Pilot Stalls Over The Runway
YouTube / 3 Mins Of Aviation
A Heart-Stopping Stall… or Just a Tough Landing?
In a gripping video shared by 3 Minutes of Aviation, a Kuwait Airways Boeing 777-300ER appears to flirt with disaster during its landing. The aircraft seems to enter a stall after an excessive flare—lifting its nose too high, too early. An alternate angle gives a clear view of the over-flare and dramatic descent.
But not everyone agrees with that assessment.
Some aviation enthusiasts argue that while the flare was high and the correction steep, the aircraft never actually stalled. Given the rough wind and heavy rain seen in the footage, they say the landing was solid—especially under those conditions.
Either way, the footage is intense. Major respect to the pilots for managing a safe touchdown in what looked like a brutal weather scenario.
So what do you think? Was it a stall or just a rough approach?
