Apologies for the wind noise , i had the wind shield (dead cat) but 45+ miles/hour wind 💨 😂

[@loftusw1212]

No apologies needed. Understandable. Fair play and thanks for being out there so we can watch in comfort. 👍😎

[@RankupAviation]

@ much appreciated 👍

[@NecessaryDramaAddictionNDA]

Great stream I enjoyed immensely

[@StarrKnight]

I was on this plane.... it was just as frightening on the plane as it looks watching from the outside...

[@RankupAviation]

@ it looked scary from out there but I would never travel in such weather. Too scared 😱 hhhh. But the pilots are so skilled and experienced .

[@lucaas]

Awesome captures, well done! Would you be okay with me featuring one or two of these landings in my series Weekly Dose of Aviation? Of course you will be credited both in the video and in the description. Thanks!

[@RankupAviation]

Thank you for your kind words! I’m glad you enjoyed the captures. I’d be happy for you to feature one or two of these landings in your videos. . Could you also share a link to your series so I can check it out? Please let me know if you need any further details from my end.

[@markcardwell]

Nice Thx

[@AngieHP]

The skill of the pilots to know when to go around! Amazing training and experience!

[@RankupAviation]

💯 % agree, they have so much responsibility . Passengers on board and people on ground

[@billionbear]

I enjoyed watching this live yesterday.

[@RankupAviation]

@@billionbear glad you liked it 🥰. Thank you so much for your support and kind words

[@donnaweston7697]

Hope you all got home safe and warmed up quickly. Brilliant job yesterday filming at Gatwick. It was appreciated 🎉🎉

[@RankupAviation]

@@donnaweston7697 I am truly blessed to receive such love and support ☺️. I did sprained my ankle on my way back 🤣 all day in A&E today but honestly it was all worth it. I meet so many amazing people. Will be back soon from LCY

Great!! Thank u for trusting me to be a mod RankUp :)

[@tango6nf477]

100+10 Percent respect for Pilots and Aircrew imagine the tension and concentration on the flight deck and the fear of the Passengers the Cabin Crew trying to keep them calm, great people.

[@RankupAviation]

Absolutely agreed, hats off to the pilots and crew over all. imagine those pilots having responsibility of over 200 people and even more on the 777, 350 and A380 🤩

[@sabinelandau2330]

Absolutely! What skills and nerve of steel these pilots have. The crew probably going through the emergency drill, the passengers sweating and holding on to their seats. Glad I wasn't on any of those planes.

[@PLANEMANIA747]

Wow😮😮 Thank you so much for sharing ❤

[@WalksInCamera]

Thanks for editing together these 'go-around' highlights. Great filming yesterday. I think the highlight of the livestream was the ATR and Dash-8 landings. Must've been rough for the passengers though! The 380 of course was great to see too!

[@RankupAviation]

@@WalksInCamera you are more than welcome 🤗 and yes 100 💯 agreed on ATR + Dash 8 landings were top class piloting skills on display. I am working on editing the landing video and will start with those Props for sure 👌

[@jetstreamuk]

Great video , i say there was a lot of nervous people on them planes yesterday.

[@PlaneSailingAviation]

Just caught this and wow what a day you boys had🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆Great video and well done for getting the action in the first place. No small thing👏👏👏👏👏

New to your channel, watched this video this morning glued to the screen probably the best footage i have seen on any of these flight channels

Thank you so much for your kind words, honestly they mean a lot. I have posted new video check it out and also the whole 6 hour live stream in uploaded in Live section

[@cherylsapcote7327]

Almost an extension of their own body, don’t want to break any legs or arms, so fly off again 🫶🏻 Just incredible.

Just incredible skill , watch the newly uploaded video of the few very interesting landings

[@peteking8063]

That Easyjet is still trying to land now.

[@RankupAviation]

hhhhh, you have to admire there courage to go out in that condition.

[@micheleelliott5175]

My sister and family was on the Emrites flight.

[@RankupAviation]

@@micheleelliott5175 EK15 A380 was still okay in my opinion because the pilots decided toga a lot earlier but I knew that it will happen because right before it was lined up I was hit by Proper Gust 💨 and I was in open field so I had that feeling that he might find it difficult. What did your Sister and family said about the go around experience from within the plane itself.

[@paulinecrawfordvilleneuve2077]

Wow! Did anyone actually Land?

[@RankupAviation]

@@paulinecrawfordvilleneuve2077 trust me it’s was literally OMG day. These are only few go around that I edited. Watch the live stream and you will find out 😃. But the skill of these pilots to make such huge decisions on such short time is just amazing

bellissime imagine

[@marcocampagna118]

@@RankupAviation yuo welcome

[@manifestgtr]

The tire marks centered exactly on the 1000 footers shows just how gnarly airline pilots are. At any given small, GA airport I fly into…the tire tracks are pretty chaotic and scattered. These big class B fields…lots of tire marks but *totally black* at the 1000 footers.

[@RankupAviation]

Totally agree! It’s amazing how precise those landings are-those 1,000-foot markers really take a hammering at big airports!

[@RankupAviation]

Which Planes have you flown so far ?

[@manifestgtr]

@ I’m mostly RV-12 and RV-12is nowadays…but I’m thinkin about getting checked out in my clubs 150 to get back into that world since it’s been so long since I’ve been in a Cessna or a Piper

[@RankupAviation]

@ RV 12 is a cool looking plane. Imagine if you had to land at Gatwick on RV 12 . What a challenge it would be. I did ask this question during live stream that does it make it any easy if you are flying/landing a big plane like A350 or B777 compared to a small plane ?

[@manifestgtr]

@@RankupAviation With weather like this, for me, it would prooobably be a closed casket funeral. As far as the big jets go, though…I actually fly out of KPSM which is lousy with 767s, freighter 747s, etc. We even get an AN124 in there on a pretty regular basis which is mindblowingly cool in person.

[@martinkasper197]

Seen this live... It was insane...🤓

[@Mattfuze]

You sound like auditing Britain

[@RankupAviation]

@@Mattfuze 😃

[@MCT72]

I know it's not really windy, you're just blowing into the microphone for the effect! ;)

[@RankupAviation]

lol 😁

[@jetstreamuk]

Did they all make it on the second attempt.

[@RankupAviation]

most of them , some were diverted to Stansted or Birmingham

[@Pailhead33]

Just a question I was wondering, I take it there's a marker or something on the runway like a point of no return, so if a plane is coming in to land if they're past the marker they go around because there's not enough runway to slow down?

[@catsandcrafts171]

I *think* that it's a case of markers for distance on the runways and the individual pilots know what the requirements are for their own aircraft because all the aircraft are different. Someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but that's my understanding :)

[@jonwallace2507]

There are markings on the runway, the sets of white painted rectangles, you should be landing within those, if you are going to go beyond them you go around. The ideal landing point that they aim for is the largest rectangle. You can see clearly the ones at the opposite end of the runway in the footage.

[@RankupAviation]

@@Pailhead33 I am no expert but I think there’s no specific ‘point of no return’ marked on the runway for landings, but pilots rely on their training and judgment to decide whether a safe landing is possible. As they approach, they assess factors like their speed, height, and alignment with the runway. If they realize they can’t stop safely within the remaining runway distance, they’ll initiate a go-around maneuver. This decision is usually made before the wheels touch down, though in rare situations, a go-around may happen shortly after touchdown. Weather, runway conditions, and the aircraft’s capabilities are key considerations in this process.

[@fogums]

Great live stream yesterday. Entertaing for us on the ground but not so for the passengers on board. Yikes.

[@RankupAviation]

@@fogums thank you so much ☺️, 💯 % would have been scary for the passengers and we have to appreciate the pilots and crew what an amazing job they did in 50+ miles/hour winds

[@rederstreet]

The comments in the background are absolutely stupid!

[@RankupAviation]

👌

[@leeoldershaw956]

Another appalling display of poor piloting skills.

[@RankupAviation]

Did you those 3 props that landed with such ease ? Dash 8 and ATR

[@thelodger1289]

It’s not enjoyable for those in the planes

[@RankupAviation]

@@thelodger1289 not at all . It must be super scary.
