@NeveruN Ground effect has nothing to do with wind. It has to do, primarily, with the ground preventing wingtip vorticies from reaching the upper surface of the wing. This prevents the vorticies from destroying lift at the wingtips, thereby "creating" more lift. The lighter winds at the surface is most likely due to the wind being blocked by obstacles such as buildings or trees.

That was nuts. Fantastic job to the pilot!

@etiennedauphin The reason for the calm winds right over the runway is because of a little thing called ground effect.

That flight crew earned their salary that day for sure. Im assuming it went on toilet roll!!!
Superb video, thanks for sharing it.

Fuck...a strong wind,this pilot is brave :) Nice one bro

damn! for a second i thought that was an RC plane.

Whaaaow nice!
-
Awesome video! The pilots must have had some stress!
-
Does anybody knows about the smell inside the plane thereafter ??

That was a very nice approach, fun to watch. Would have loved to be in the cockpit and watch the pilot deal with it. Fortunately for him, winds calmed down a bit over the runway, except for a little surprise gust at 0:39.
At 0:16 it was awesome to see how this king air "jumped" in the wind!!! Great video 5*
