    Saw a very similar performance at Canberra with a 737 quite a few years ago (1990s I think)- wingtip missed the ground by (guessed) less than a metre. As many of you will know, there is only one long runway there, so airline jets have to use it regardless of wind direction and strength.

    I watched it twice and it appears to be totally controlled all the way.....the aircraft are very strong.....it didn't crash down.....it was flown down.....I feel the pilots did very well.

    27.4m/s is around 51knots which was the maximum that Airbus encountered during their type certification trials. The aircaft had been sized (wing dihedral etc) to avoid engine contact at 40knots.

    When I first watched the video I thought it would have been outside their operating parameters.

    Yikes! I always get a feeling that there is a certain "cowboy" element in the pilots of some of these Asian airlines.....

    The latest JACDEC airline safety rankings has Thai at #53 out of 60.

    Interesting thing about the list is you have China Airlines last, but Hainan Airlines (a regional Chinese airline from Hainan Island) at #8..

    Looked good to me. That's how Air CAAC (china) put them down on a still day.

    Worst airline I've flown with, the domestic service is worse still.
