BOMB CYCLONE Hits Seattle: Southwest 737 MAX TURBULENT Landing

[@sphere453]

Good job Pilot landed on the first try.. I saw a private jet on Flightradar24 try 2 times to land at Boeing Field that windy night

@@sphere453 certainly, top notch airmanship by Southwest crew!

I was trying to find this all as I seen so many planes fly over my house even though the winds were crazy now I finally get to know how bad it is up there

Is the 737 Max flying I thought they are grounded ??

[@pilotjett4711]

@@davidlusale1710 no longer grounded after FAA authorized the MCAS fix. Also we were on 737-8 Max that doesn't have a door plug.

@ Oh good you made it . Thanks

I was working a regional flight that night and ended up going around and diverting.
By the second try we'd lost all but 12 of our passengers, and 8 of them were non-revs. I guess people figured it wasn't worth it!
Second arrival we got a windshear warning around 300 feet, mandatory go around again. Third try we made it in.
I had tennis elbow the next day from working the yoke all night. 😂

Just put on the auto pilot.

Too turbulent near the ground, I disconnected early because it was not going to handle it.

@@EnDSchultz1 Great work and ADM. Diversion and go arounds are part of the business but glad you were able to get the plane into SeaTac. Definitely earned your pay operating in challenging conditions this week.
