Extremely GUSTY Crosswind LANDING Boeing 737-400 Milan | Cockpit View | Life Of An Airline Pilot

[@flyinhawaiian5848]

She's landing with a 60 degree crosswind @ 23, gusting to 29. Anyone who's ever landed an airplane in a crosswind can appreciate the level of concentration and skill it takes to land safely under those conditions . . . Appeared to be just another day at the office for her! Well done!

[@karhukivi]

A 60 deg crosswind at an average wind speed of say 26 kts equates to a crosswind component of 13 kts and a headwind component of 23 kts. The forward speed is about 130 kts so the crab angle is 1 in 10 or about 6 degrees, not a lot for a big aircraft. The gusty wind is more of a problem than the crosswind.

[@xedniw]

I like watching females doing things in a traditionally mans world and in many cases doing even better at it, my wife is a pilot and a good one. Never flew a heavy airplane but the weight would help stabilize things as long as you hold the right line and descent rate right. My small light Searey is a hand full and being it's a tail dragger makes things even more fun in gusty winds. You were really yanking and banking on that yoke but it looked like a really did a nice touch down.

[@dishonestlawyers]

crosswind landings are difficult. But remember: This airplane is swept wing which gives you little room for banking compared to a strait wing.

A cross wind landing I did once on my flight check with a KLM pilot as my copilot saw us veer late and heavily to the left of the runway heading when a strong gust of wind came suddenly across the runway. I put in full opposite aileron and rudder with additional power to slide back onto the runway heading. Re-centered the controls in unison, lowered the power setting and kissed the runway right on cue. God-powered flying as I like to call it. Pure instinct. You become the plane. You show the same set of natural skills. Nice job.

[@Doo_Doo_Patrol]

You were lucky.

[@knowledgebyte]

@@Doo_Doo_Patrol it’s called pilot in command for a reason. It took me ages to become a proper PIC. I would always get tight on the controls when in a tricky situation. Now, I just take control of the plane and work the problem. You want to try and land a weight shift in strong winds or do a cross wind landing onto a grass strip with a weight shift.. that’s a whole different ball game. I’ve flown all sorts now and each time I learn something new. Yes, there is an element of luck, but you can make your own luck and as my instructor always used to bellow at me, fly the plane and keep a good eye out for traffic.

[@mikemather5]

I loved her final moments before touchdown. A lot of steering input in rapid succession. She's basically flying by the seat of her pants. The plane wants to move around in the crosswind, and she is responding instantly with the steering. That is experience from a finely tuned butt. I'm a retired Marine Corps weather forecaster. Fortunately, Sailors and Marine aircraft have the tail hook option. Just turn final a little on the short side, touch down with one wheel, and take the wire. It will straighten you right out and stop you in a matter of plane lengths. Let's see you do that with a 737! We kind of draw the line at a 30 degree crosswind, but I have see our experienced pilots do a lot more than that. The Navy guys have it a little easier. They just turn the boat into the wind!

This was mainly due to emergencies, or other Pilot sickness, severe family situations, etc. I was fortunate to fly with him several times and witness first hand the life of a commercial pilot's life! You go on 2 to 7 day plus flights that start somewhere in the early morning hours, and may end after 7pm that night, "sometimes' during your flight schedule! I have seen a lot of the World from 5 miles up in the air. I have fond memories of these trips! Definitely spending 12 hours in a plane daily is something you have to get use to. Plus, both Captain & FO are constantly watching the skies for dangers, or other aircraft! I remember one time we (or they) came very close to another countries military aircraft! It's was well over with before anyone commented! Maybe 3 seconds of the flight, sighting till it passed us! If was headed straight towards us! We were taking off, and they were landing! They don't know how this happened, but it did! Other dangers is the skies, Clouds, Thunderstorms, other abnormal activities.

Yes true, in most cases no quick adjustments are necessary :)

[@sblack48]

In a big heavy airplane (relatively speaking) those large sharp inputs only generate relatively small responses at low speed. So if you saw the outside view you would not see the aircraft flight path deviate much. But she can’t let it start to deviate. She is aggressively keeping the airplane exactly where she wants it in-spite of the gusts trying to blow her off the approach path in pitch or roll. You would never see her make inputs like that in climb or cruise. It’s the most demanding aspect of handling the aircraft, other than an engine failure, and you can see that she does it with complete confidence. I expect it is also the most fun part of the flight. You can tell by her handling and the way her hands just fly to all the right switches and dials, by muscle memory, that she has several thousand hrs under her belt, probably many of them in the 737.

@@miked5539 Not really true, Mike D. The rougher the air, the more often the aircraft gets off the glide path, whether it's on autopilot or being flown manually. When the aircraft moves off the glide path abruptly, it needs to be flown right back on it. Thus the "abrupt" and numerous control inputs. Remaining off the glide path can lead to a dangerous "dragged-in" approach or being so steep that a safe landing cannot be made in the available runway.

Stupid question : after hundreds of landings, how would you describe your stress level during such a landing? Heart rate, adrenaline, sweating? I mean, is it "just another day at the office", or is your heart about to burst? I can't imagine myself getting used to such pressure. Kudos for handling it like a BOSS!!

[@gregson99]

wow I was surprised the amount of correction movement it takes on the yoke for small movements. Time to recalibrate my fs2020 joystick:) nice job CuteDutchPilotGirl

[@Martin-yl5bg]

ikr, you touch my yoke and the simulator takes you to hell

[@RipVanAllan1983]

I am studying to be a pilot and the reason for this is because the slower you go the less airflow you have over the control surfaces of the plane and it takes a larger deflection of the controls to get the plane to do what you want it to do. The faster the plane is moving the less you have to move the controls to get it to move in the direction you want it to go. And she is also having to do more corrections than normal because of the winds.

@@RipVanAllan1983 something the simulators seem to miss I think

[@RipVanAllan1983]

@@gregson99 Most definitely. You don't get the feel of the airplane at all in a simulator. Even doing stalls in a simulator is nothing like the real thing. You have to use your rudder in real life because of the way the plane breaks, but in a sim, it does not break the same way.

[@airwipe1639]

@@gregson99 not from my experience. It’s a well known physic, pretty sure most desktop simulators simulate it.

[@danielhartin7680]

Excellent landing in less than ideal conditions. You make it look easy, which I'm sure it's not.

[@petebateman143]

The smoothest crosswinds landing I've ever experienced was a lady Dutch Pilot, we were really sideways yet she landed it smoother than some straight landings I've had. Mad skills!

[@beijingbond]

That is what I call 'being at one with the aircraft'. Happy landings :)

I have watched these cockpit clips for a year now but I never once saw a smile. Women do bring different feeling in a workplace.

[@SlowBloke123]

Cool and calm... whilst Im sitting here anxious as hell just watching hah!

[@mattesrocket]

I always wanted to see and have never seen before how wild wind looks inside the cockpit. Turbulence videos are always taken from persons in the cabin, and pilot videos always without nasty wind. That was great to see how much and in which way it shakes at the front. It was good, you had no full coffee cup anymore ;-)

A -400 series nice! Managed to hop on one with Sky Europe many years back.

[@sjb1157]

GREAT LANDING!!! I really like how the settings (altitude, flaps, etc) and parameters are displayed for us to see...it helps in making a great video!!! BE SAFE MICHELLE!!!

[@mgwold]

NICE! Especially like the video notations and chart overlay information. Well done.

Looks like she buttered that landing in spite of crosswinds 👍👍

[@ronniephillips7502]

This was a great view of you flying and landing the plane, was a great perspective. Seems like most videos never show that view. Thank you for sharing..Loved it...

Awesome video, camera work spectacular, the captions explaining details well placed!! Great Job!!

Nice video, some parts were hard to see with the sun reflecting off that engagement ring. Congratulations.

A very competent professional - kudos! The callouts and chart overlays were very helpful. I wish there’d been a direct audio feed from the comm. All I hear is wind noise.

Im actually more impressed with the video editing and overlays

[@Unrattled]

that was an awesome landing, I'm a flight simmer and the 737 is my fav plane to fly, while i am not a real life pilot. I like to watch real life pilots and see how these kinds of things are done in real life. You were so calm so cool and focused on hitting your mark. I respect that so much and I def took down some notes.

[@alaskanfrogman]

I really love watching this beautiful young woman work. She is a true testament and asset to the flying industry. She belongs in the pilot's seat and definitely belongs in the air.
