Windy Landing in Bilbao 2009-FEB-09

[ClyderSkyner]

There was a plan to build the Bilbao airport a few miles north to its actual location, near the shoreline. But they finally choose to built it at Sondika/Loiu area, witch is wide open and safe, but there use to be foggy weather and crosswind there.

[Swissman81]

heeelllll of a pilot!!! hellwell done!

[shallowsouthernman]

He didn't have his ground effect stablizers on.

[orangealex17]

I have flown into Bilbao twice, 1st time, very smooth descent and landing, second was a night flight, and it was a very smooth cruise, but then was a very very rough approach as we broke through the clouds, and windy and turbulent landing! I was scared!

[toutatis12]

Thought for sure there was going to be a go-around there.

[TheTourlous]

This vids could have been used as an add for ''I've craped my panths'' underwear.

[masta500000]

that was fucking good skills

[M60A3commander]

Had the pilot powered up the fuselage actuators while trimming the cross-wind sensors (referred to by commercially rated pilots as 'going lean') the plane would have landed perfectly. I am surprised neither measure was attempted.

[projectsaa3]

Amazing pilot? WTF is so amazing about exceeding the airframe crosswind limitation? What third world POS airline is that so I make sure I never fly on them. I can haz pilot license? Sure anyone with money can haz pilots license!

[JustPlaneCrazy86]

Go around should have been called at time 0:16/17.

[kartikmig21]

nice touchdown

[PALLEN8112]

The cleaners would now have brown exrement to wipe off the seat if I was on that plane

[Nameless742]

I wish I could fly a plane.

Landing like that would be a scary thought if something went wrong

[pakkinen]

you can see this and another amazing landing the same day here---> enter in search sjRPR9Rwdk4

[chick5581]

Wow. Your video is really clear. Whenever I upload videos onto youtube, it never comes out that clear. What did you do differently?

[upaste]

amazing pilot...landing in high crosswind is extremely difficult and it takes a lot of skill and experience.

[kyokofull]

THAT"S A GENIUS PILOT!!!

[file83]

What's the maximum amount of angle offset a plane like that can land with? 15°? 30°?

[wavefool]

Its called cross wind coefficient and it varies with the aircraft. Generally the larger the aircraft the higher the number. F18C 38deg, J-3 Cub 18deg, Falcon 10 20deg.

Crosswind angle is directly proportionate to wind speed The greater the wind the greater the angle. Crosswinds are fun and easy(after 20 or so years of practice), peace.

[CUBANO76]

damn, pilots have balls of steel.

[mojo489]

damn good pilot...

I've landed (piloted) in a few crosswind landings. That pilot is ace.

[uspm4a1]

gotta love basement dwellers on youtube trying to teach experts how to fly planes.

[Mobius1ac]

here's a suggestion 35c....don't try to sound like an expert on something you have NO KNOWLEDGE on. and you won't make yourself seem like a 5 year old retard.

[TheFitConnection]

The must have been a scary landing!

[whitecollarcriminal]

Awesome Pilot

[test6]

That must have looked amazing from inside the plane. It would be just like being in a space ship landing.. Or a helicopter. You'd be looking out the window waiting to land and next thing you know you'd be stopped above the ground as if the pilot put the brakes on, and stopped in mid air, Just sitting there, LOL. maybe a little scary, but still neat.

[dashpower]

That was a horrible landing. Those pilots weren't great. They used the improper cross wind landing technique and those types of airplanes are not designed with that much crab in the landing. It was an unstable approach and they certainly should have gone around. They did not have to land that airplane on that approach.

[EZdick1234]

That pilot has 25 years experience and flew had clearance from the control tower to land that plane. The control tower knows better than the pilot the conditions on the ground. So unless you were working in the control tower that day, you would probably shut up...

[wavefool]

Just curious which "landing technique" would you have used??

[ftw997]

...morons.. pilots are trained for crosswind landings. It happens a lot. Stop acting like they've never encountered this before.

[theonly1daniel1]

wow

[xjh13x]

def great flying, that plane could of flipped so easily if it was anymore off

[onlyu55i]

speak English mutha fuckkkaaaa

[DrMattDestruction]

learn how to use commas, person.

[Diablo123owns]

comma my hair please!!

[stephenredman]

My Dad was on this plane, he said it didn't seem as bad as this looked!

[thesadtruthliveson]

that pilot is a hero !

[inertiaMS]

had that bitch on full lock bouncing off the limiter

[gindaer]

nice landing

[Odenkay]

Wow, great flying.

[SHoliday002]

ZOMG This video is sooo phucking FAKE ! This is all done with CGI trickery you clown shoes !

[Yarousz]

RESPECT for the pilot!

[Chick6517]

This is an awesome video! There needs to be more videos like this!!! Theres a lot of videos out there that are a whole bunch of nonsense now a days. Can you upload some more?

[sfcoco1]

watch " max kd drive"

[Bocbo]

The pilot is doing fine after a two hour surgery to extract the seat cushion from his ass, pucker factor 10+.

[trex250]

Why is it that we that have a fear of flying (fear of crashing is I would call it) always watch videos like this even though it has a happy ending?

[fatmoleman]

Gotta love that rudder.

[ArthurSpooner007]

good job next time they will practice backwards landing.

[rundoetx]

Great job by the pilot

[in2food]

Unreal that the landing gear can withstand the torque of hitting the runway sideways with that much weight and speed.

[wagner55]

yep! that's why landing gears and engines are the strongest parts on planes/aircrafts.

[frekijsimpson]

sweet landing!!!

[coolvr4]

I'll bet they cleaned a lot of upholstery after that landing.

[Mshine67]

I would have been looking out the side window thinking, uh the runway is over there, why are we pointed that way?? LOL.. Nice job though and hope I don;t have one of these anytime soon!

[WolfDream0xo]

This makes one reconsider the window seat.

[kevinkahomusic]

bloody hell, thats scary! but pretty safe landing considering the situation ~

[goonboy72]

thats why i'm glad women don't pilot aeroplanes!

[Mattew1999]

Amen to that.

[reaperofdeath1337]

LOL ive been on that airport

[EquivocallyAbsurd]

Wow, my ass would be sucking up the seat cushion.

[saab1255]

good pliot...

[ktokyo]

well done!

[TTOIA]

holy shit. glad I wasn't on that plane

[entersilenthill]

Theres some really talented pilots out there good job.

[lianf256]

好险！

[oederdekoe]

Yeah! that's how u land! :D

Nice skills the pilot have

[chick7489]

How do you do that? Lol, can someone teach me because I would love to be able to do that. haha! Nice Vid..

[steamburn123]

that's wild landing.

[lilmaz]

thats talent
