Intense Thunderstorm Landing Attempt - American Eagle - Embraer ERJ-175 - JLN - N241NN - SCS Ep. 1

[@christopherthorkon3997]

The pilot handled that so well and of course his voice was consoling for everyone. Spectacular looking footage -- wow.

[@sla31]

I agree my friend! Thanks for watching!

[@Patrickbartosch]

Wow, there are a lot of overrated "turbulent landings" on KZbin. But that was - for once - a terrifying one!

[@sla31]

I try very hard to not title my videos something they aren't. So I thought intense was a good word to use, and everyone else could decide what they really thought about it. Thanks for watching my friend!

[@JustinLHopkins]

I agree. Definitely one of the better aviation channels. Another good one is the American Airlines flight from Tokyo to Dallas.

[@Kreemerz]

@@sla31 Uh, I would def say intense. There were at least a couple of times where I almost crapped in my pants just watching the video (especially the closer you got to the runway.)

[@karaokebackgroundplaylists9878]

Biggest turbulence ever....like riding the massive waves

[@DrummerScandinavia]

Agreed. The worst and "most" real I have ever seen here.

[@rexx9496]

I've had that feeling before of a turbulent final approach and thinking I can't wait to land so this nightmare is over, and then just before we touch down the engines roar and we had back up in the sky and my heart just sinks because now it isn't over.

[@oohkumar]

Exactly my experience last week in an Embraer. Hated every second of the flight and prayed for it to be over. Thankfully landed first time.

[@steveo1kinevo]

Awesome job at holding the camera steady while being thrown around in that turbulence. 👍🏼

[@sla31]

It was quite tough holding the camera as steady as possible. You actually lose some of the bouncing around due to the built in stabilizer. Thanks for watching man!

[@SuiGenerisAbbie]

Yes, a-fucking-mazing! Well done :) :) :) !

[@karaokebackgroundplaylists9878]

Its like the experience of the biggest earthquake ever

[@sla31]

Ladies and gentlemen! Introducing a whole new series to the channel. It’s called The Short Clip. This is something I have been meaning to do for a long time. Sometimes I get good footage, that just doesn’t fit into any episode. Sometimes I feel like a moment is so special that it needs its own video. I also understand that most people don’t have time to watch a full one hour long Inflight Series episode. So, from now on I’ll be posting these “short clips” of footage that I deem as important enough to have its own short video. For those of you who do enjoy watching my full-length videos, do not fear, The Short Clip videos will not replace any of the five regular videos that I upload every week. These will be completely separate and will be posted at varying times. There will be no set upload schedule for them. They will basically be “in addition to” the five regular videos you see every week. With that being said you guys get a real treat today! For the first ever Short Clip episode you get to see a very intense aborted landing/diversion while attempting to beat a thunderstorm into Joplin, MO on a American Eagle ERJ-175! Enjoy!

[@mgtowacademy8433]

+Skylite Productions Awesome, I look forward to these videos!

[@70yroldgit]

bet some passengers shit themselves??

[@colemanhancock7859]

Right when that wind pushed down on the wing the pilots definitely knew it was not safe. Great video! I keep watching the approach over and over again

[@Jay_Force_One]

Modern aircraft have detection systems for windshead and will make an audible Call Out. When they hear “Wind Shear”, the Captain will repeat the call and then determine whether to continue landing or go around. 99.9% of the time, the Captain will call for a Go-Around as Wind Shear usually happens just about or below minimums. In this case, I’m sure they recorded the Call Out well before the actual event happened but decided to continue, until they realized they were unable to stabilize.

[@bobbyd6680]

Windshear. The whole plan dropped. That is why WS is so dangerous during the landing approach when close to the ground, the plane suddenly loses lift.

[@lucaas]

That's scary! Good job filming it. Would you be okay with me featuring this in an episode of Weekly Dose of Aviation? Of course you will be credited both in the video and in the description.

[@sla31]

Hello my friend. Thanks for reaching out. As long as proper credit is given as you said, you're welcome to use the clip in your video. Thanks for watching!

[@thejazzguy13]

Very interesting and cool video! When I see storms and Joplin in the same sentence, I can't help but think back to that horrific tornado years ago. Good flying by the pilots and nice footage mate!

[@jayjay-hm3dh]

Jeez, watching this in my living room and actually holding on to my seat!

[@sla31]

You can imagine how some of the passengers were then. Thanks for watching my friend!

[@majunglas]

There are so many clickbait videos and here you really see the strugge of the pilots and how they do a great job doing a go around. And it is named "landing attempt". This is a refreshing understatement. Thank you for uploading!!

[@sla31]

Thanks my friend. I always do my best to title videos exactly what they are. No clickbait here. Thanks for watching.

[@thesneakyzephyr4531]

Kudos to you for remaining so calm during that approach! You held that camera so still, like it was a totally normal flying day! AWESOME VIDEO!!!

[@sebvds8366]

Sheesh that plane really was getting thrown around, good decisions from the pilots for the go-around

[@jamarcusjoe]

2:40 😳 ...good call on the crew to go around. I would've yelled GO AROUND as a passenger from the main cabin. Haha.

[@sla31]

I'm kind of surprised someone didn't yell in the cabin. Thanks for watching my friend!

[@zokaya10]

Holyshit the way that wing was moving around tho omg

[@Averagekylebuschfan]

@@zokaya10yeah ever experienced turbulence 🫤

[@IanCthrwd]

Id keep my mouth shut. Never know from other nervous passengers might go apeshit and panic. Having a calm cabin is best. 5:38 Really? Pushing a call button? What? Need a pillow to soften your scream?

[@scottbridge9391]

KZbin's algorithm decided that I should watch this video. Wow!! Those T-storm clouds were Holy Shit Dark!! Looked like they may have been tornado forming clouds. The big clue is if they have spikes on the top of the thundercloud and are on the back side. Back in 1972, I was in a DC-10 going to West Palm Beach and we went thru thunderstorms. I saw lightning hit the wing of the plane. The drafts were tossing our plane around wildly. This was after our flight was already delayed because of a bomb scare on the aircraft. I was 13 back then going to see my grandmother for spring break. Later that week, we flew up to Disney World for a few days on a 2-engine prop plane. On the return flight back down to PBI, we went thru some serious thunderstorm clouds and it was tossing our plane around like you wouldn't believe. Excellent job by the pilot of your aircraft!

[@TheCorkscrew66]

I remember being in a Jetblue ERJ-190 when there was severe turbulence during approach due to a passing storm... I've never seen a plane's wing flex so much, and we were pretty much being tossed around the cabin as we descended (unfortunately some people couldn't hold in their upset stomachs). Saw the flight path afterwards and the plane made a pretty interesting shape lol. It's always funny how calm the flight attendants are, that's when you know you're probably going to be alright!

[@sla31]

I'd say that's probably about right! The flight attendants have probably been through much worse! Thanks for watching man!

[@typhoontom]

That had to have been terrifying! Very scary watching this...just before the attempted touch down I thought the right wing would strike the ground! I would have had to change my underwear had I ben on that plane! Very good video and no exaggeration at all. Thanks for posting and glad you are safe!!

[@sla31]

As I’ve mentioned in replies to other comments, this was the one and only time that I have ever been frightened on an aircraft. It’s really a miracle that I was able to continue to hold the camera as well as I did. Anyways, I appreciate you watching my friend!

[@garyvale8347]

a very similar experience happened to my family and I when attempting to land at Sky Harbor airport in AZ, at the exact time a Haboob was hitting the city and the storm was said to be the worst in 20 years........after three aborted landing attempts, we diverted to Tuscon for the night......there is no way to explain the terrifying feeling of severe turbulence , that is steadily increasing as the plane nears the ground........was never so glad to land and thanked the pilot for getting us safely down as I walked off ...... the pilot was very professional and said he tried his best but couldn't do it........others were unhappy we landed in Tuscon, but I told the Captain he made the right decision in getting us safely on the ground......thank you again sir, if you happen to read this......

[@sla31]

Thanks for watching my friend! I do read, and reply to every comment on my channel. Sorry I'm so late replying to this one, but I've been on an awesome trip getting new footage for the channel! I didn't have great internet for the last week. Sounds like you know exactly how we all felt on this flight. Diverting is always a good decision if it means getting back on the ground safely. Thanks again my friend!

[@chrisstjohn5449]

The hardest, and the most important, thing a pilot has to do: when in doubt Go Around!

[@sla31]

And thankfully the pilots on this flight made that decision, and got out of a bad situation. Thanks for watching my friend!

[@Alive_N_freeridin]

Captain: "Ladies and gentlemen, we got a little scared and were unable to make the landing, we'll head over to Springfield for a change of pants and get you back to Joplin...some day"...would've been hilarious. By the way, these passengers are ABSOLUTE PROS!! Not a peep from any of them except some casual conversation and laughing as if nothing is going on. 😁They've been on some pretty crazy flights apparently! 😁😁 That was a close one on short final, good thing they caught that wing!

[@iheartjetaviation2764]

Hey Skylite. You're buddy from dirty jersey saying hi, whilst sitting here at the AAA waiting for them replace my rear brakes, and scheduling the kidney donation for what they are charging me. I've watched this video quite a few times, and still love it today. With all you know about my obsession with jet aircraft and flying, for the most part, all I really enjoy are the takeoffs and landings (toga especially). Most flying at altitude is generally smooth, uneventful, and well, boring as heck. I LOVE turbulence! Makes flying more exciting. Whether is has been commercially, with my brother flying, or whatever, I've had NOT a few, pretty harrowing experiences, and I love it. And if the weather is severe enough, and I am scheduled to meet my maker in very short order, at least I will be doing what I love and enjoy. Again my friend, thanks so much for what you do on your channel, and for how you've enriched my life with the best aviation videos on YT. We'll be talking soon.

[@callowayman]

Amazing clip! Looks like at 2:46 the flight deck crew put the throttles on "TOGA" but still had a tough time with climbing out of that windshear. You could tell the pilots were pulling hard on the yoke just to get her to climb out at 1000-1200 fpm!

[@sla31]

This video, and I’m not just saying this because it’s my video, should be shown to all pilots in training, to illustrate the dangers of low level wind shear. Thanks for watching my friend!

[@callowayman]

@@sla31 - you can tell at 2:20 that there's some serious change in airspeed by listening to the engines oscillating in power. The pilots were having continuous trouble with controlling airspeed including TONS of manual input to the vertical stabilizer, ailerons and the rudder. Incredible job keeping the camera steady throughout all of that heavy turbulence!

[@JB-zn1kx]

Was in the same model plane last Saturday in Charlotte. Silly departure in bad weather did the same thing. Was a real thriller.

If you can believe it I'm now A-List on Southwest, and have another nine flights booked on them just this month. I completely understand how a new job can consume someone. A new job is the main reason I originally went form five to three uploads per week. I needed to focus more on the job that actually pays the bills. Now look... I'm uploading seven videos per week.

This was the moment PIC made the decision to abort landing as he/she realized that the plane isn't in full control due to bad weather. Given the visual signs and probably prior knowledge from other pilots/atc that conditions can be bad during landing, pilots were defo ready for this scenario.

I had one bad landing at Toronto International on a 747-200, (British Airways), and that was bad enough because that is a massive aircraft. We didn't abort, although it was the roughest landing I ever had. I had sympathy for people landing in smaller aircraft. A mile from the end of the runway at 1000ft we dropped 500ft and powered-up and climbed back up to the Glide-Slope. When we finally landed we were on 100% reverse thrust and I never saw an aircraft stop so quickly. As we walked into the terminal, I realized that we had to fly back to London. Walking on the ground never felt so good.

Wow, that pocket at 2:45 would make any pilot cringe! Good choice for a go-around!

[@sla31]

I agree! Thanks for watching my friend!

[@rarebasses]

Why would somebody give this video a thumbs down? It’s clearly a great video and IS what it says it is! There is another video on Facebook take from the airport and it’s equally as good.

[@sla31]

Who knows my friend. At least the likes vastly outweigh the dislikes. Thanks for watching! You can also watch the exterior view here in KZbin here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fXnYkmuNl8yqg8k

Looks like the 'Windshear' warning went off. Time to go around and have another go... nice clip.

[@sla31]

Thanks my friend. I'm glad you enjoyed it!

[@jamesbabbath5306]

All it takes is one big gust at the wrong time and you're going around. Hats off for keeping it under control in crazy winds like that.

[@dismoptism5541]

One can always tell from a video that an approach was really intense when its noticable how the conversation in the cabin gradually dies down to none at all in the last few seconds before touch down. Terrified passengers dont make small talk.

[@sla31]

Very nice observation my friend. Thanks for watching!

[@nitzer280]

Excellent video! That ERJ was taking a beating. Very wise choice to abort and divert.

[@sla31]

Thank you my friend! Despite how good these pilots skills were, I think this little ERJ was on the limits of its crosswind abilities. Thanks for watching my friend!

Only 8 minutes to get from Joplin to Springfield that’s awesome. I need to start flying & bypassing I-44 from now on lol.

[@sla31]

You and me both. It took us just about the same to fly back once we had re-fuled, and waited for the storm to pass. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@CapizFlier]

Great video! I like it that the pilot was so cool about everything. The storm clouds did look pretty intense and the go around was really bumpy. But great video, im a fan!

[@sla31]

Thanks my friend! I'm glad you enjoyed it!

[@ksbear2]

8 minutes to SGF? Was the flight back longer? Kind of like a flight I was on one time that went DCA - ORF - PHF. That last segment, hopping across Hampton Roads was about 8 minutes. Loved and liked the video.

[@sla31]

Not much longer. The return was 18 minutes from gate to gate, so actual air time was probably close to 10 minutes. The two cities are only about 50-60 miles apart. Thanks for watching my friend!

[@alphawolf5750]

Exceptional decision making process noticed during this approach and go around!!! Kudos to this crew! Thanks for posting this awesome video 👍🏼🛩👌🏼👏

[@sla31]

No problem my friend. They definitely made the right split second decision when it counted that's for sure. Thanks for watching!

[@stevedrums1675]

this happened to me last year trying to land in Boston. As one who doesn't like flying to begin with, this was NOT fun. But I was amazed at how the pilots can handle these boats!!

[@sla31]

They go through strict training. It's moments like this, and yours, that their training really shows. Thanks for watching!

[@TheNextFlight]

Wow... a microburst on landing!Realy an awesome video!

[@sla31]

Thank you my friend! Thanks for watching!

[@jovaniaraujo4324]

The most frightening approach I have ever seen!

[@sla31]

It was definitely the most frightening approach I've ever flown on as well. Thanks for watching my friend!

[@DarkTaylick]

I went through something like this when I was landing in Springfield IL on August 10th of this year and I have to say I wished I recorded it but this brings back that terrifying memory and I haven't flown in a while but since I'm writing this comment I made it to the ground 😅

[@Horsiesforcourses1713]

Gosh. Fabulous. I love a bit of turbulence. !! Fantastic video as always. Xxx

[@sla31]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@Horsiesforcourses1713]

Loved it. You’re so lucky to get to travel so much sweety. I’m actual envious. X😊
