Plane spotting during the cyclone is insane! Hats off to you brother!

[@aerowanderer]

Thank you for the appreciation🙏🏻

[@wneo7]

Great work. One small note. The word "pattern" is never used as an object of "holding" as a verb. Aircraft are sometimes told to keep flying as they await clearance to land. Aircraft are said to be 'holding' (verb) when it is the case. The path that they trace when they are on hold is called a 'holding pattern' (noun). So, the correct sentence is: "After holding, the aircraft was diverted to Bengaluru."

[@rohitkrishna1171]

BRO THESE AVIATION PHRASES NOT ENGLISH ONE

[@wneo7]

@@rohitkrishna1171 I didn't quite get you. Aviation English is still English. Aviation English does not have its own grammar. Only its own terminology. Like "holding pattern". PS: Are you related to Arvind? If you are, let him know such feedback is only to make the channel better. It is one of the best in India.

[@arpansonawane6027]

​@@wneo7That is called holding pattern.... Here your noun pronoun verb adjectives adverb are not important... That is a pattern where Aircrafts flew in a circular path, which is called holding pattern... so keep ur english to urself 😂😂😂

[@arpansonawane6027]

And one thing don't teach an aviator abt aviation's wording.

[@wneo7]

@@arpansonawane6027 Is English your first or at least second language? I ask because you don't seem to have read my comment carefully or have understood it correctly. To repeat, you don't hold a pattern. The pattern in which you hold is a holding pattern.

Thank you for watching🙏🏻Yes it is. It is legally not allowed to listen to ATC communication in India

Bro did any big flight comes to chennai on 20 December 2023 i heard very loud noise of flight,i am in exam so i not about to see the flight,tell me what flight that, that's around 3-4pm

We came all the way from vadodara to chennai., Severe turbulence,we were on a holding pattern for more than one hour, the plane was banking to the left and then right over somewhere out skirts of Sriperumbudur..after one hour the plane started its descent and landing from the sea side, severe winds, heavy rain..just like the movie..the pilot was unable to land and aborted the landing and another 20 minutes flying all over chennai., The pilot tried for the second time., Its was heavy turbulence, down draft..the plane touched down and skidded..he again aborted the landing and took off with full power., After came to know that we cant land..the flight was diverted to banglore., Due to many flights diverted to banglore..we were again on a holding pattern..for 40 min and then we landed in banglore safely but only to see that banglore airport was like a koyembedu bus stand on diwali holidays..since 30 flights were diverted..they told us that there wont be any flights till tomorrow 5 pm..we spent the night sleeping on the floor..no place to sleep..some how got some ciggrates..and chai..The next day my friend collected his baggage from the counter and we took a bus to madiwala from there we came to vellore and chennai..only to see that no vehicles are there to reach my home..another 4 hours of requesting auto walas and git some help from a biker..finally reached home..it was a night mare..chennai vanthu land panna mudiyama return ponathu..i am suprised to see this video..after many flights diverted, how come these atc gave permission to land..uyir poi uyir vantuchu..good work..

Should stop airport operations in storms many accidents have happened in storms

[@Odontomango]

They all just go "Nope" when they reached the decision height and initiate a go around. lol That's why the go around happened around the same area.

[@ctfuser0]

Wait what ?? British airways Bangalore to Chennai ?? “6:56” due to cyclone they stopped at Bangalore ?

Oh yes. The aircraft was diverted to Bengaluru the previous morning and arrived to Chennai the next day when the airport reopened for operations
