There's also the pressure to get to their destination. Diversions mean increased costs for the airline: rebooking passengers, putting them up in hotel rooms at the diverted city, etc. It's a logistical nightmare. But at the end of the day, it's the Captain who makes the call to land or divert, not the airline....and Thank God for that!
@@rw6194 thankfully even today there is no questioning a captains decision because we all know that management/bean counters etc.., could never fully understand the implications of pressing on when clearly not safe
Wow! You know how severe it is when even an A380 looks unstable! Thanks for the upload. Go arounds are so scary to experience, especially after touchdown!
@@Reg121 - it's not a pleasant experience from inside the cabin! I've had a few landings in stormy weather and even for me as a frequent flyer, it doesn't get any easier!
I didn't think twice : Unique situation... Unique conditions... Unique video ......... I take off my hat to the high professionalism of the Pilots ! No more , no less !
This is one of many times where airline pilots earn their keep. This is the type of stuff that separates the men from the boys. No matter your experience and time in type, you have to have nerves of steel and laser focused concentration. You’re watching speed, glide slope/path, flap speeds, and wind trends all the way down to touchdown. Then, you’re also thinking about touchdown point, runway length, runway conditions, and the most effective way to bring the aircraft to a safe and complete stop. It can be like taming a bull at times. But a good pilot always knows that he/she always has an out, a go-around.
Heathrow atc to aircraft just landed: Expedite vacating runway, traffic short final *break break* Emirates92P, fastest tortoise speed, continue approach, traffic vacating runway, and expect one departure before your landing.
I found your channel yesterday and thoroughly enjoyed watching for hours. I didn't even know I liked jets 😃 Thanks for braving the storm to bring us great footage. 🛫🛬🛫🛫
It's not their fault I think we must be glad that they are not risking people's lives. They're doing a great job!! And they are trained to turn around if its not possible to land!!
I was on board of a 787 for a landind in Paris during Ciara winds. Pilots are trained for these situations, but when we have severe gusts, planes can't land.There is a speed wind limit by the manufacturer. When this speed is recorded by the plane, pilot must execute a go around. Is not a training problem, is safety rules. When we have strong winds, the goal is not to land, but to land safely. the best way is sometimes to make a go around or change airport.
Not to mention they had a massive computer problem on-flight over the ocean a few years ago in an A380. They handled it perfectly and everyone landed safely. Mad respect to them.
Perhaps if they had suffered a birdstrike it was just a little safer to take a risky landing than to chance to fly on to Manchester, Munich or Frankfurt which is where the others were diverting to. If Manchester had closed, Germany is a long way to go if you have possible engine damage.
You must have forgotten about Qantas 747 which ran off the end of the runway into the dirt in Bangkok after landing in bad weather! www.atsb.gov.au/publications/2009/behind-the-qf1-investigation/
Rob Paukovits And after having to mess with landing in those challenging conditions, then having to write up the aircraft for an “overweight landing.” That means at the very least a thorough visual inspection of the aircraft by local maintenance, which means at least a few more hours of additional delay - on top of their bird strike or tail strike problem. I’m betting a return to their layover hotel for the crew and an even longer day of travel for the passengers.
W.T. Cortecaes Which would tell me that the wings are generating an ENORMOUS amount of lift in that moment - which is normal and completely necessary when the plane is very heavy and flying slowly like that.
Yes i agree loads of official forms to fill in i guess to the CAA and the airline and of course the passengers had to be sorted as well which is bound to be a headache.
Flew for many years, my sweetie watched me on one of my flights from the control tower in a 🤬fest landing that he was worried wasn't going to make it in very bad weather. Any landing you can walk away from is a good one. Lots of skill and training. Drivers should be so qualified. Believe that👍
Little fact I was in an aer lingus a320 on the taxiway when this happened , we were holding behind a Qantas 787 and then our flight was cancelled so we had to return to stand
Your pictures are clear and in focus. No silly chit chat or “GO ON MY SON” which gets annoying after the first time. Get a cheap van and show big jet tv how it should be done. And give him a windsock to put in his mouth! Lol. I will be watching you before him from now on. Well done (my son)! Haha.
@ 5:11 - that trip 7 outlined against the sky is one sexy aircraft design. On another note, all of these you tube sites that feature in the cockpit videos would be fascinating to see the crews deal with this extremely challenging situation.
They go around due to wind shear alerts,you can see that all of them dont raise the gear after the go around is initiated.In a wind shear it is mandatory that you dont change the landing configuration until the condition goes away.
Qantas landed. Those pilots would land in Perth a lot and if you’re from Perth you know how windy it is here. I worked at Perth Airport for 7 years and winds this strong occurred 3 or 4 times a year and planes still landed. Was fun watching them. Was always expecting one of them to smack into the runway.
great footage, im used to flying but lately im scared , internal fear of flying , but its nice to see safety is first here and either they tried to land and if not safe diverted or tried again ,
Nice video! So refreshing to have just planes and info instead of the utter garbage that comes out of the idiot in the yellow hi vis stood on top of the van! He got so loud and excited, that early on in your video, you can clearly hear his inane shouting, picked up by your mic. Anyway, well done. Hope to see more of your work in the future 😃
I was watching the live stream of Big Jet TV and flight radar. I could swear that the Air Serbia flight from Belgrad flew past Frankfurt at high altitude, but at one point I lost and forgot about it. I thought it diverted to Munich or even flew back to Belgrad. There was a British Airways flight that came from Munich, had some holding over London and flew back to Munich. Greta will not be amused!
(Most of passenger pilots took off after their landing attemps cos of bouncing and plane could of been out of the run way) and Winds were super strong but most of the pilots droped at leats 800mt to 500mt with in seconds just before landing rather than being in more control of the airplane before descending and most Cargo and Passenger planes did really well with their landings, i love pilots with experience and knowledge, i all ways say plan your journey it means see whats ahead of you, there are many experienced pilots have landed their planes with in these weather condotions( this week i just saw few of them ) and most took off after touch down within split seconds or before.
KennyT they had a higher urgency to land due to Bird strike so perhaps they took more risk in committing to land. Interesting combination of events would be if And bird strike And not possible to land at Heathrow. More dangerous buildup of events
lol what about the one from Vienna which had to go back there? and what happens if they are out of reserve fuel and need to land? specially the big birds which are arriving from overseas...
@@mullerstephan With accurate weather forecasts etc., you can be pretty sure that Munich was determined as the alternate airport BEFORE the flight and that the aircraft were fueled accordingly.
@@mullerstephan Most of the go-arounds and divertions are not made due to impossible landing. They do it to take no risks. Moreover, the fuel volume, which They tank on departure depends on weather conditions at the arrival airport.
Im guessing as the plane gets closer to the ground the air between the wing and the ground increases(updraft?). Which makes it harder for the plane to touchdown. Maybe? And im sure the crosswinds dont help either.
I guess the good thing about Britain and Europe is that there are plenty of long runways for diversions. The Qantas flight to Perth wouldn't have had any fuel concerns anyway, could have spent the next 15 hours doing go arounds!
You just gained one more subscriber. Great footage although the subtitled details (very interesting in themselves) would have been better left on-screen longer or a bit larger font size; preferably both to appreciate the airline, aircraft and outcome.
i get easily bored flying, actually very bored, so if there is a bit of turbulence or weather like this it makes the journey something to enjoy. Respect to these pilots, you don't get paid enough.
Good video - pilots really earn their money in landing conditions such as these. Note to the person uploading - the text disappears far too quickly.......
Why is it every time I land on a Qantas flight it’s smooth as butter. Every other international airline they slam it down?? These qantas pilots are unbelievable.
I'm not sure I would even want to be anywhere near the flight path of these planes attempting a landing in such windy conditions! I would still like to see those who made successful landings rather than just all the go-arounds. I can't learn much of anything from go-arounds!
There were a lot of diversions and it might've been the only clear option where they had facilities to easily deal with the customers. When we knew that we'd most likely be diverting before we even pushed back we'd carry more fuel than usual.

So many go arounds! It's insane😯 those pilots got be be well trained for this kind of weather!
Here in Ireland, there were also a lot of go arounds. But yeah they have to be trained

Ohhh I've learned something there, thanks! I'd noticed that they weren't raising the gear and was wondering why, thanks for that comment.
Although the gear generates lots of drag,it would generate even more while it is in transit for retraction or extension.
This was one of the most incredible videos, it shows the pilots' expertise under bad weather conditions.👍👍👍
Qantas pilot, the only one to accomplish such a difficult landing. Well done. 😉
Great editing....got us right to the heart of the title.
Flying from Dublin to Paris in X Plane I definitely felt those winds. Had to go around twice before a hard landing.
Maybe it wasn't the wind at all, on approach all pilots were trying to figure out what the weird yellow blob was, on top of a van :)
