexander when this popped up.
Great video Joe! Thanks for taking the time for novices like me!
That is a great video joe. Thank you! I am doing my CPL soon and this definitely helps me get the gist of smooth landing!
In Brazil we call a hard landing a "catrapo", and a soft landing we say that the pilot "alisou a pista" (smoothed the runway)... Usage in a sentence: One of your collegues did a "catrapo" here in Curitiba, and it grounded the LX-NCL for a few days back in September 😂 (kzhead.info/sun/gK18fNN8jouuraM/bejne.html)
Hey! I’m Brazilian, how are the hour requirements and job availability in Brazil? I’m doing my training in the US and was looking to go back to Brazil to time build after my Commercial Multi rating. Can you get a job with about 300 hours there?
@@gabrieldepaula3844 right now it's almost impossible to get a job on aviation here in Brazil (at least on the bigger airlines and charter companies)... some expect the aviation industry to be a little more open here by mid-2022... But in a scenario without the pandemic, if you have a bachelor's (in any field, not only aeronautical sciences), usually the airlines hire you with about 300~500 flight hours... this number doubles if you don't have a bachelor's degree... (and you need to speak portuguese). BUT, if is only to build more flight hours, there's always opportunities on the North/Amazonia region (though it's very risky there, as the safety/security protocols are not very ensured there...)
@@gabrieldepaula3844 for an example, here were the requirements of an (now defunct) Brazilian airline (but it's standard for the brazilian companies, the only thing that changes is the type rating) epicflightacademy.com/hiring-requirements-avianca-brazil/ this probably dates back from 2017, when the brazilian aviation industry was on its peak, and they were hiring literally everybody who applied (as you can see, they only required 200 flight hours... but again... 2020 fucked us over, and its definitely not like that anymore hahahahaha 😅)
aaaai😄 thanks for sharing!
@@merdapostagem5985 Thank you for that, I didn’t consider flying in the Amazon. I will look into that. 300 hours is incredibly low for the airlines when compared to the US’s 1,500 hours minimum requirement. I do speak Portuguese too.
Ryanair pilots have a tradition - that when they land a plane they always go wrong :) btw good video as always...
I’m currently working on landings at flight school. Couldn’t have been a more perfect time to upload this video. Thanks Joe!
Thanks Capt, Nicely explained!!! Appreciate your time and sharing your expertise with us.
5:43 Oh boy, a Wamos 747. I miss them so much. I used to be a flight attendant for Wamos until Covid started. Hope they are OK and ready to work this summer. :( I've flown so many times in that Jumbo...
I have about 1700 hours on my flight sim and this is helpful practice!
Back in the day, we practiced and practiced and practiced again (Three years with a Cessna 172, 8 years with a PA-32-260 Cherokee 6 and the Piper was much better at greasing the runway than with the 172. With a slight to medium cross wind the Cessna wasn't easy and in heavy cross wind, well, forget it......it was ouch ! We finally resolved the problem with a Cessna 185 on floats. (cross winds were rare events). Got to old, operating costs got worse and we gave up on flying (After 38 years) ! Great video !
Joe! Your videos are awesome! I love geeking out to them!
0:59 classic music, classic scene, classic landing, You know what that means
Who else likes the video before even watching because we already know its going to be really good. Keep up the awesome work captain!! 👍
Me😂😂😂
@@flywithcaptainjoe Where in the World do you fly Joe? Caroline from Norway. 😃🤷♀️✈
I always like the videos from subscribed channels before watching just because, why would I be subscribed to a channel if I didn't LOVE their videos?
@@Ktulu789 very true 👌👍
I like the Like button... But we need a HEART ❤️ button for certain videos too!
Very nice video, every time I get on a plane I always look forward to when the plane lands really well and softly. I assumed that a smart and experienced pilot would land the plane gently without shaking much. but the luck that accompanies the pilot also determines a good plane landing. and I really love seeing planes as they land at the airport. because the goal of every airplane that flies is to land somewhere else safely. Good job captain joe and safe your flight.
I flew the 747-400 for several years. Joe’s information is exactly correct, nice job!
0:13 BUTTER
After one bouncy landing, the lead flight attendant said on the PA system, "well, that was a landing". She obviously didn't want to criticize her co-workers but it was rough and probably couldn't have gone uncommented altogether.
Pilot joe your videos and breifing were amazingly beautiful. You know i feel myself as a virtual Pilot while watching your videos. Great job.🚄 luv watching.
Thanks for the simple briefing
I look forward to that day, when the crew says: "Unfortunately has both the pilots got sck, do we have a Captain Joe subscriber onboard, so please come to the cockpit, we need to land the plane as fast as possible..." Ha ha ha.
Not fast, smooooooth! xD
Capetan joe love
Hello I saw your profile and I like it so I guess if we can chat to know each other on hangout or email, vanessamark433@gmail.com
I’m a pilot on the A320 i kinda have my own technique for landing I start the flair at 50ft but a slow flair Then when i cut the power i keep pulling the side stick and let go a little i keep repeating that until the touchdown and i get really smooth landings 90% of the time
the captain allows u to do that?
@@brennnz5550 he's the captain lol
That was so informative Captain Joe. This is the best tip for a better landing.
Thanks for the video.... super concise explanation.
Who here wants Joe to open his own fly school?
He would have to lose that patronising tone.
He did. on youtube.
@@tlk8927 *O *Y *T
I've found that my smoothest landings are achieved by performing a longer flare, but I'll only ever use that technique on runways with more than double the necessary space for me to land with moderate braking and flaps full.
Cap'n joe thanks for another good lesson now I can be a good pilot like you!
Thank you for making this video, Joe! I'm an avid flight simmer and my landings have been awful lately. I'll try to put these techniques to use!
Hello I saw your profile and I like it so I guess if we can chat to know each other on hangout or email, vanessamark433@gmail.com
Finally I can explain my parents what I mean by flare on landing 😂 Thanks Joe!!
I once landed our plane from a regional flight with a good flare. Passengers clapped and gave the flight deck a commendation by one of the passengers.
Thank you captain joe , I loved your landing
Joe ....you are absolutely fantastic in the way that you explain the things....to be honest you are my mentor and i love to watch every video that you upload and without being in flight school i do understand most of the terms and procedures !
Is anyone waiting to see if 74 Gear comments, "Hey, that was me" on that Atlas landing? :P
Don’t ask him how he knows!
swiss001 be like no, we just land fast and float to butter that way
It’s time for a video collaboration with him😉
@@flywithcaptainjoe lmaoooo he'll scream if you comment on his vid.
@@flywithcaptainjoe who can land smoother...
@@flywithcaptainjoe oh im excited!
@@Pies. Serbian pilots and that with damaged landing gear...😁
Thanks captain Joe. I have really learned about landing with your easy explanations. Love from Morocco 🇲🇦 God bless America 🇺🇸
Fantastic video. Great mix of flight sim, video and explanatory graphics!

Soft: “butter” “finessed it” “greaser” “well put down” Hard: “they hit the deck” “ooh, bet that stung a bit”
Most important & interesting content !!! Thank you ,❤️ captain JOE
That wake turbulence on that Atlas 747 Love the video Captain Joe, keep doing what you’re doing. I’m in the process of o raining my PPL now and your videos are always educational and motivating.
Me at pilots license test. People there: ok here's you questions but you haven't gone to flight school? Me: I watched captain Joe! Them: WOW THAT WAS FAST! CONGRATULATIONS YOU GOT YOU PILOTS LICENSE!
...that's the way you are going to fail your license. unfortunately for you, you need to study and practice. watching youtube videos won't give you anything.
@@fgrion its a joke🙃
@@avi-nation7620 i hope so... you would be surprised on how many people think that watching youtube videos is enough.
@@fgrion it's a joke dumbass
You could say that the joke....flew over their head?
All 3 clips are just a normal days with Swiss001 because he operates big planes on short runway
A great video indeed, thank you for all the great information, keep flying safe and travel greatly!
You are amazing, Joe! thank you for all
Hey Joe, any chance you could give us a link to that Captain Joe livery, so that we could fly that beauty ourselves?
I totally hear you and I would love too, but there are some weirdos out there who will crash land the plane and upload on KZhead etc. I kinda won’t to prevent that. I hope you understand!
@@flywithcaptainjoe yeah thats completely understandable haha
0:30 yey philippine airlines
I am not a pilot , i been travelling extensively as a passenger also i have learned a lots about landing takeoff etc, still learning more about engine and auto pilot etc, thanks Mr Joe , we are learning lots more from you and your experience , thanks a lot and keep going. reg R.menon
I am not even in the age to fly the Cessna . I am watching your videos since 4 years . It feels like I can just grab a b747 and fly it (SOLO) Thank a lot as you explain everything as perfect as a friend. Never gonna stop watching your videos
I always say "the pilot made a drilling for oil" when I see someone performing a hard landing
Reading "drilling for oil", thinking "oh, he made it so smooooth". Finishing sentence "O.o Not what I expected but now I get the point".
@@Ktulu789 hablas español? no entendi si lo decis por como redacté en ingles o si te referis a lo que pensaria el pasajero jajaja
How I say it: Smooth landing: Butter Hard landing: Ryanair Examples: "Yes, I buttered this landing." "Whoops, Ryanaired it this time."
A landing should always be firm. A soft landing is pilot error as plane has floated long. Ryanair do landings by the book, perfect every time.
@@GeordieBoy69 Called a "Positive landing", good for wet runways
@@aviationchannel6204 yep wet runway should always be firm, to let the tyres cut thru the standing water. A proper hard landing puts the plane out of action as captain must pull a breaker and get the landing gear checked out. This causes delays but it must be done. Certain G forces on landing automatically send data to an independent company who then send the airline a detailed report. The airline must then check the pilots reports and if breaker is not pulled and gear check not done its likely the pilots could be sacked. Pilots do not know what that G rating is, nor do they get any idea its gone over. So pilots error on side of caution at all times. If it feels hard, get it checked otherwise it could be the end of job. So very few people have had a true hard landing before.
@@GeordieBoy69 I see many people shake the camera and scream during a butter landing and call it a "hard landing"
Time to use my knowledge accumulated on flight sims. Thanks cap'n
Thank you Capt, I'm learning a lot you✌🏼
Soft landing = butter Hard landing = Ryanair landing
as a ryanair pil- nah im just kiddin
Those dislikes were from Ryanair pilots
Very nice video, I'm going to try it on MSFS2020 because I really like flying/landing the 747-8. Thanks Joe.
Wowww Captain !! cannot be more entertaining and informative in this easy fashion, for an aviation enthusiast. Great !!! Thanks for taking time and effort to make this video for all of us. Keep the good work going.
A good flare is like ballet. A bad flare is like a drunk white guy dancing.
Racist
@@IBo99608 liberal blm shit
Joe get Swiss 001 who started the butter thing cos he made aviation much better like u
This video helps me a lot, im flying with X-plane 11 for a couple of years, but i still need to learn many things, and this video helps me a lot to improve my landings. Thank for your clearly explanation, you helped me a lot!
You know what... I took this advice and got a great landing in Flight Simulator, Thank you Captain Joe!
Excellent...this has help considerably. Thank you.
Great video. Many thanks to Cap Joe.
THANK YOU SO MUCH CAPTAIN JOE!!! I managed to land a 747 smoothly after following these tips! It require a lot of practice for sure and I finally did it! Thanks Captain!
Beautifully explained! I don’t care what anyone says, it DOES deserve an applause if done well!!👏👏👏
Joe you seem like such a great guy. Amazing teacher. Hope one day you can teach me!
Very good video Joe. Breaking it down in steps is very useful. Of course it is easier said than done.
this is really helpful thank you Captain Joe would love to see more technical videos:))
Yes, interesting video. Oct. 1987, Berlin Tegel. Landing from FRA on a Pan Am A310 in complete fog. I was amazed how lightly we touched down too. Thanks, Joe.
I'm in flight school atm, and I've been learning how to land (A.K.A the art of landing) and you nailed the explanation! I've had some hard landings and some soft landings, but I like to remark "Damn put her down quite rough" or "She's not gonna like that" on the hard landings. On smooth landings, it's "Buttery", "Silky smooth!" or just a good ol' "Oooohhh yeah! Nice and easy" and "Chefs kiss".
Thanks for the tips, Joe. I'll try that out in RFS.
Thank you Capt. Joe for introducing our own flag carrier Philippine Airlines in your video. Take care always..
Feared of landings..... but now got better ideas..thanks captain JOE sir
I am absolutely terrified of flying but these videos actually help me feel much better. Thanks Captain!
Captain Jeo is a double pro in real life and in the simulator wow amazing. And thanks for teaching us how to land smoothly. GOOD JOB
hey Joe, im not a Pilot but im watching alot of your videos because u make them and explain them so good in detail! keep going! :)
I will never forget how smooth landing when I first arrived US through SFO on UA’s B747 form NRT Japan. I can’t even felt landing is happening when touch down it just like “ fly to runway and keep flying on the tarmac and slow down at the meaning “ . That is so weird and I have never experienced that kind of jaw dropping smooth landing again. That happened in sep 1st 2003. That is art.
