  • Great execution for crosswind landing. I love the touch of just enough rudder to swing it back just before it sank down on to the runway. Now that is skill.....all the way! Superb.

  • Great pilot skills !

  • Pouso perfeito, isso prova o quanto os pilotos da British Airways são excelentes!

    Parabéns!

    Use the translate.google.com, from portuguese to your language!

  • We are the best pilots, sailors, drivers, etc etc.

  • There a number of similar videos on YouTube of an A380 doing crosswind testing at Keflavik Airport in Iceland. Test pilots make it look soooo easy :)

  • Now THATS a pilot!! Job well done captain!!

  • And thats why they are payed so much!

    Money well earned!

  • For those trying to claim this is Autoland. It is not. No pilot trusts a landing in such winds to the computer. Additionally, Autoland has a limit of 15 Knots. Autoland is for low visibility where a pilot cannot possibly see / know what is going on, it is NOT to make up for "inability". What is beautiful about this landing is that it was done entirely with passenger comfort in mind, you could do this with far less effort, but far less comfortably.

  • @kalahiki808 Ah yes, that makes sense....thankyou!!

  • @outfromtheshadows if the airplane is straight with the runway on approach, and there is significant wind speed coming from a certain direction, it will blow the plane off course. so they steer into the wind, maintaining whatever speed they need to still be lined up with the runway so they can land safely

  • Why do they do that "crab" thing? Beautiful landing!
