Landing Video Contest

Hey pilots,

I wish you all a wonderful new year 2025 and I hope you all are doing great.

The idea came in my mind to initiate a landing contest with players sending in a short clip (30 seconds max) of their most awesome butter landing. The winner will be the video with the most “heart likes” and will even receive a trophy with the player’s name engraving and the name of the event, assumed the player is willing to DM private name and address. I hope that doesn’t violate any IF rules. If it does maybe IF staff can handle that somehow via e-mail.

I will send the trophy from Germany and pay for the shipping fee world wide.

Deadline will be Jan 31st. The trophy will be send in February.

The clips needs to be in a good perspective that shows the landing accurate. The better the perspective, the better the landing, the better for the player :)

One more thing: NO light aircrafts, everything from A220 and A318 or B737 upwards is required. Also allowed are Embraers, all Bombardiers CRJ models and the Dash-8, but NOT the Challenger 350. And also NO military aircrafts.

Alright, let’s go! Show us what you got!

Can you please elaborate on how you can submit?

Very good question. I just tried to upload a video and it does not work. My bad. I thought “screenshots and videos” meant that we can upload videos here.

I will let you know later how we can handle that.

How to use Streamable to upload videos

Thanks a lot for that info. Well, that could be solution. I sent an e-mail to the admin Jason Roswell but it remained unanswered so far.

To me it would be way easier to upload the videos here in this topic but we can use Streamable if the players are okay with it. I don’t mind.

Youtube would only work if players have an own channel, I guess

If you have your own channel, you could have people submit video files to you and then you could post it yourself

Unfortunately I don’t have an own channel. Jason from IF just answered and uploading videos here directly is not possible.

I think the idea uploading them on Streamable is a good one. Creating an account there is done quickly and then player can send the link of their uploaded video here in the topic.

Okay let me just go first and forget about this: Watch L1 | Streamable
Enjoy and give it a heart! ❤️

Oh, as I see if you copy the link under the uploaded video it is directly watchable here in the topic.

Perfect!

I would believe you have to outline some criteria for this. Such as the aircraft, the conditions, the airport, time of day in IF, etc…

You should have a control in which to evaluate even if its not a metric value.

Here’s my first try. I think I can do better though.
Make sure to leave a heart!

One thing could be import to mention: no light aircrafts, everything from A318 upwards regarding to the size.

But the rest I would like to leave to the players. Don’t make it too complicated.
