The pilot of this Avro thought that they could do STOL landings: YouTube - Very bumpy landing
Think he took it a little too literally: Owch

Is that for real? . i'm totally amazed that the aircraft didn't break up ,you can see the pounding the landing gear took and the wings are flapping like a birds. I know aircraft can withstand totally unbelievable stresses ,but surely landings like this must take there toll?
I have seen smoother emergency crash landings than that .

Its quite a recent inccident (i.e this year): According to PPRuNe it was inspected and took off a few days later
In September last year another Avro (different operator) had a heavy landing at London City....Bottomed out and hit the tail scraping all the underside causing stress cracks on the underside...that one had to be put on a pontoon and shipped down the river to be fixed.

I'm staggered that plane did not break up. I dread to think what it was like inside the plane. There must have been some injuries from an impact like that.
Just imagine if you were being medi vacced home from a ski trip where you had broken you leg. That must be the last place you want to land in the world!

Never thought you could get gridlock at an airport

Amazing the difference a strong headwind has.
We have 747's at LHR that cannot make 1000ft altitude from start of roll. Factor in a strong headwind and they're over 2500ft at the same distance.

The Avro/Bae 146 is a very strong plane, plus fairly small and kind of stocky, they are intended for short/medium routes and a lot of cycles, plus the wing is set high which helped it avoid it twatting the runway, I suspect that landing may have badly damaged some other planes, even so that is a pounding way beyond what they normally get.
I remeber talking to a pilot who flew these, a lady as well, I asked whether it was a good plane to fly in that it had four engines and wasnt that big, she said well, they are four pretty weedy engines though.

Very strong aircraft the 146, I flew twice weekly on one for two years into a 1200 metre runway with some real 5hitty weather - overhead panels dislodging themselves on landing wasn't unknown. They were designed for flying into remote airfields so were technologically simple - hence the lack of reverse thrust and the brick 5hithouse design. Apparently the undercarriage is a straight copy of the Bucaneers? Taking off into a 60 knot headwind, brakes on and full thrust at the end of the runway, with only two or three passengers made for some pretty short take offs
Dash 7 previously on the same route landing into a strong headwind used to stop about 20m after touching down

The shortest take off/landing I've ever seen was a Fieseler Fi 156 Storch.
This aircraft was able to go so slowly that the pilot could face into a slight headwind and actually fly backwards. He was even able to land it without any forward speed. They used to be quite common at air shows.

Surely the Harrier jump jet is the shortest take off and landing? Afterall it goes up and comes back down in the same point.
Just being picky.
