How could a 737 possibly land this way?


Well, it's not a 737, it s 'bus.

It appears to be a European beer commercial, but looks pretty real;
funny as hell anyway.

Yeah, Heineken, i think. Doesn't look too real and I've never seen an
airplane do anything like that, but one of ous 757s had a porpoising
incident and I have seen the reconstruction from the recorder and it
looked remarkably similar.

Question from non-pilot: I live in the Atlanta metro area, and
see all kinds of aircraft flying over all the time...helicopters,
small private planes, corp jets, pipeline inspection planes,
military aircraft (air base pretty nearby), and airliners higher
up, leaving and coming into Hartsfield. I know there
are restricted areas where leisure fliers and such can't
fly over, but can g.a. pilots fly pretty much where they
want to? Fly around as you please with just keeping
an eye out for other craft? Seems like there'd be more
near-misses and collisions if that's the case.



GA pilots can't fly in controlled airspace ithout the same clearance as
anyone else, but they can fly unrestricted in quite a lot of low level
airspace. There are "rules of the road" and procedures which keep it
pretty safe, as well as just plain looking out the window, which works
better than you think.
