The good decisions are the ones that go around and try again, if you don't like it get out of there and do it again. Hats off to all the pilots that try to land and take of in those conditions.
Sure, and ofc it's the pilots call to proceed with the landing or abandon it, but imagine being afraid to fly, having to land in these conditions, seeing the runway through your window IN FRONT OF YOU and then: 4:30 . You thank whatever supernatural entity you believe in for having made it alive, are relieved that the plane is on the ground, and then: NOPE, TO/GA and the same again. That's just plain cruel.
@@brkr78 Yeah, maybe, but it is better to have to do it again and survive when the pilot makes the right call to go around. There is no shame in it and your passengers and aircraft are still in one piece and not scattered all over the ground. I dare say a lot of the people on these aircraft were not very happy or even scared, but I would rather do it again and survive it, even though I was scared shitless! Yeah, I feel for those that are scared to fly, but if they were on one of those aircraft and they landed safely it might help them, or put them totally the other way and never fly again. I don't think I would like to be on one, but I am the type that would probably go.
bob fourjs My brother died at the hands of a student pilot who made a mistake learning LAPES because "Going around again" was rejected as a human error and who knows maybe personal flaw to be recorded in their training record, at the time. So I can fully agree with you, probably the other five ppl who perished at that time would, as well. Better Safe than sorry is more precious to me than higher chance of death, so Im partial to that.
The skills of pilots, their confidence that came from experience and the sense of what they could and could NOT do is amazing at the least. Great pilots. We have to be eternally thankful to them.
I wouldn't say so! How about the case when russian pilot gave his son to rule a steering wheel and he crashed the plane down and everybody on that plane died! Maybe it's only russian pilots incompetent, I don't know.
@@kcmn0089 Well same for bus drivers or train drivers right? If I have my stats right, airplanes are the safest form of transport so actually they have less risk on their job...
@@mrbignose888 Still, it takes a lot more skill to learn how to be a good pilot. I have a cousin who is a pilot and my brother in law is a train driver. To become a train driver he didn't require a special degree or course, just 8 months of training. My cousin on the other hand had to take specific (very expensive) course, followed by years and years of training.
Bruh are you being sarcastic?? Cah i cant really tell. These pilots went though hell (school) for so many years to get to where they are rn, have some respect.
Awesome stuff. Massive respect to all those flight crew.I can't imagine what it must have been like for the pilots, looking out of the side windows to get it on the ground. Thanks for sharing this video.
It couldn't have been much fun for the passengers either. I remember being on a flight trying to land in heavy fog before aborting at the second attempt to another airport. Some passengers were being sick with fear.
This is typical of U.K. runways constructed during WW2 then extended for the first jet era and extended again for the wide body era. Ideal they should be flat ( but with very subtle slopes for drainage) (Eg Dublin new runway under construction in 2020) but the international regulations also allow for slopes up to a maximum gradient and also a maximum rate -of -change of gradient. The tight photo angle also exaggerates any slopes.
Thank you for posting these videos. It is important that passengers realize just how skilled and amazing their pilots are and how much we have to be grateful to them, instead of complaining all the time. Great respect for the dudettes and dudes who landed these planes. ACE pilots.
Gives the terms "getting sideways" and "touch and go" an added dimension. Credit to those pilots who chose to abort and do a go-around when they had sweaty palms on the stick, or were called off by ATC!
@@pacemakerkiprunner5283 : It's OK. Rotary wing aircraft are very well adapted at flying sideways. Watch some of the videos of the AH-64 performing aerobatics. Very impressive!
4:24 - Flying upside; that's how strong Ciara was. Seriously. We are behind our computer monitor watching this (and perhaps smiling), but just imagine you are a pilot and you have dozens of people sitting in their seats behind you that you are reponsible for. Respect for all those pilots.
@ Robert Phillips , you know the landing is going to be tricky when the passengers halfway back in the cabin can see the runway out the side window better than you can in the cockpit because you are crabbing in ( sideways) on heavy crosswinds..., lol, good post my friend
I hate flying but have to do it every year for those holidays abroad and if I was on them planes I would be screaming like a bitch , just go`s to show them pilots have to have nerves of steel .
@@YorkieLad it's routine for them. Doing the same things for 10 years makes you more confident about it and you don't shit your pants. In fact if you are afraid in an emergency, the airline will probably fire you cause it is most vital to remain calm when for example an engine blows out or something unexpected happens
I like listening to the control tower at my local airport on windy days, usually they try it once and then divert, but you can tell how pleased they are with themselves when they stick it. 😁
Christ isn't just a throwaway name to use without thought. Consider Calvary and all He suffered. Then take on board His resurrection and the empty tomb He left behind. History is His story. What will history make of you and I? More to the point, when this short life is over, the only thing that will matter is how we responded to the One who overcame death. Something to consider, that is! As Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth and the life. No man comes to the Father but by me." That really IS something for the thoughtful person to think over...
No matter how heavy u are....once u Glide/Float in Air/ Water....u r at the mercy of floating medium P.s - I m Marine Deck Officer Loaded VLCCs weighing 1000 times of A380 r tossed around like toys in rough seas 😃😃
@@flyerbob124 That's one side of the story. With a fully articulated rotor, a sudden unloading of the rotor might with some helis cause the rotor to go unstable, though. Mastbumping is no a desirable thing to happen. It's not *all* that easy. The pilots know what they let themselves into, though
We had a one legged pilot that I used to work with and he could set a helicopter down on a dime. There were so many times when I had to go up in the helicopter to take aerial photos and the only thing holding me in was the harness because he didn't believe in putting the doors on. He said doors were for wimps. Would bank that helicopter so far on my side I thought for sure I would fall out. Thank God my camera was on a strap around my neck. Best pilot I ever flew with.
Are the landing wheels capable of rotating to counter the angle of the plane on touch down? some of these are so sideways you'd think the wheels would tear off if not.
Yes but even the most experienced pilot couldn’t made a good landing, yes they do landed, maybe bc “external pressure” bc for all the airlines ppl are just $€£ so they MUST landed🤬 Imagine how those passengers felt inside that big and heavy plane going unstable to the right-left feeling the pilot trying to get control just in the most dangerous part of a flight. Happy that this ended fine B”H
Those are some excellent pilots who can not only land their planes in horrible conditions but know when a go-around is necessary for the safety of the aircraft and passengers on board. Hat's off to all of them!
That was fun to watch. Those planes struggling so much to land and take off. Especially the the A380. It looked like it took off from the side of the runway....
@Daniel Washford: "Autopilot" mode is usually not engaged until the takeoff, and the initial departure from the airport airspace, is completed. It is always a "hands on" type of procedure during the takeoff and landing phase of any flight. There are many videos here on TH-cam that will provide an accurate, intuitive understanding of those procedures. Good day to you.
We were on a Southwest flight that was almost like this. The entire plane broke out in loud applause after a very nerve-wracking safe landing. We loved that pilot. Very skilled.
Outstanding flight skills & decisions by pilots on go arounds when needed/called for, i started my career majoring in aviation in 1982, pilots will know what i am speaking of, but for those who are not pilots, in these conditions, imagine trying to control a hand made paper airplane thrown at a ceiling fan switched on high, very similar, great video
Landed like your first plane in video only in Wyoming one morning. Only person who knew how nervous I was Is the lady that does my laundry. Another great video Mr Phillips tks
Pilot - “I’m bored - let’s try taking off sideways for a change!” ATC - “Cleared for takeoff, maintain runway heading and climb to flight level two zero” Pilot - “Cleared for take off, but I’ll use heading 30degrees off runway heading if that’s OK with you” You must have a camera with a very good frames/second to catch the heli’s blades so clearly!
Remembering one domestic flight in NZ where suddenly the pilot said there's a storm right front and unfortunately we have to fly through it. Mountains everywhere so we could not escape. Followed 20 min of well....I survived it. Enough said.
If you could see the look on their faces though. If those windows were open you would hear some serious screaming. Hope those people packed some extra underwear.
A few overshoots! People just don't know what an overshoot means! It asks a lot of "sang froid" of the pilots! Make the right decision in a few seconds! :( Very impressive video! Thanks for sharing! I was an airhostess & wife of an airline captain for 21 years...I was the youngest stewardess ever to be accepted in KLM...I was only 19 & I loved every day of my carreer in the skies...My ex was born to fly! He was a champion & I loved him for it!
Actually, for most of the ATP's that work for the airlines, these kinds of takeoffs and landings are a true test of their abilities. It gets the heart really pumping, and then there is the satisfaction of a job well done. As a private pilot, and aerobatic rated, it is quite a thrill to me personally to be able to venture from the boredom of the average commercial flight and to be able to shout out an occasional "Waahoo" during these kinds of takeoffs and landings! I LOVE it!!
These landings are incredible, including the one with a touch-and-go taking a decision in mere seconds for security sake, at a time where everyone's talking about autopilot, auto landing and so on, this is exactly the situation where you want great pilots on the cockpit!
My admiration goes out to all pilots who had to cope with these conditions. We landed mid morning on Sunday 9th at Bournemouth, all I can say is "wow" and thankyou for a safe landing.
At SFO (san francisco international) there used to be two 747 flights to Asia around lunchtime. You got there early and parked in long term parking. They would fly right over the car park and you felt like you could touch them they were so low. The roar, sheer size, and display of power was incredible. The shaking would set off car alarms. What a rush. And you only had to pay for a 1/2 hour of parking the first 1/2 hour was free.
So scary, the first time I went flying in a little piper warrior 2 we had to land like this but damn sure I went back up again! Kudos to those pilots for the skill
Nonsense. No computer can land you in crosswinds like this if you don't have the skills. Autopilot will be completely off for the pilot to make the landing successfully. This is why most airlines require the pilots to always land manually to keep their skills for times like this!
when the passengers have a better view of the centre line than the pilot.....

skid and scrape. I think
Skid for a few seconds
A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!! Great shots, amazing incredible handling by the pilots. Great video!
Thanks Miguel 👍
"Runway heading"... wow! Great camerawork.
Those times you want a experienced pilot when you fly. Thank you.👍
Wow. Just shows how well trained all pilots are nowadays
Well done Aer Lingus pilots. The safest airline and best pilots in the world.
Great video, that was challenging for the pilots
Why is Birmingham's runway doing the wave?
I push my Tesco trolley at the same angle to get it round corner but Jesus H Christ.. deadly!!!!!
Hahahahahaha I die laughing lol
🤣🤣🤣
really awesome footage, cracking!
So scary, the first time I went flying in a little piper warrior 2 we had to land like this but damn sure I went back up again! Kudos to those pilots for the skill
Thanks for watching? Thanks for filming!
Nice Video Bro!!!!
Dafydd thank you for the video. I was the captain on that a380 take off. Great video thanks
You made it look to easy 🎓✈️👍
WTF, who has build that runway... looks like a roller coaster.
It's just a visual effect. it's straight and flat.
Fantastic skills at landing and departing in conditions like that! Awesome video Dafydd!
Watching from Australia
That was really interesting. The pilots and there computers built into the plane do a amazing job.
Thanks for sharing👍👍
Thanks for watching ✈️👍
Just a note. Landings on days like that are all hand flown. No autopilot can do what they were doing.
Nonsense. No computer can land you in crosswinds like this if you don't have the skills. Autopilot will be completely off for the pilot to make the landing successfully.
This is why most airlines require the pilots to always land manually to keep their skills for times like this!
My first thought was nothing. My mind was blank, totally glued to the screen.
