Landing in a Heavy Snowstorm! Delta 737-900ER Arrival in Detroit

[@lauragadille3384]

I'm so grateful that pilots are trained to know how to land a plane in any weather storm.

[@robr9905]

Thank you Laura, your kindness and appreciation is refreshing. I can personally assure you that these pilots are extremely professional and trained to the highest standard. Your life is first on their mind.

[@ritushukla9284]

👍 last year I travelled in snow. I was so scared.

[@Airforceproud95]

I love this video.

[@LeppAviation]

Thanks man!

[@X-WingsFlyer]

Airforceproud95 OMG, how did u get here?

[@grqmedia3489]

Airforceproud95 bruh. Idk how you get on every aviation video I watch. Btw, don't eat ****

[@TheGlasnost1]

From the sunny LAX to the snowy Detroit... what a contrast!

[@fredphillips7798]

Remember when the chargers played the bengals in a playoff game in Cincinnati when the chargers got on the plane it was 80degrees and when they landed it was 20 below they called it the freezer bowl

[@saulfernandez8876]

Such a large heavy vehicle w sooo many people, moving soooo smoothly.

[@MJLeger-yj1ww]

Thanks for the info above! Makes it much more interesting! Difference between a blizzard and a snowstorm is that in a blizzard, there's massive amounts of snow and wind at least 40 mph, reducing visibility substantially! If you've ever been in a blizzard, you will know the difference! The more the wind chill, the more danger of frostbite and hypothermia, not to speak of landing difficulties in an aircraft!

Wonderfull video..... Thanx for sharing Enjoy the summer!!

[@jameshightower9570]

My guy just buttered a Boeing 737 in a snow storm less go

[@JERRYinCHS]

Thanks for the good video. I don't agree with the severe descriptive. The vis below the clouds was a mile or so, the ride on final was smooth and despite the snow on the runway it was shallow and dry. Good airlines, especially Delta avoid anything severe, be it turbulence, wind, icing etc. Cheers

[@mikejarvis5399]

See Southern englanders you do not need to close Heathrow every time it shows

[@rpcarnell]

"Welcome to Detroit. Do not unfasten your seatbelts until we are able to fly the fuck away from here"

[@I.love.cats650]

LMAO

[@dotart.dorotamagdalenamari186]

Wonderful loading glad préfère starting

[@jwm239]

...looked like a rather smooth landing. Judging angles, distances, etc., amid abundant snow is tricky...I needed extra training before flying hang glider onto snow-covered, mostly featureless fields.

[@LeppAviation]

It was a fairly smooth landing. A little rough, but hard to tell from the camera due to stabilization. However, the scenery on final was quite interesting to witness

[@drummer78]

I once landed in a snowstorm in Buffalo and I didn’t know it was was a big snowstorm until we got below the clouds. Even then, we landed pretty easily and quickly it wasn’t scary..like it’s video.

[@MTAviationPhotoFilm]

I love T/Rs in the snow.

[@LeppAviation]

Me too, man! Sick watching it from the structure.

[@MTAviationPhotoFilm]

MD881212 We replaced a throttle quadrant on a 900 the other day and had to do the engine runs and what not and had to ops check the T/Rs. We looked out the window and were just in a white cloud. I wish I woulda got a pic of it.

[@thehonorablejiveturkeyspoo6370]

Smooth as butter

[@gejordominguez7947]

No snow coming down, it was on the ground already.

[@ikolkyo967]

Such a clean wing.

[@flapsnslats]

Cool video

[@Darthbelal]

Good news, safe lannding. Bad news is that it's Detroit.....

[@IanMumfordSunnyDay]

Darth Belal Detroit’s actually a pretty nice airport.

[@mxtf716]

Darth Belal Detroit’s airport is beautiful and it’s about 30 minutes outside of the city, and 45 minutes away from the bullshit you see on TV. Try the rest of the state on for size and you’ll probably find that you enjoy it.

[@antoinemoorman5754]

Oh you're another one of those assholes who believes everything the news tells you about Detroit

[@khalilt6508]

You’ve obviously never stepped foot in Michigan asshat

[@lavaregion6968]

@@khalilt6508 Who said anything about the whole state of Michigan. Michigan is a really good state.

[@piperbynoe8195]

From island never seen snow before but look awesome

[@TimeTraveller-xt1uo]

FULL REVERSE THRUST You can hear it

[@richardleonardon2192]

Notice that the pilot did not use reverse thrusts and braked only a bit. I had a landing like this in Baltimore back in the 1990s right before they shut the airport.

[@seannoble8948]

He used max reverse thrusters and minimal wheel brake....when landing an airplane on a snowy runway using alot of wheel brake will increase the chances of losing control of the plane on the runway so thats why they use max reverse thrusters in the snow and minimal wheel brake

[@TheAviation98]

Awesome video!

[@LeppAviation]

Thanks!

[@geminijets33]

Amazing I remember that exact Snow Storm 🌨

[@polanco187]

Nice landing.

[@AmericaWest90]

Hey, I just realized that this is the EXACT seat and EXACT aircraft I flew from SLC-SEA on Aug. 2 this summer! Quite a pleasant view and cabin. Love the SkyInterior. Saw the reg in the flight deck. Happy travels!

[@mackhaddock5376]

AmericaWest90 Bullshit! :)

[@southwest0092]

Amazing video.

[@scarecrow2885]

Detroit still has an airport? What for? Anyway, skip to 2:30.

[@scarecrow2885]

@Pandora Well, if you realize my tongue-in-cheek humor, why do you feel a need to point out that the airport serves more than just Detroit? Don't you think I know that?

[@bethcoopho2624]

no way take me back up🤣🤣

[@MichaelDiMatteo1]

Amazing video!!!

[@LeppAviation]

Thank you!

[@ermis3617]

Well, later i want to be an pilot so yeah! I play Some realistic games but that would be never and never the same like this! I have to know its a flying object and autopilot? forgot with this wheater ! And this speed i should land with 130 or 140 but he was a Little bit faster so respect to this pilot it is so dangerous with that speed and when you put on the brakes u may tell it slip when you use your rudder! So respect to this pilots!

[@ravensrulzaviation]

Best thing about the 737 ng’s and Max, they can land on their own if hey have to in bad weather, auto land.

[@Jay_Force_One]

Almost all commercial aircraft are equipped with ILS, not just the 737. Additionally, the airport and individual runways must have ILS (CAT I/CAT II) in order for the aircraft to make an “auto landing”. However the aircraft never truly land themselves. Essentially what happens is between the pilots, FMC, and Air Traffic Control the aircraft is able to follow radio signal vectors down to the runway with virtually no visibility. HOWEVER, one they hit MINIMUMS the pilots must have a visual to continue landing. If they do, they will take control and land the aircraft manually. If they don’t, they will have to go around for another approach OR divert to their secondary airport.

[@lewkv]

How did they manage to get that smooth landing? The pilots shouldn't be focused on smooth landings as shown, in these severe weather conditions the main goal is to firmly land the aircraft.

[@s.tobing8550]

Good job!!!

[@santicampos5518]

great video i like all af your videos and beautifull land thanks

[@hphark00]

I love everything about this video, except that you were landing in detroit.

[@anicetune]

At least if it were to skid uncontrollably, it would have a soft landing.

[@TimeTraveller-xt1uo]

Cool Good Pilot ILS to 100%

[@TheAgunghariyadi]

That was a PRETTY soft landing

[@jenniferh725]

SummitCE Agreed!

[@ib3scope]

If you don't mind me asking, where do you live Farmington, novi? 3 hours!?/that's quite some time even in Michigan weather...

[@LeppAviation]

+ib3scope I live near the Jackson area, so about 60 miles away.

[@Maloy7800]

Two things I don't see in this video - severe and snowstorm.

[@otherstuffbybob]

I didn't see the engine and thought the winglet was the tail of the plane and that made the wing the path through the snow. The whole plane buried under the snow except for the tail. What an imagination I have.

[@carsonlee7554]

Cool

[@sundevilification]

Nice ILS to minimums!

[@amitkuchhal6011]

Gz

[@LeppAviation]

+Maloy7800 So my question to you is what's the stuff falling from the sky making it 1/2 mile visibility?

[@alanmorr3635]

+MD881212 SNOW

[@neeyotube]

A severe snowstorm is called a blizzard. This was not a blizzard.

[@LeppAviation]

+Alexander Quinn Actually, yes it was. It was a time during the storm where snow wasn't falling at its hardest. This was taken 40 minutes after my video. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fGHHpKODnK2Bl7s

[@ZR3FR1K]

I wouldn't call it a light snowstorm either.

[@_Tommmmmm_]

1/4 vis and 35 mph winds denotes a blizzard and you only need one of the criteria. Like a severe storm, you need wind, hail, or tornadoes.

[@retroboi69]

There were certainly blizzard conditions. Blizzard is wind and visibility. You can have a 2-inch snowstorm that is classified as a blizzard or a 25 inch snowstorm that is NOT a blizzard. This video was shot in Detroits snowiest winter on record.

[@robertpitts8222]

I disagree! There is 3-4 different levels of snowstorm. This one is like heavy, but do NOT MEAN BLIZZARD.... snowstorm do not always mean blizzard. It can be light, medium, heavy, severe then final is blizzard.

[@chrisjones3888]

Omg 😲 that pilot did a good damn job how in the hell he or she found that god damn runway in the snow ❄️ storm but congratulations 🎊🎉🍾🎈 to he or she whoever landed that plane ✈️

[@ritushukla9284]

👍

[@chrisjones3888]

Ritu Shukla yes ma’am

[@Jjjasak]

Normal in Finland;)

[@LeppAviation]

Pretty much a normal winter here now too! :)

[@Mike-fo4iq]

Typical winter landing.

[@michaeldoyle6702]

Shit, I haven't seen so much white in Detroit since 1950.

[@tedboeing]

Fuel leak on a fairly new aircraft ? Why ?

[@02Nawal]

If city officials did their fucking jobs by getting the streets plowed and de-iced it would make people driving on the roads easier. I hate winter for the simple fact that the city takes their sweet ass time to plow the streets

[@LeppAviation]

+02Nawal Couldn't agree more!

[@robr9905]

Wow, so much anger.

[@hphark00]

you're forgetting that it's Detroit, not Chicago or Boston.

[@jordanpowell101]

Was he braking hard???

[@LeppAviation]

It was quite a jerky landing lol. Not too bad though.

[@joelt4416]

Severe......SMH.....There's a video of a DC-9 landing in heavy snow and nearly zero visibility that is far more dramatic!

[@LeppAviation]

+carleton morris Severe, yes. Blizzard status? No, you're right. If it wasn't a severe snowstorm however, we wouldn't have been delayed 2 hours at LAX and we wouldn't have circled the airport for 25 minutes before given a small window to land. It may not have been the most severe part of this particular storm, but I'd say it was still significant since I didn't have school the following 5 days. And in Michigan, that's saying something. And FYI, if you were talking about the DC-9 landing in a snowstorm at DTW, that's the same storm about 45 minutes after this video was shot. Thanks for watching.

[@dmimcg]

severe. ROFL, severe is having to go back home to Detroit.

[@retroboi69]

SE MI is a nice area, wouldnt live anywhere else.

[@austinwlock]

D Moore no no no severe is what we have about 200 miles north of Detroit..

[@hphark00]

Michigan is nice, except for Detroit.

This is a boring video. The wing and the engine are in the shot.

[@richdecabo6675]

Those passengers sounded like a bunch of cackling androids. They hopefully ate used to landing in snow and even talked while flight attendant spoke.
