Crosswind difficulties - Worst conditions in history!

Some landing and take-off highlights in awkward wind conditions at BHX this winter (a record winter for stormy conditions in the UK). Note the frequent flexing of the planes' wings in response to the turbulence.
Of the five "missed approaches" shown, three diverted to other airports, two were "go arounds" and landed successfully on second attempt.

You would think if a pilot heard the word crosswinds he might have a heart attack. This looks very difficult and dangerous to be caught in one. Literally like a whole year or more of rigorous, incense training to learn how to land safely.

My stepbrother is a Captain with American. He flies the big 777s all over the world. He’s in his late-50s and he still has to go in every 3-4 months for physical exams and training in the simulator for worst-case scenarios. The piloting side of airline travel is VERY well run, a lot like being in a military combat unit. Constant training, re-training, strict evaluations, and no tolerance for poor performance or any health or behavioral issues.

These are amazing. I was in a flight which landed in a bad crosswind while flying into Tampa and I had no idea what was going on at the time. All I knew was that the plane was rocking from side to side horribly and I was looking out the window and watching the wing miss the runway by what appeared to be just feet. I've never been more worried during a flight than that, I was certain we were going to clip the runway and cartwheel. Obviously we landed safely but it was definitely worse than the other minor frights on planes I've had.

[@wootle]

8 years on and this remains one of the best crosswind landing vids out there. 38mil views fantastic. What true professionals these pilots are showing amazing skills.

btw, to the uploader or whoever shot this, nice lens and well done, crystal clear footage. Also pleasant audio.

As a white-knuckle flyer (but I do fly), I hope to remember this video next time I take off. Landings never bother me, even in stormy-as-hell conditions.

And watch the nose vis a vis the rudder....he keeps the nose at the exact angle to the wind, but is moving the rudder to hell and back to make it so....

A perfect video to help explain to passengers that complain sometimes of a, 'HARD', landing. Often, this is the reason why. When landing in crosswind senerios the pilot needs to plant it firmly on the ground, so to speak. It may feel a bit rough and sometimes it'll give ya a little fright. But it's controlled and planned, enabling you to be safely on the ground.

[@bsuthe]

Amazing! The skill of these pilots gives me confidence in difficult conditions!

[@TheGodpharma]

Let's be clear - this video was taken with a long focal length telephoto lens at a low angle, looking almost directly down the runway. This has the effect of massively compressing the apparent perspective, so that you can see almost the whole length of the runway in the frame. This hugely exaggerates the undulations in the runway (which in reality are practically imperceptible to the pilot or passenger) and gives the appearance that the planes are landing and taking off almost vertically, with barely any forward movement of the plane, which is similarly false. Yes, it was a very windy day and some of the passengers probably felt a bit queasy, but to suggest that any of these planes were in danger, or that the airport or runway is dangerous or badly designed, is laughable.

[@Blake240p]

Thank you for clarifying. I thought the conditions were just really bad! I thought: "Why would they have a runway with motocross whoops?" haha

[@JagathRanaweera86]

You stupid.. Then why on the earth those pilots who are trying to land, abort their landing and take off... yeah my asss planes were not in danger.. And If you perform the landing like above at your solo flight test you would be fucked for sure...

[@TheGodpharma]

Jagath Ranaweera They weren't in danger because they aborted and went round again. Don't you think there'd be an airport with these conditions somewhere on the planet practically every day? When was the last time you heard about a plane crash because the airport was too windy? It's certainly never happened in the UK.

[@JagathRanaweera86]

Russell Wade Yeah you are right but in extreme weather conditions airports without ILS or equivalent they would be in pretty danger....am i right

[@TheGodpharma]

Jagath Ranaweera That airport does have ILS. I would guess that if it didn't then maybe they'd be more cautious. My point is that major airports, certainly in developed countries, would not let aircraft put themselves in danger and would close the airport or runway if conditions got bad enough.

[@psycheinc-theSLC]

Seriously incredible. We really do not realise how much we owe to these Pilots - I can't imagine what is going through their minds! This is fantastic footage - thank you for posting. Did you get any from Storm Eunice? Psyche aka Psyche Thompson 🌹.

[@loraleepooley3669]

Aa a fearful flyer I shouldn’t have watched this. Lol

[@blaisegauba]

Why is that runway not FLAT? That's a crazy looking tarmac. And those cross winds are insane. Those are some amazing pilots.

[@LulzRoyce]

Because brits are insane and don't have the same tight aviation regulations as the U.S. - Hate on the U.S. all you want but they got the most scrutinized and legitimate operation when it comes to aviation.

[@blaisegauba]

LulzRoyce Oh...I don't hate on the U.S....I hate on the criminal corporations that have stolen our government. I love aircraft though...too cool. All that tonnage defying gravity at the hands of human ingenuity a talent to fly.

[@LulzRoyce]

Blaise Gauba Yeah it makes my skin shiver just thinking about being in a tin can 35k ft above the ground, or even worse, ocean. Just flew back from a 5 hour overnight hawaii flight - UGH. Flying over hundreds of miles of ocean isn't comforting. At least on land they can emergency land somewhere.

[@Rocketboy1950]

Absolutely brilliant work with the camera.

[@Rocketboy1950]

Trevor Haley It's not the camera, it's the technique and stability of the image that I find brilliant. It really is very difficult to follow an aircraft with a long lens and keep it centred and steady.

[@SchmaveUCSB]

Rod Williams That's exactly what I was thinking. I don't know what focal length he's using, but it looks pretty long, and the image is rock solid, even with panning in there. He must have a steady hand and a good tripod.

[@SebastianRasch]

Trevor Haley BHX (in the description) = Birmingham

[@miniena7774]

[@AirflowAviation]

Yep video stability can be fixed in post. Rolling the camera, on the other hand, is much harder.

[@maryfehrenbach9893]

As a senior citizen I have LOVED airplanes. Watching these 'cross wind' landings just confirms my confidence in these 'experienced' pilots. I love this this video!!! I hope that viewers realize that this is not the norm. I have flown many, many times in my years and have never had to deal with a hair razing landing. I'm 69 and have been flying commercial flights since I was 6! But to have experienced a 'safe' landing under these conditions would have been a truly exciting experience!!!! Absolutely NO disrepect to landings that ended in disatrous endings with death to any family member. My excitement would be in surviving these types of scary landings! And, not that I wish this would happen to me. I LOVE AIRPLANES AND I LOVE FLYING! Even today when it is such a chaotic issue being 'crammed' into a smaller space than it used to be when it it was truly enjoyable.

Flew into BHX many times & a number of times were landings like this, really tests the skills of the pilots & the nerves of the passengers. But never known why Birmingham was so prown to such landings?

[@DreamChaser1366]

Do runways really have all those hills & mounds?

[@mussaramadan]

sometimes yes. they don't matter much

[@dcs002]

+DreamChaser1366 They vary in height, but they are spread out over like 3 km. The zoom lens dramatically exaggerates the effect. They are very flat.

[@omgitsrossy3122]

+DreamChaser1366 No. They should'nt have hills, very dangerous especially with a lot of people.

[@SnazzyLobster45]

+Ross Calvary It's obviously not dangerous, otherwise airports wouldn't have them at all.

[@stevenrojas8251]

Is exaggerated by the camera, but there is an airport, Tension Hillary that has some pretty tall hills and it´s very dangerous, it all depends on the terrain availability

[@gilvillanovadeandradegaia6857]

Huh, if you say that, ok, but was a surprise for me. All that I used to know til today has flat.

[@Nick-pr4pq]

It's flat, but the camera makes it appear wavy. Remember, your looking at a strip of asphalt that's two miles long. Your gonna see all the waviness with a good camera like this.

[@gilvillanovadeandradegaia6857]

Well... for until now I just only knew flat tracks at airports... as it seems normal.

[@paulalim1476]

Remind me of a flight I toon into Las Vegas. Strong winds and sand blowing across the runway. The pilot made several landing attempts and circled the airport for what seemed like forever. We finally mad a sideways landing. When the pilot gets a Standing O……you know it was rough. Kudos to all of the pilot who get us home safely.
