On Approach
No further pictures were taken due to a minor mechanical emergency on the flaps system.
The aircraft performed an emergency landing at Athens International Airport of Eleftherios Venizelos with no flaps deployed.
Landing speed of 200knts/h at 03R Runway.
It touched down like baby but it roared like a tiger! These two reversers performed excellent !
The aircraft stopped successful and unharmed right at the end of the runway!
Thank you for watching!
PS. PA did a heck of a job creating this flying whale! Thank you so much!

Re: OA A380 Lisbon - Athens
Thnx!
Yeah!! 200 knots!! I had no flaps to slow her down and she was going down fast! I almost shitted my pants!!
It was my 1st emergency with an A380 and I wasn't sure if she would make it through the runway! Luckily she did!
Runway 03R/21L 13.123ft, 4.000m

Re: OA A380 Lisbon - Athens
The spoilers were deployed but no flaps. A lot of reversers use and a little bit of brake after 100knts... :S
The touch down was very very smooth even at 200knts!!
