  • talented pilot??? I dnt think so...

  • wait....where was the landing?

  • @andygaro1 u seem to be quite a knowitall...I operate in Africa and I do nt think you ever want to see the storms that form over west Africa where I fly my B737 into. When it comes to windshear there has been an implementation of predictive windshear to reduce weather related incidents and accidents. In no way was I malicious with my previous comments but I think u took offense. I am a CRM instructor so am aware of some crashes related to microbursts. My only concern after watching the clip i

  • Hmm well technically the title is misleading, this wasn't a landing, it was a touch-and-go!!!!

  • As a pilot myself I would not get into that kind of a dangerous situation. Firstly, regardless of how much wind there was, corrections should have been made by 500ft to the wind for a stabilized approach. Also if I would not attempt to make drastic control inputs that would lead to wing tip strikes . Watch at around 35secs into the clip and see the wing tip strike. Good call for a go around...some more playing around and that may have been a wreck.

  • @MrJamzeyP ok mr superman...you've never flown with heavy storms then. as i pilot yourself.....you will...sooner or later ...be forced to land with heavy multidirectional windshear or even Microbursts.....kind of thing a control tower can never warn you about....hope u never will.!!

  • i crapped my pants just watching this..doh!

  • Because flying normally is too mainstream.

  • Read the oficial investigation report of German aviation authorities and Airbus: * The (female) co-pilot decided herself for the go-around - no override * Takeover from (male) pilot was temporary as agreed upfront, second and successful landing again was done by the co-pilot(!) * The go-around rate on this day at this airport was 50% * Plane's operations manuals needed improvement as some info/features relevant for such conditions were not described well enough.

  • That was bad, Glad i wasnt on that flight. Would of been very stupid if he didnt do a go around!.

  • @Superstreak1 she!

  • wow now that is amazing i would have shitted myself on that plane for sure, it's only ever happened to me once and that was flying to edinburgh but it was'nt as bad as that luckily and the plane landed safetly :)

  • criminal pilot? she went for it like all the others before and after her. maybe she had no option (no fuel left for re-attempt). and she had no luck cause she had to cope with what looks like a sudden heavy "windsheer" or even a "microburst"!! i wanted to see you in that kind of situation!

  • Criminal pilots. They should have not tried to land the plane with that strong wind.

    On the other hand, wind actually saved them. When the pilot charged the engines, the strong wind under the flaps gave the plane the advantage to take off.

  • @giovanni1974gr2 Hi Giovanni, you'll find the engines gave them the advantage to carry out the go-around procedure. Good call on the pilot and it looked like a last minute decision. A plan will take off in little or no wind and land likewise. It's the airflow when they're up there that allows them to fly so efficiently.

  • @giovanni1974gr2 there's nothing wrong with in attempting to land in those conditions, they were hit by a sudden gust of wind it all happened so fast you can't possibly see these things coming.

  • cabin crew, arm doors and crosscheck for shit in your pants

  • Like that every time we pull into the Hilo airport...

  • even a paper airplane lands better than that

  • @shirazrazi97 thing called a go around kid

  • she the (co-pilot) who nearly crashed was saved by him (the pilot) seeing the disaster happening

  • wow ~ once in a lifetime

  • 0:37 He almost got fucked by that wind

  • steward before landing: DONT PANIC! DONT PANIC!  steward after attempt: OK PANIC !

  • @andygaro1 haha! Yep...bet people were losing their minds inside of that thing.

  • @thechucker44 mmmh yeah...let's put it that way....there must have been a very unpleasant odour in that airplane for a while !! and to think that the pilot was a lady !! if passengers would have known it was a she...half of them might as well have committed suicide on the spot !! sexist jokes apart....she did a pretty good job! heavy sudden windshire she had to cope with !! ..or even a microburst it could have been....which is a killer!

  • pilot: On the left you can see the runway we will be landing on

  • @alex080297 ha ha ha......

  • Good pilot? Not a bad one, but not a good one either. He should have went around because he had a smaller aircraft and the winds were too great.

  • @base5ballsspilot Its easy for armchair pilot to judge afterwards. Probably those winds were perfectly inside aircrafts limits most of time, it just got caught to big one at bad time.

  • @base5ballsspilot and you know that the winds were 'too great' because you're type-rated in this aircraft and you know the max-crosswind-component/how much crab angle it takes to hold centerline @ MCC? he DID initiate a go-around after that near wing-strike from that nasty gust.

  • @ke0ki2k sorry to interrupt !  she (the pilot) did have a wing strike !!

  • Comment removed

  • that what i call shitting sideways

  • Idiots.....this shows how landings have to be aborted when there is too much wind

  • LOL, FAIL. This is an attempt at a crosswind landing.

  • It's not landing! Poor people who know nothing from aviation say: Amazing! The best pilot! But this is a really bad missed approach! The pilot tried to make a crosswind landing but if the pilot had better he would has restart earlier

  • @abelberegi says somebody who knows nothing about the situation and probably never tried to fly a plane.this was all over the german news, it wasn`t just wind, it was a freakin storm and this pilot is fucking awesome...

  • @abelberegi ok,n'1 it's a she pilot..n'2 that is bollox ..you can descend all the way with heavy crosswinds using the pedals but if at the critical moment when you leave the pedal to straighten up the nose you get a sudden gasp of wind(at ground level often swirling around at opposite directions)that's when you get the plane either tilting to one side or not going down anymore. that airport should have been shut. also you never know how conditions could worsten all of a sudden.easy to talk.....

  • @andygaro1 Can u please tell me how is that a landing

  • @shabassy96 i never said it's a landing ! i only said that the lady pilot was unlucky to get un the last 20 metres a sudden gasp of wind swirling at opposite direction to the one during approach. considrering what happened she did a pretty good job

  • @andygaro1 No No I dont say ur saying that she landed .. but as an overall what was the benefit .. she missed the land and got lost

  • @abelberegi

    It was a burst under the right wing when the tyres hit the runway. How should he know before? He had luck that the wing only scratched the ground and he DID a good job on going for a second attempt immediately.

    And he couldnt stay in the air, as some here suggested, cause due to the storm all nearby airports wer closed or had the same or even worse conditions. Luckily noone died.

  • Are u kidding me?! Amazing pilot! thats the most dumb pilot in history of aviation. Every one knows that if youre on final and it is unstable, YOU HAVE TO GO AROUND. Amazing how he didnt crash.

  • @filmsxplane

    Maybe it's because he's type-rated and has a few thousand more hours than you and so knows better how a 50-million-tonne plane moving within the POH paramaters handles.

  • B-52 bombers could rotate the landing gear so the wheels were straight with the runway while the plane's body could be at some crazy angle.

  • Iiiiam black Y'all!!

  • He (she, as I remember) had not saved but almost killed them.

  • Pull up! Pull up! woot woot Pull up! Pull up! woot woot

  • good choice....obviously had enough fuel.left to reattempt...but sometimes,when there's heavy traffic on the ground and the tower makes u taxi around waiting for take-off slot..that's when the aircraft consumes the most fuel.and also when pilots cannot fly at ideal altitude to get better fuel consumption ...that's what happened at that alitalia md-11 heavy crosswind tough landing video(type in md-11 near crash)..he had no choice than to go for it anyway,that having been a long haul flight.

  • Daaaaammnn!!!...thats the craziest crosswind landing ever!!.

  • *acheivement unlocked* keep it togeather.

  • @goofynewfie12 *achievement unlocked* Top Comment Double Misspelling

  • @goofynewfie12 "achievement unlocked" poop yourself in public

  • Tja, so ist nunmal das richtige Hamburger Schitwetter

  • i flew planes.

  • "The talented pilot saved more than 100 poeple!" No. That wreckless pilot risked the lives of more than 100 people. A safe and responsible pilot would have aborted the landing much sooner than that.

  • @waitin4winter nope he has to try to land..fuel dont last forever

  • @MrDanbel76 Most pilots will have enough fuel for multiple go-arounds as necessary.  If this guy didn't, that's another reason he's a bad pilot.

  • @waitin4winter totally agree

  • @waitin4winter Absolutely

  • @waitin4winter sorry but that is bollox mate...you can descend all the way with heavy crosswinds using the pedals but if at the critical moment when you leave the pedal to straighten up the nose you get a sudden gasp of wind ( at ground level often swirling around at opposite directions) that's when you get the plane either tilting to one side or not going down anymore. that airport should have been shut. also you never know how conditions could worsten all of a sudden. easy to talk.....

  • i luv how at 0:44 forgottt about landing

  • I just LOVE the way all these 'armchair' pilots critiscize! All that body/wing area, all that weight, all that speed and ONE chance to get it right! Crosswind landings always were - and probably always will be - 'different'. :-)

  • Shame he couldnt powerslide it in like Mario Kart!

  • Damn!

  • fast and furiouse...aieroplane drift!

  • Airbus software switched to "ground mode" when the gear touched the ground leading to smaller maximum aileron angels which obstructed an intensive correction command from the pilot. Airbus fixed the bug after that incident.

  • upon touchdown ... aileron should be kept fully into the wind...i do not think that what happend he was probably steering whit the yoke instead of rudder only

  • At least it didnt crash... daym!

  • airplane drifting???chalenge accepted.

  • Comment removed

  • I flew out of LAX once when the Santa Ana's were at their max. I had never been on such a roller coaster of a ride before. It was truely white knuckle.

  • he didn't land .....

  • Should of never even attempted the final ! Amazing, or stupid pilot ?

  • @mrstevehartman When this came out in the news, they asked that same question. What they said was the previous pilots had landed without incident...apparantly why they thought they could also. Seems like when the weather is this bad, they should just close the airport!

  • @bsullivan161 I agree totally, close the airport. As a former student pilot, the rule was that the pilot would make the final decision as to land or abort. Irreguardless of that " Rule ", this pilot pushed it to far and nearly got all their asses waxed for it !

  • @bsullivan161 Why close the airport planes can land in these conditions and the pilots themselves know how strong the wind is and what direction it's going if the pilots can't get her down in strong cross wind they should divert or not be flying depending how strong the wind was i mean even a little cessna can land in 25mph crosswinds if the pilot knows what he's doing.

  • after all, it turned out that it was a SECOND pilot "on the wheel", and it was a young lady......

  • That has to be the best recovery I've ever seen.

    Whoever was flying that plane is not human.

  • That's why women don't make good pilots

  • For all the smart arses posting unqualified comments to this approach, there are only two kinds of pilots in the world: Those who experienced such an approach and those who will....

    (I´m glad, that nobody had been hurt)

  • im not an airplane expert but how is the pilot amazing

  • In heavy crosswinds, always land with the upwind gear first. If you don't, this can happen ...

  • Not a landing.

  • @pauldanon it was a try

  • LOL Initial A xD

  • i'd hate to be the passenger

  • Are you kidding me? Should have gone around right away...very dangerous that far down the runway

  • lol 1,000,000 views and not even 1000 likes

  • the pilot was female!

  • i didnt know Chuck Norris drifted airplanes... that guy is everywhere!!!

  • There must've been hundreds of pilots who landed there that day. I bet this is the only pilot who made one of the airplane's wing touch the runway, almost crashing the plane...

    I can't believe some people call this good piloting.

  • @VicenzoV It was a very stormy day with a windspeed of almost 120 kph. During the final approach shortly before the planes touches down there was a crosswind blast hitting the plane against the normal wind direction. So I would say it was good piloting. But anyway: Try better!

  • sin Crosswind on taguchugarpa

  • Fy fan, jag skulle ha skitit i byxorna om jag suttit i det planet. 

  • oh my god i would have been dying in there....lol oh my god thats scary as hell

  • That was some seriously awesome skills there, i have been in crosswind situations but not in big airliners i give hime props for that well done

  • for everyone saying this was a crap pilot, look at how well he kept that plane in the air. he was going for an attempt because he had no other choice in that weather but to put it down somewhere. if you think he was such a crap pilot then i would then assume you know how to not only fly this plane sideways without crashing but also land it completely straight with a 35 mph crosswind....without even banking. that will be all

  • ¿Piloto talentoso? En primer lugar, ante esas condiciones debería haber procedido a ir a un aerodromo alternativo. Si eso no era posible y tenia que aterrizar... empieza muy bien, metiendo pie contrario y palanca al viento, pero justo antes de la toma el avion se le va por completo en alabeo, y está a punto de estrellarse. No es un piloto talentoso, es un piloto a punto de estrellar su avión y que no lo hace porque Dios cuida de sus criaturas.

  • Crap piloting.

  • I'm glad I'm not on that flight!!! :D

  • this isnt a landing, its a landing attempt with go around, and i agree with imortalass, if the plane is that far sideways over the runway, things arent going well, not an amazing pilot.

  • he didnt land it...

  • Leiber mein hapsmchinky.

  • I have to say that was a nice save to the pilot, dam scary stuff that

  • he shouldn't of even attempted that

  • What landing? lol

  • Awesome piloting....might have been a little doo- doo in some seats though.

  • True, it's amazing how people who don't their butt hole from a hole on the ground talk about stuff they don't know or have limited knowledge about. I've landed planes, from a Cessna 152 all the way to a SuperKing Air 350 in crosswinds and I can say that it's not fun. Landing a plane in such weather is harder than it looks. He did a pretty good job at saving it at the last moment.

  • good skills though

  • i bet that pilot shat himself

  • Love the "screw this" moment at 0:40 when the engine's start chewing up the airfield. Must have sounded incredible.

  • @oceandark

    Your an idiot, he saved 100 people by not crashing the plane. Another pilot would have probably tilt the flaps too much and cause the plane to lose control and kill every one on board.

  • @killem89 So are you some kind of expert in flying a plane????

  • ive been on one of these sorts of landings coming back into gatwick from gran canaria about ten years ago. ive only flown twice since. as we landed eveyone started clapping, i lost years off my life and was soaked in sweat.

  • Can no call pilot amazing when he makes wing touch ground!!

  • @VicenzoV The wings DIDN'T touch the ground.

  • VINCENZO....MA CHE CAZZO DICI?...THE WINGS DID TOUCH.....copy and paste this and see for yourself: watch?v=PWl0TygaeDw&feature=re­lated

  • Comment removed

  • well all i can say to that is "fuck that noise". just about sums it up

  • Sorry but, how did him saved 100 people? I can't see a taxiing, or people leaving the airplane.

  • Ist das das Video, welches in "sorry, wie haben die Landebahn verfehlt" die Rede war? Mit der Co-Pilotin, die landen sollte- und der Kapitän dann im letzten Moment eingegriffen hat? ..hui

  • Three tries for a dollar.....

  • Luckily the turbines spooled up in time for an over shoot and that's what saved a 100 lives. Bet the pilot was on the bosses carpet for a small chat.

  • A female pilot was at the controls - true story

  • SCHEIZE DEUTSCHERS

  • kut duitsers

  • ...where's the landing?

  • More than 100 people ruined their underwear.

  • Amazing pilot???

    shite pilot

  • Wie kann man nur bei solchen Umständen immernoch darauf pochen das ding zu landen und dabei noch viele Menschenleben in eigenhand nehmen?

  • wtf?! "talented pilot saved more than 100 people" ?"?"?

    A talented pilot would know how to make a crosswind landing. Not some stupid chick from lufthansa

  • i pray to god that i get this pilot on my next flight.... so i don't have to worry about crashing

  • watch?v=6est6JZrY5w is really nice!! Thumbs up if you agree! :D

  • @flightgearx amazing reproduction !!!! well done !!

  • I think that qualifies for an OH FUCK moment

  • all people on that plane must have pissed themselves and only 28 of them disliked the video...

  • Chuck Norris would ORDER the wind to stop blowing.........and it would !

  • Who thinks the cabin now smells like feces?

  • alta dis is krasss

  • Waited too long before initiating the go-around, or there was a shear condition that added another challenge to the cokpit crew. Flight controls become ineffective in those conditions. Either way, the aircraft recovered. A good pilot never fears the go-around. It's better to arrive a few minutes late than to risk lives.

  • Except it didn't land! :P

  • Guys that was in germany, it was a lufthansa aircraft. Im from germany and saw the news you will not belive when im telling you that while the plane nearly crashed, the FEMALE co-pilot was flying the plane, then the captain realized that she is messing up pretty hard and took over the control and porbably saving the peoples life with solving that situation.

  • @NaruMikoo FEMALE, that explains it all.

  • @NaruMikoo How is the sex of the co-pilot relevant, you sexist prig?

  • First, a talented pilot would divert or choose a different runway if possible, because the crosswind component was way over the limit. Second, the plane was very unstable at the end of the final, I don't know what was he waiting for, he should have gone around way before hitting the runway with the wingtip. I'd say that's a lucky pilot instead of talented.

  • @kraljich990 How do you know the pilot was a he?

  • @monstahhh12 Oh yeah, I don't know. I should have corrected he or she. I've heard it was she right now.

  • @kraljich990 correction, he or she.

  • @kraljich990 yeah right, like you have the ability to judge from your computer. Outsiders always think they know better.

  • @kraljich990 of course the plane was unstable on the final if there was this crosswind

  • @AirplanesWorld The plane cannot land unstable even if there is a 50kt crosswind or severe turbulence. If the pilot cannot handle the situation, he/she should not land at that airport.

  • @kraljich990 Better your english

  • @AirplanesWorld My English is just fine, looks like you need to improve it.

  • The title of this video is misleading at best.

    Generally, when you land a plane it actually is on the land, No?

    OK THEN How about this? If you were on that plane and the pilot said to you, "were landing in Hamburg in 5 minutes" and 5 minutes later that's what you got, would you feel like maybe the job was not finished yet?

    So you technically have not yet landed have you?

    Change the title to something more truthful.

  • wow some strong fucking wind that!

  • I beg to differ, a talented pilot would have gone around way before that. lucky pilot is more like it.

  • 28 people were in that plane.

  • I hope he got a medal ! Great skills GG

  • That's an amazing pilot, and most people in the comments need to stop trying to tell what the pilot should of done. He did what he should of and called a missed approach before anything wrong happened. Those winds were obviously crazy. The plane's positioning is at a very extreme angle for a crosswind landing. That couldn't of been easy, and the pilot should be awarded for being able to re-take control of the plane like that.

  • i think he should have done more of a forward slip or go around sooner but im inpressed that no one was hurt. i got to give a hats off to the pilot...

  • wheres the fucking landing?

  • what landing.

  • This guy did a fantastic job. And I say that as a former pilot.

  • A real pilot would have aborted the landing when he could see the tail from the cockpit. Not smart.

  • This pilot should have put in more right aleron when they applied left rudder. It looked to me that the pilot was not proficient at cross wind ladings...

  • @bcc541com More like airbus computer system isn't proficient at them... when the wheels touch the ground, the ailerons are limited to 50% maximum deflection.

  • LET'S DO IT AGAIN!

  • He didn't land shit.... Haha

    At least in this video play. Hahahahaha..........

  • chuck norris is a homo

  • Getting bored with chuck norris -.-

    

  • Good choice going around

  • I can say the pilot did grease his pants!!!
