ground speed brake..imao

The engine did not flameout. The birdstrike resulted in damage to the compressor section that resulted in compressor stalls which explains the flames popping from the tailpipe. The engine continues to run until it is apparently and expectedly shut down by the flight crew.

Since he was landing with only one engine, he did not have maximum thrust reverse available and was severly limited in how much reverse he could use on the left engine because it would pull the aircraft to the left during roll out. It is very common during maximum use of brakes for the brakes to overheat, boil hydralic fluid, or blow out tires which could start a fire on the landing gear. The fire crew would check the brakes as a precaution in case of fire.

After 40 seconds the video gets boring. You should have edited that out.

Correct. the AVP @ manchester is a fantastic day out :)

They would normally have used the engines to provide reverse thrust to assist in slowing the plane, but as they only had one engine operational, they would have had to use the brakes more to slow down, possibly leading to overheating and the potential for a fire

Can someone explain the necessity of the brake check please.

it's really, really, REALLY complicated, it's called video editing! The viewing area at manchester has the ATC playing over speakers, i imagine he has somehow tapped into this and recorded it.

Most of the time ATC comms are more formal, but "take second or later exit" reduces the need for a pilot or co- to think more about something and keep more at the task in hand - getting on the ground safely. "wind is calm", as far as I understand, is standard ATC for little to no wind in any direction. Hope that helps.

Yes, that's G-BOAC; the concorde on display at the Manchester Airport Viewing Park. Currently under construction as I understand but still a great family day out.

how can you copy the ATC into the Video?

whatsup1396, so you think this is an Airbus?
