  • Landings in very difficult conditions with cross winds and fo arounds in Madeira Airport. The cause? Windshear on the short final for 05, a terrible afternoon, with the wind not facilitating the landings. We are a huge community of airplane lovers. If you have some unique video about amazing flights, landings or airplanes, please share with our community sending the video to this email: info at linktomedia dot net.

      I am with Wes Nelson in this. Awful conditions. Caused awful approach and decent. But the landing itself? The touchdown? Brilliant! Even more so given the awful approach and decent caused by the awful conditions.
      It is about what you identify as landing. When the caption said awful landings, I expected hard touchdowns; like several landings I experienced when it felt like the landing gears hit/"slammed" onto the airstrip with the (is it hydraulics? or that mechanism which gives the gears their "springs") pressed hard to maximum compression.
      But in this video, the pilots managed smooth landing/touchdown at the final point.

    I've been a passenger on an AirBus A320 during a windy day go around (not at this airport) and seeing these videos really helps me put it into perspective! It looks fairly peaceful from the outside, even though as a passenger it was the most uncomfortable flight experience I've ever had. I have so much respect for pilots, especially those who take the time for a go-around. As they said in my fear of flying class, waiting is our friend when it comes to flying. If they wait to land, it's for good reason! Thanks for sharing.

  • @Mohammad_Ali__

    These pilots are very talented, skilled, and took their responsibilities very seriously. Facing such strong crosswinds is a tough thing to do for a pilot, and these footages just proved how successful the pilots are in managing not only their career, yet also at landing a passenger plane in tough weather conditions.

      Actually I have a friend who used to work at Airberlin on the Airbus A320, he used to fly to this airport a lot, he actually loved flying into this airport because of the fact that it was challenging and unique from others. Also, if you want to see a cockpit landing, search up, "Captain Joe landing Madeira" it's a video from inside the cockpit of an A320 with live Air Traffic Control communications and all the checklists as well. You should definitely chrck it out. He is now a 747 pilot for Cargolux because he lost his job at his old airline and he's got some really good videos on his channel you should check it out!

      On the contrary. None even *bounced*, so they were absolutely excellent textbook landings.
      The approaches did look a bit (no, a lot) hairy though...
      What surprised me the most about this clip is the number of pilots who seemed about to fly the whole go-around with the wheels down. Strikes me as an odd way to do it. And I thought all modern airliners had a "go around" button that does an automatic and very rapid checklist - flaps, throttles, undercarriage, etc etc...?

Landing into wind isn't generally a problem, unless it's extremely gusty. Landing when the wind is trying to blow you off the Runway, especially if it's gusty, is very problematic. The the near 90-degree turn necessary to line up with the runway at the last minute isn't helpful either! They must have been very limited as to locations for this Airport.

      I lived in Ponta Delgada (Azores) in '83 & on the main land In 84. I learned Portuguêse with the Açorean "Micalence" (sp?) accent. I spent some time on Madeira as well. This was BEFORE they had extended the runway to almost double what it is today. Landings had to be exact. The same weather problems existed then. Several years earlier a plane attempting to land dropped below the runway and made full impact with the shear perpendicular cliff where the road is. All onboard were killed.
      Not just Madeira, but all Portuguêse people have a tradition of all passengers clapping upon landing. It was never more appropriate then safely landing here. For takeoff they used a shuttle to back the plane up to end of the runway where they land and back the plane up where the rear wheel were close to the end of the runway. The back of the plane hung out past the end. I was looking straight down with no runway below me. Only a vertical cliff, a road leading to the airport and ocean. The pilot would then set the brakes and throttle up till the brakes reached their limit. They would then pop the brakes and give it all she had. Definitely cool! Just like a Drag Strip.
      BTW Christopher Columbus's wife was the daughter of the King of Madeira. Also, he was taught how to sail by the Portuguese based in Lisbon.

    Came back to watch this video. In retrospect, it reminds me of a time when I was flying in Rota, Spain. I was in the pattern to land and upon turning final, the crosswind component was absolutely nuts for the little Cessna I was flying. I was crabbing a good 50 degrees to try to stay on centerline. I did two go-arounds before the wind died down sufficiently for me to land without having to change my pants afterwards. Great job to the pilots of the big jets in handling these conditions!!

      Oh yes there are. We hit the runway at Kuala Lumpur one stormy night like an Ivan Lendl served ace! The poor 747's wing tips nearly slapped the ground [quick check to see if landing gear shockies were not protruding out the top of the wing] and it seemed like an eternity before the wheels came to the runway again, whereupon the reverse thrust and brakes were applied like you've never seen before, and all while the nose of the aircraft was lurching wildly to and fro from left to right as we managed to shed speed. There was a full on storm going at the time, and I think the poor pilots got ambushed and slammed by a windshear right on flaring out for touch down. Probably about the most memorable 'hairy' landing I can remember - but then there was that night in the 70's, flying from regional Albury-Wodonga to Sydney in the old faithful Fokker Friendship f27, when coming into Sydney the Pilots could not get a gear lock confirmation on the Port Landing Gear, with us flying around in a hold out over Penrith way for Sometime, and both the Pilot an co Pilot taking turns to come down and look through the windows with a torch as the landing gear was lowered and retracted numerous times. Pilots were unsure if it was properly down and locked or whether it would fold on landing. Best thing was, that the mob from Tallangatta Football Club (and who'd been carrying on like kindergarten kiddies who'd had way too much red cordial for most of the flight) were now seriously calm and silent - you could hear a pin drop in that plane right then.
      Any way they eventually went for the landing. We came into Sydney from the western St Peter's aporoach (main Runway), everybody leaning forward on pillows, all the pretty flashing lights of Aviation Fire Services lined up along the taxiways, but the landing was uneventful (but possibly Jesus had a bit of a win with a few souls in the football club mob). 🤣
