That was a very nice approach, fun to watch. Would have loved to be in the cockpit and watch the pilot deal with it. Fortunately for him, winds calmed down a bit over the runway, except for a little surprise gust at 0:39.
I'd say that was an unacceptable flight path deviation and uncontrolled changes from normal steady state flight conditions and all below 1,000'. I fly 767s. That'd been a required go-around for us if we looked like tht. To each his own but I'd say this, given those changes on short final you either ignored a serious condition and pressed on with a compromised landing or you just weren't fighting it very well. Either way, not good. Talk to the folks on AMR 1420 about trying to force a landing.

That flight crew earned their salary that day for sure. Im assuming it went on toilet roll!!!
Superb video, thanks for sharing it.
At 0:16 it was awesome to see how this king air "jumped" in the wind!!! Great video 5*
I love watching skilled pilots in action :)
What a pilot!! :D
And, at the end, a nice touchdown!!!!
OMG:. windshear ahead.. caution.. great video
Insane!
@etiennedauphin The reason for the calm winds right over the runway is because of a little thing called ground effect.
damn! for a second i thought that was an RC plane.
Whaaaow nice!
Fuck...a strong wind,this pilot is brave :) Nice one bro
What is the registration of this kingair? i would love to see some still pictures of it.
Pilot had to work for that one.
UP,UP,DOWN,UP,LEFT,LEFT,RIGHT,DOWN,RIGHT,LEFT,UP,DOWN,DOWN,RIGHT!!!!!!!
Does anybody knows about the smell inside the plane thereafter ??

@geminijets601
no, the insurance company
very scary video
shouldn't he be landing on one of the other 2 runways with this much crosswind?
