Hey peeps,

first of all sorry for the quality. Tried it out with a new camera. But I guess for true aviation buffs it really doesn't matter. Once more, NO stupid background music.

Imagine this scenario: KMIA ATIS reports winds from 180/19 knots. Low level Windshear advisories in effect.

Couple of fun facts:
- We flew the approach in heading select as we were visual and the ILS was pretty unstable.

- Although you can berely hear it, you can hear the captain call out the crosswinds. At 2000' winds were 180 at 49 knots. 49 knots of crosswinds. Surface winds were 19 knots. Hence the LLWS advisories.

-Due to the advisories we added 15 knots to the approach speed. You notice the extra flare time.

-For those speaking our native language, you can hear the captain instruct me to let her down and us joking about it afterwards.

It was a fun landing. One we don't see too often.
