ATR Crosswind Difficulties, Landings & Takeoffs (Aurigny ATR42 & Aer Lingus ATR72) | Bristol Airport

(WATCH IN 1080p and fullscreen) A strong southerly wind perpendicular to the runway with persistent awkward gusts caused some difficulties for these ATR turboprops landing and departing Bristol Airport today (17th April 2018).
The two aircraft in the video are an Aurigny ATR42-500 arriving from Guenrsey and an Aer Lingus ATR72-600 coming from Cork. Whenever the wind is up, it's always worth watching the ATRs, they seem to struggle the most in such conditions.
Notice how the aircraft are both wobbling on approach, and are coming in at an angle to the runway to keep the aircraft on course (crab landing). Once down on the ground they both sway quite violently from side to side trying to stay on the centreline. Similarly, during takeoff the aircraft immediately turn into the wind - appearing to fly sideways! Kudos to the pilots on this challenging day at Bristol.

Thankyou mate 😆 Yeah it's always tricky to get good footage in strong wind because my tripod doesn't stay very stable but this footage came out okay 😃

Good captures of the Aurigny and Aer Lingus Regional ATRS. Certainly a windy day at Bristol. Good views and filming.

[@Mraviationguy]

Thankyou very much 😀

[@DanielSander]

Nice Video Mate :)

[@Mraviationguy]

Thankyou 😃

Do ATRs struggle more in these conditions than dash 8s ?

[@Mraviationguy]

That's a good question and one that unfortunately I don't know the answer to! 🤔 Thanks for watching, hope you enjoyed the video ☺️

[@hashigute]

I believe so, due to the smaller distance between the main landing gear wheels. The Dash has its main gear inside the engine nacelle

[@achatzott6905]

What were the crosswind speeds in knots?

[@Mraviationguy]

Ooh good question, I honestly can't remember sorry! Thanks for watching. 😊

[@Hk-uw8my]

The first one didn't turn his yoke enough into the wind at the rollout so the rudder wasnt effective as he thought

[@Korea_Aviation_Films]

Strong wind but landing success

[@Mraviationguy]

Yes that's right! ☺️ Thanks for watching.
