I'm a pilot and I enjoyed this video a lot...This is one of the moments of most tension for all pilots, other than equipment failing. you never know if the wind is going to be on your side just before touch down, or is going to drop you like a rock, very tense...Excellent pilots by the way.

[@mjleger4555]

You simply go around and hope you get a break, and after about 3 unsuccessful tries, I'd go to an alternative airport (of course, that has associated problems in itself!). Nice flying in these videos though, well done, pilots!

[@StayceMichelle]

These pilots are amazing. These big ton machines had a "quarrel" with mother nature, and it's good to see pilots choosing to divert instead of forcing the landing. BRAVO!

[@hotdog8214]

Yeah unlike jets prop planes can ride it out and land long ..heavy jets can't do that..they wouldnt be able to slow the plane down fast enough upon touchdown

[@jfan4reva]

Yes, I always feel sorry for the Dash-8 pilots and crews. Those long skinny high lift wings seem to be more susceptible to gusts. It's almost like they're surfing their way down through the air. Hopefully those long-legged main gears also have long travel to absorb hard bounces.

It is by seeing images like this, that my admiration and respect for these incredible PILOTS, only increases! Beautiful images.

[@DavidHP66]

As a pilot with low hours PPL and a few more in gliders, I'd like to make a few comments: 1) Really excellent photography, thank you! 2) The really high standard of training that these pilots have received to reach this level of skill. 3) The remarkable strength of the airframes and landing gear on these truly large craft ferrying MILLIONS of us around the world every day! 4) Probably the most critical factor that every heavy moving object is affected by is INERTIA! May I suggest that the undulations of the runway and adjoining terrain have a marked effect on the mass of air travelling past the airfield. You only have to watch an albatross using the updrafts generated by the slopes of waves to see this. I keep thinking the planning departments where the decision was made to develop AND EXPAND the site couldn't have had any pilots on their payroll! Season's Greetings. Keep up the good work :-)

[@coriscotupi]

This runway is not nearly as undulated as it seems from the video. The effect is greatly exaggerated by the low-level head-on view, the distance from the runway and the ultra-long reach telephoto lens.

[@jonrassmussen416]

3.Yes, I used to be real scared that some parts of the wings would break off whenever I flew in Turbulent weather.I could see them swaying wildly at times in hurricane force winds unfortunately. One day, my friend who was an instrumentation engineer who happened to be in the next seat told me that those wings were real tough even though they seemed to bend with the wind and I needn't worry. That's awesome engineering up in the skies.

[@caribbaviator7058]

Those elevation changes are exagerated by the camera lens used to get these shots from a long range. They're much more subtle in reality.

[@confuseatronica]

hah seriously, I'm a huge fan of super wavy rollercoaster runways in videos like this. I suspect that a lot of the bumpiest looking runways are actually the really long ones, cause the guy shooting the pictures can see more of them at once with his insane super telephoto lens, and with the really huge runways the photog is probably farther away and needs to zoom in even more, which exaggerates the bumps even more. In a little airport, you just get right up near the runway with a wide lens, and everything looks flat, even if the shabby regional airport is actually bumpier than the huge international runway that LOOKS wavy

+aaron brooks If the wings weren't flexible they'd just break off. That's what happened to the first Lockheed 188 Electras. Their wings were too stiff, combined with a resonance phenomenon two of them went down in 1959 and 1960 (respectively Braniff flight 542 and Northwest Orient Airlines flight 710).

Tripod fluid heads do not stabilize but they do make for smooth movement. Manfrotto not the best choice - a good 25 lb Schatler costs 16,000 - a stabilized Canon 40 x costs 70,000 - and you need an operator with the same skill as he pilots. I can fly like that - but not so good on the camera JR

[@mambosenkoatruaywnn1429]

The first thing a pilot should do after bringing the aircraft to the ground in conditions of intense wind, either coaxially or sideways, is to stabilize the axis of travel, and in parallel to immediately reduce the traction of the engines, thus fixing the aircraft on the ground, so that the wind does not force the aircraft to take off again, supplementing the lift, on carriers of intensified traction....

[@ptroinks]
