93mph Storm Darragh: Birmingham Airport pilots battle strong winds

[@Peteski-0]

Loved this. I’ve been so lucky because I’ve lived in Dubai 8 years now to of flown on the 380 over 60 times. It never ceases to amaze me just how quiet and comfortable it is. Even in the worst turbulence, it just rides it out. And on the odd occasion, I’ve flown business, where else can you get a drink at the bar at 40 thousand feet

What a fantastic aircraft the A380 is. Such a short take off run too. Must have been full power.

[@LOVEEUK]

That’s true .thank you so much for your comment ❤️✈️😊🇬🇧

[@TrevorPoole-y7b]

People can't leave Brummagem fast enough.

[@repr0bate1]

And the doors don't drop off like the ones on planes made by another manufacturer!

@@victorgrasscourt3382 I always preferred the DeHavilland Comet. Safe as houses.

[@denniswise1460]

It’s an almost empty aircraft hence the short takeoff

[@TrevorPoole-y7b]

Plane landed in Birmingham. Passengers bailed out over Dudley.

Hadn't realised how uneven the runway is.

I always thought runways were completely flat

[@shivagot97]

What a capture

[@garethwilliams976]

At what time was a gust of 93mph recorded at this airport. The figures are readily available.

[@stevenclark1973]

Battle? They're trained for this.

[@manuelmallea3818]

[@AviationUnscriptedUK]

[@fishypie]

who would be a pilot of a 380 in 90 mph winds landing a 560 tonn plane

[@TrevorPoole-y7b]

My mom.

[@brahimabdelaziz4378]

The heavier the plane, the more stable to fly, even through strong cross wind landing/take off .

[@rkillian7233]

@@fishypie why not!! It's probably easier if it's not a crosswind....

[@BillHughes-wt5ud]

Unbelievable such a short take off distance.

[@berniegreen5401]

Runway doesn't look flat

[@jamesbradley3741]

You mean 93 km/hr? I'm pretty sure aircraft don't operate from runways with winds of 93 mph.

[@colvinator1611]

It does tend to get a bit windy in the winter months. It's called seasonal weather.

[@MrRock919]

Yeah thanks for that col

[@TrevorPoole-y7b]

Tickets please. Move along down de bus. Plenty of room on top.

[@adrianwright8685]

Hold very tight please.

[@TrevorPoole-y7b]

It will never fit in Digbeth bus station.

[@kevinyork7838]

93 mph?? Definitely not seeing that 😂 pretty bad weather yes, but I’m gonna say maybe little bit of click bait on this one lol

[@TrevorPoole-y7b]
