TBM 700 approach and landing in ugly turbulence

Approach and landing in the TBM 700 during a bad weather day. Planes ahead were reporting +/- 20 knot low level windshear at 200'.

In some ways the video doesn't do justice to how bumpy it actually was since the camera was fixed to the glareshield and therefore moved with the plane as it got tossed around. The experience was a little more exciting for the people on board...

Your experience and professionalism really show! I'd fly with you any day!

Agreed! That was really well done. And how thoroughly modern of you to replace your copilot with an iPhone. :) (Well, I have no evidence that it was an iPhone, but it's a nice video!)

@ArmandStanger Because he's a smart pilot and knows what he's doing. Those are PAPI lights as others have said, and in conditions like these you want a little extra power and a little extra speed. Landing long in conditions like these is a good thing.

Right on center line to boot. Nice work!
