AirPhil Express A320 overrun in Kalibo.
"Ladies and gentlemen we are on final approach, please make sure your seat belts are securely fastened, thank you." aaaaand touch down a few seconds later.

Floatagiest! The TD point must have been in the middle of the runway length, why didn't the pilot go around? Pretty obvious that this was going to end up with tea and no biccies in the chief pilots office.

Yeah pretty crazy not to go around.
Even looked like there was a bit of a tailwind too.
Yes, pretty mad.... Go around is always a good option when you´re doing such a long landing.... Anyway.... everybody was OK and the plane flying again soon...

The super late touchdown is weird enough in itself, but what confuses me the most is why the PA was SO late. The pilots announcement was on *short* finals, and the FA's one was pretty much on touchdown. Almost pointless doing it then....

Wow.
When I fly, the "prepare for landing" PA announcement comes 5-10 minutes before landing. Not 5-10 seconds! This must be awful for the passengers, because many of them likely assumed the captains/fa's were running on "asian time." LOL.
The comments/laughter at the end of the video are so funny.. haha!!
*not meaning to offend anyone... people always tell me I run on asian time.

What on earth were the pilots thinking? KLO only has a 2300m runway. When you are 1000m past the piano keys and still flying... All I can say is they are vary lucky the overrun area was flat and hard. If they tried that at Congonhas in São Paulo, they would have been screwed.
Quoting migair54 (Reply 3): I can´t believe that they are doing that king of PA when they´re so low....
LOL! No kidding! It wasn't just the landing, what's with the timing of the flight crew telling the cabin to prepare for landing??? Start a stopwatch at the beginning of the video:
00:00:05 - "Cabin crew prepare for landing"
00:00:14 - "Ladies and gentlemen, we are on our final approach... "
An eternity of floating down the runway
00:00:26 - touchdown
00:00:45 - Airplane enters the grass overrun area
00:00:50 - My new favorite YouTube contributor says "Nice landing" and laughs. Too funny.
Thank goodness everyone is able to laugh at this one after such a poor performance from the flight crew. It could have been tragic.

Looks like they came in kind of fast too. At least the ground was pretty soft.

Oh come on... that ground is solid, just taxi back onto the runway like nothing happened... probably wouldn't be the first time... lol
Love the laughter and comments being made in all three videos.

Talk about a flight crew being behind on the aircraft.
Quoting N14AZ (Reply 7): This must be a quit new A 320. They just recently received their A 320, IIRC.
Lets hope this was the underlying problem with this. If not we got some issues with said airline. Either way, the crew should be let go due to poor judgement.

DOH!...Palm trees seem to be indicating a tailwind...nothing like a "floater" to welcome you to your vacation...howz about requesting a wind check on your next excursion to this 2300m runway / sidewalk...guys?
The transition to the grass did seem somewhat smooth...perhaps due to the unique talent in the cockpit...

Quoting 76er (Reply 15): It could be just me, but I heard no engine reverse after landing.
I thought exactly the same when I first watched it, but watching it a 2nd time then as the spoilers deploy there is a definite change in "wind noise" - It's just hard to make out over the tyre noise.

Wow that must have been pretty scary seeing the tarmac disappear from beneath you on to the grass. Thank god there was no hill or ditch at the end of the runway.

Maybe they think it is alright to say it as long as before they touchdown, that being 5-10mins before or even 5-10 seconds as we just saw!

Quoting sandyb123 (Reply 16): If you catch the windsock at 0.35 in the video its definitely a downwind landing.
Barely. Looked like a light quartering tailwind, I estimate about 5-7 knots.That's well within limits of many airline SOPs.
For the windsock to be completely horizontal the wind has to be upwards of 12 kts.
They're still idiots for not doing a rejected landing either way.

I can't open the video at work, but I have heard FA's on some recent flights do it late SIMPLY BECAUSE some guy/gal decided to get up at the last second to attempt to use the bathroom (yes on short final...)

Possible it was said to sit someone down?
I got the feeling maybe her announcement was directed at someone.
25 flanker: Looked like it was way past the middle of the strip...the markers on the other end were visable when the camera started shaking from the landing.
26 71Zulu: Now way was the FA PA directed at anybody, she was speaking generally. The pilot didn't even give the prepare to land until 23 seconds before touchdow

30 wilco737: I like the comment underneath the video: "I had no idea that we were off the runway until I looked at the video." Landing was very far down the runway

41 spacecadet: Yeah, that's the first time I ever laughed out loud at a runway overrun. You usually don't hear sarcasm from the passengers in that situation.
42 filoflyer: FLying- More fun in the Philippines. hahahaha!
