Crosswind Landing at LAX

[xxkevinxx323]

LIKE A BOSS

[MrSTRIKER52]

I was there on that very day! Pretty scary how that BA was com in in

[lenny820]

people take pilot's for granted but holy shit like some of them are just unreal at there job and this is a perfect example...

[JADEAV]

I am not satisifing with your filming! You paged and cutted right before they landed!!...nonsense!

[kfkgj]

British Airways came like a beast...AWSUMM!!!

[datsniggawater]

what street and what part of lax u in

[bfrichards]

Ontario International, about a hour and half drive from LAX, is just as bad and some days worst. The pilot on mine got it on the first try in 20+ mph with 45+ gusts. Damn Santa Ana's.

[woodfern909]

Great video! Thank you!

[samthelittleman1]

that is a prety rare sight tp see a strong crosswind at lax

[smartkid1985]

@0:37 That looked like a concorde for a QUICK second.

[HamburgAirport]

The passengers have a nice cockpit view! :)

[777pusher]

I suddenly find myself craving an In and Out burger......

[MrGeneralKenobi]

UNITED!!!!

[mathewjordan1993]

I can do that landing in X- plane

[ProductionJack]

@mathewjordan1993 X-Plane is a game! It is different when you have 100's of Passengers to care for!

[mathewjordan1993]

Im suprised the Alaska mad dog (MD-83) didnt make it if the AA one did. The pilot was probably a pussy

[MrExspert]

Going around doesn't make the guy a "pussy". Wind conditions change for each landing aircraft, so he may have experienced something the AA guy didn't.

[ProductionJack]

@mathewjordan1993 lol! I can garantee he is a better Pilot than you will ever be! I dont understand how you as a 17 year old can critisise a fully trained commercial Pilot!

[jonstewartforprez]

Damn, that last 747 was a hard landing....

[homiegflyer]

that 747 landing was way to hard

[darker91]

One of the best videos of landings I've seen in a long time. Most people don't know about this type of landing

[NellsStuff]

Looking at this again, why in the wide world of sports is the approach to darn close to heavy car traffic?? What was there first, the airport or the road??

[Albanwinter]

@NellsStuff The roads and the airport were right around the same time. Road traffic just became more heavy. LAX along with a couple other airports [which ones escape me at the moment] also have runways that actually go over roadways because when more plane traffic was added they had nowhere else to add a longer runway. The city where I live became part of the flight path in recent years when weather is bad at LAX. The joke at our house is "I hear a plane, must be foggy at the coast."

[NellsStuff]

remind me not to buy a house near that place...

[den220]

Before car drifting, there was crosswind landings

[bac102b737b747]

THE BEST LANDING was made by the BA 747 400... absolutely magnificent

[Fuzzxxxcore]

you know its bad when the pax can see the runway....

[TOPGUNCANADA00]

WOW that DC-9 i think it was at 2:14 missed like 3 times, did it ever land? or did they ask in passengers if they had more experience lol

[Coasterrider210]

landing in crosswind? no thanks!

[KartKing4ever]

that 747 had a hard landing

[BigCockvanHugenDong]

Is this near the In-N-Out? If so, I suggest that you go on top of the parking garage, it is one of the best places to watch

[iryan74656]

Is that The B747-400 From London ? at 3:54

[chillaxer1993]

at 1:00 was that a 777?

[FlyingWing92]

yep that was a 777. I think thats even an Eva Airlines to be exact.

[djpeterz]

The nose to wind is a common practice during cross-wind landing, the airplane is back on course during flare or even touchdown.

[peteboy1113]

woo billy boy -the 747-400. from london, man o man. what a landing. hey take new ones, please.

[BNSFFREAK747]

For a small plane that Southwest sure did handle the crosswind rather well. The Alaska airline pilots also did a great job showing how it's done. Of course the BA pilots didn't have a problem as they are some of the best in the world.

[chereauchereau]

I thought the BA landing was very bumby, and Aer Lingus are the best pilots in the world.

[BNSFFREAK747]

Good ol Aer Lingus. I've never flown on them but I've heard nothing but good things about them. Not to mention its my favorite color scheme on an aircraft.

[peteboy1113]

yes -lucky green.

[aviationwingnut]

That had to have been one HELL of a crosswind to shove a 747 around like that. Great shots.

[eggyfloopy21]

awesome vid!!! Gotta love crosswind landings!

[honestintentions17]

awsome vid, what speed were the winds if u know?

[GinoRc]

Great video thanks!

[Viperfang9]

yaaaaaa southwest airlines kicks ass!

[boyleman17]

that southwest airlines 737 looked comfortable doing that crosswind

[adw28productions]

agreed.

[bluefunkybassman]

Great video!

[dnhug]

is this near the in 'n out burger , init?

cheers

[thomasfy4]

good burgers there

[Viperfang9]

lol true...

[tornado909]

[FEDEXMD11]

We just hate those days!

[TopGunPilot01]

[stockhus]

Amazing!

[bertold12345]

Jeruna dobrze ,że edek mo reflexa

[AdamJLemon]

Man, I used to live in Marina Del Rey and I have NEVER seen the winds at LAX that bad. Those poor AA MD-80 pilots were having a tough time with it.

[kavishdhiman]

ummm....well........747 did a shitty landing......haha.......i think d united 1 at 3:11 did a gr8 landing

[lNoxtam]

It did not, in fact the 747 was one of the better landings in that video.

[Justyman87]

That was amazing.

[rkjeldgaard]

2 thumbs up to the pilots!!!!

[Kristy171988]

Nice vid

[juankk91]

I agree too, and by the way, cool video you posted. Keep doing that kind of videos.

[nobushiryodang]

すごいねぇｗ

[11nufc11]

i agree

[firelog1101]

Pilots flying 747-400's are usually the best the airline company has, not surprising that landing was constructed so well.

[chanm910]

The British Airways 747 is a magnificent aircraft.

[hbcrazyman]

that last british 747 was nuts. the landing was literaly perfect

[flyboyz83]

That's what some of the best training in the world gets you! BA are FAB! I love those guys!

[KBWB5]

looks scary as hell att 3:10

[albquez]

dats when you pilots earn your pay.and not when your banging dat stewardes at the days inn

[pilotmolina]

Landin at crosswinds is hard, dangerous but a hell of a lot of fun.

[WillBePilot]

Geeeeeeeee I love this big bird at the end !!!!!!thanks for the time taping this nice video man !!

[ASSHOLESHITBITCXH]

hi, how do you put all of these videos to make one short movie? and how do you make it so it can be on u tube?

[222delta]

i agree the pilots in the 747 are realy good at flying

[jasonsli]

dang, that's tough!

[aflem1]

Woah, never seen such strong crosswinds at KLAX. Ausome Vid!

[Jerrycobra]

wow, i never knew we had such nasty crosswinds, gotta go to lax on a windy day

[Dudeboy4000]

that BA 744 really smoked that landing ^_^

[loubli]

NO ILS!

YES VISUAL!

\o/

lol

[adlsp]

Good upload.....thanks

[pakistani1982]

hey nicely done..those were some hard approaches..

[keberzded]

they are a ILS lights ILS = glide slope and localizer and the are a glide slope light.

great vedeo thanks!!!

[Acepilot2k7]

nice video

[B787YV]

Wow the last one was hard

[IADaveMark]

subtitle: "Planes flying sideways!"

[mjmojo72]

those are for the most part standard crosswind landings that you are taught in flight training with you cfi. not very dangerouse . and the lights on the pole are are part of precision landing lights for the runway

[eamicr]

Nice work

[s0s1mpl3]

what are those poles with the lights on them. i dont know what they are. can someone tell me?

[mjmojo72]

they are are lights yes and they are part of the ils precisoin landing system . they mark the beging of the runway in sometimes on two or three straight lines leading to the runway.

[s0s1mpl3]

i would love to just stand outside of LAX and just watch planes take-off and land all day. its just amazing to me!!!!

[jorgelmartinez18]

DAMN!!! Talk about some hard approaches at LAX. Some of those planes were so close to the freakin' Glide Slope that it looked like they were gonna a piece of one of the linings on the way down.

[dkorda]

wooooowie!

[keyz7777]

nice!

[RicardoNY1]

Two AA MD-80 go arounds!........right place at the right time....nice! That BA? 47 landed nice and hard. Excellent video

[conspiracydj]

awesome.. good one

[ccholo]

cool video dude

[duranelton]

awsome vid!

[ibook133]

Crazy!

[Martins219]

Tough Breeze.

[b748i]

that was cool!!! the BA 744 landed pretty hard!

[jfavignano]

Awesome video!

[CharLieTj]

Wish to be there =), it is not that common isn't?

[mainstream69]

they're flying sideways

[GregEbnit]

Nice Vid the Pilots/Copilots and ATC sure were earning theyre money that day. Whoohoo hang on.

[evilshowerhead]

i remember that day, it was my birthday!, it was sooooo windy. the wind in my area was about 30-40 mph. we saw some lady that got blown over in the street and they had to call an ambulance for her.

[mldarby77]

Any idea how strong the wind was that day?

[Andres19915544254521]

awesome.!;)

[worminator40]

I thought that was a one of the reasons they have multiple runways at the airport?

[elitemarksman89]

Look at the area LAX is in. There is no room for a runway to accommodate crosswinds, therefore, pilots need to come in at and angle and crab just before touchdown.

[recossatis]

boaaaa

[filipeusa]

um dia eu vou saber filmar assim....

[jcb74]

Thanks for this!

[mmartoni]

Awesome video bud!

[djsterios]
