Epic Low-Pass with an Airbus...(sorry if repost)
#12
I agree that second pass was extremely close. I am sure once pilot landed and watched the video he probably didn't even realize the wing tip got that close. There his no way he would any instrument on board that measures altitude from the wing tip to the ground. It was purely not his day.

Yep. horrible day.

Btw, whenever the landing gear is down in an A320 it automatically reverts to Direct Law which includes normal lift off till approx. 8seconds (Gear up time) and when you come to land normally after you are 100ft off the ground when the plane is in FLARE mode..
You can never get Direct Law while you are in air, only ALTN law.. The only time it goes to Direct is when the gear is down.

Hm. I thought the 310s had "Boeing mode" which is in effect direct law during gear up flight.
