That’s true. They are well educated, highly experienced, most of them spend over 10 years in airforce. Some of them are not military pilots but their selection process is very selective; again they choose well educated people mostly science graduates and they have a very though physical tests. Military pilots are trained like engineers in Turkey. They learn all sort of science subjects in depth, even material science. These people are not like those British pilots who could be anyone. They are very sensible and they know what they are doing. So risking lives of others; they would not take the chance if there is a risk.

[@chris1978nl]

Maybe the pilots have thought about that but other (nearby) airports would not be a good alternative due to the storm? Who knows may say it... At least a firm and safe landing.

[@cun7us]

@@chris1978nl who knows, it could be a number of reasons. Most airlines will do everything they can avoid diverting to another airport because it costs them thousands more. In some cases it even causes fatal accidents like FlyDubai 981, where they should have diverted but didn't due to the captain's stubbornness.

[@egostudios4438]

I'm a private jet pilot, and apparently the pilot had already been compensating for the tailwind from right to left and at the moment of landing he suddenly encountered a descending wind causing the most aggressive touch on the runway, they probably had to check the shock absorbers and conditions of the tires after landing.

[@FighterPilotPoker]

OMG! I could believe what i just saw. Turkish third time unlucky it seems. That has to be the roughest landing i've seen at BHX. The pilot did the right thing by aligning the plane diagonal to the crosswind, but the plane was still rocking and unstable due to the strong crosswinds. The landing must have shook the passengers up somewhat. Despite all the difficulties, the pilot got the plane down eventually. You have to take your hat off to the pilots.

Yes, the two go arounds were a bit premature, the actual landing should have been a go around as the drift was kicked off too early and had to be reapplied too close to the ground and left on for touchdown.

[@rasteek]

[@arslansoyarslan7785]

I bet the pilots were having fun ! A good fun excercise after flying so many boring flights !... The reason the touchdown was so hard as one pilot mentioned below is that there was one downwind gust just before it !... The inclined runway was purposely made to ease the impact upon touchdown if it makes any sense explained by another pilot further below ... At any rate pilots did an incedible job by not playing with the rudder but crabbing the plane to the wind direction. Last words I am glad I was not on that plane ... And amazing video documentation. Thank you.

[@stevecommons3822]

Remember the oft-quoted saying "if you can walk way from it, it's a good landing. If they can use the aeroplane again, it's a VERY good landing". So, subject to a possible landing-gear chack, this is a very good landing. Well done, captain!

[@weebolddavy]

I wonder what the culture is like in that airline about diverting an aircraft. Glad I wasn't onboard. I've only been in that situation once back in the late 80s on an Air Malta flight into Glasgow, although it wasn't strong crosswinds but a pea souper fog in the dark. Pilot announced if we can't land on the third attempt we'll need to divert. Perfect landing but once on the ground may have been difficult to find the gate. 👍👍

[@koll789]

A landing that exceeded the cross-wind component for that aircraft for sure, but if you are up and you need to get down what else can you do? He kept it crabbed into wind and didn't risk using rudder because it would have been hard to control the secondary effect of roll and the port wing might have dug in. He got it down level but the tyres paid the price. Great job under the circumstances. Commercial pilots are put under constant pressure to fly in these conditions.

[@richjhart]

What else can you do? Divert. If the cross wind component was too high for the aircraft and configuration, they wouldn't attempt the landing. Simple as that.

[@IntelligentEating]

@@richjhart correct

[@koll789]

@@richjhart I was assuming there was no alternate to divert to, or the alternate had the same conditions.

[@richjhart]

@@koll789 it is very rare that there wouldn't be a suitable alternate or even any other airport they could go to, particularly around Heathrow. London alone has 6 airports. And with runways at different directions you could almost certainly reduce the crosswind component. And Turkish airlines is coming from a fair way, so probably quite a bit of spare fuel.

[@pilotguy7074]

@@koll789 when you plan your flight you always need at least one alternate where the weather is within limits. And if destination weather is out of limits you need at least 2 options that are within limits. Otherwise the flight would be illegal. And as others say if crosswind was out of limits no attempt would be made. Landing in gusty crosswinds even within limits is challenging.

[@fotografustasi]

Pilots of Turkish Military origin must also receive engineering training as side training. The flight training they receive is at an extremely high level. Because the combat readiness rate of the Turkish Air Force is very high. This is because it is the only army actively participating in routine operations in the region. This causes pilots to gain flight hours and experience above the standards. In the past, the compulsory service period was 15 years and Turkish Airlines met all its needs from pilots with military background. However, this period is now 21 years. The doors are almost closed for Turkish Airlines. Turkish Airlines also established its own "Turkish Airlines Flight Academy (TAFA)" and largely trains its own pilots.

[@G6JPG]

Difficult to tell with the very long shot, but was that more or less a vertical landing (headwind about the same as nominal landing airspeed)? (Do you know if there _was_ any damage done?)

[@salokin1]

Very long lens ... the landing was around 3km+ from the camera! Without the telephoto, the undulations in the runway don't look so intimidating. With 15/33 runways, Birmingham is set up perpendicular to prevailing westerly / southwesterly winds and therefore not a good place to fly to in strong wind conditions!
