STORM CIARA -CROSSWIND LANDINGS at BIRMINGHAM BHX Airbus A380

[@topfelya]

I decided to go to Birmingham instead of Gatwick . Usually more actions at BHX. 9:24 Nice Capture ! ( I did missed that departure ) We did filmed the same airplanes but from different directions . Beautiful footage !

[@hamza3p342]

That PIA pilot made it look easy. Hands down all pilots are very talented.

[@galactical3110]

yh true, Fun Fact: some PIA pilots were actually part of the Pakistani Air Force!

[@snowdogs01]

The commuter prop at 7:50 gave the port side passengers a unique view of the runway...

[@johnnys7338]

Still in all a really soft landing, especially given how twitchy turboprops can be in a crosswind!

[@ami6272]

Excellent landing, right on the centerline. And with one of the lightest aircrafts of this compilation!

[@musoseven8218]

Thanks for braving the storms for that footage - superb! The pilot's earned their keep yesterday! Get it down and keep it stuck! Or if it ain't looking/feeling right, bin it and go around. Sweaty palms!

[@britbyname3620]

I guess that at least some of these Pilots really enjoy this type of challenge.... occasionally !

[@musoseven8218]

Brit By name Hi! it is good fun sideslipping or crabbing, I suspect its the same for AL pilots, upwind wing and wheel down and get it stuck. They earn their keep!

[@paulcartlidge751]

Great filming in bloody aweful conditions, and a big thumbs up to the pilots flying in that weather.

[@crustycobs2669]

Bravo, brave and experienced Pilots. This was a very unusual weather event, with 400kpm windspeed at 30, 000 feet, a wind-shear on the ground. Terrific job of cool and calm flying in the extreme!

[@peetre]

I think the last 5 TO/landings are amazing. Surprised the tires dont blow skidding like that! Outstanding job Elwyn!

[@moab3516]

Thanks for these aviation amazing moments! If take-off is difficult in windy conditions, landing remains not easy in all conditions. From this video we can conclude that the difference is not between air companies but between the pilots skills, competences and expertises.

[@michaeljohnson-thiman4975]

The pilots are fantastic, proper professional. I really admire them after watching this video. They have a huge responsibility. All those hours in the simulator paid off.

[@g4obb]

And all landed safely...I used to be a nervous flyer...at one time the most scared person on the plane....honest! Not anymore...after numerous flights now, I just find it very thrilling...To all the nervous flyers.....Don't be! Just enjoy...this stuff is absolutely very, very safe !

[@barbarabreadman2373]

I went on a Virgin Flying Without Fear course in March 2007 and flew to New Zealand the following weekend! It worked a treat, as I had only flown once before - 34 years earlier to Benidorm. I've flown several times since and always been fine. Love the landings - odd innit!!

[@andreasherrle4]

Those 380’s are masterpieces.......landing that well in that storm..

[@AmyAnnLand]

@123456 774 apparently the A380's are too expensive to continue using. The airline companies who use them are cancelling orders or not ordering them anymore. Too big and hard to fill all the seats. It's a damn shame because they're my favorite. Hope I can ride in one someday before they're all phased out.

[@grannyweatherwax4917]

I've been fortunate enough to be on that 380 landing at BHX in the mornings. It was extraordinary. My house is under its flight path too, which is about 5 minutes out from the airport if on a plane, about 30 minutes by car :D I have so much respect for the staff on planes. Emirates were so lovely. Much love, light and blessings to everyone here xxx

[@dawar_trekker]

A real test for pilots in this type of weather.. PIA was superb again like we have seen so many times in past.. Especially while have weather like this 👏👏

[@WaterburnerActual]

First time viewer of this channel, and I must say you are by far, leaps and bounds ahead of the majority of storm videos. I watched the live stream from another channel and watched several go-arounds and seat of your pants landings. Your vid has it all, and more than the Sun Live Stream channel. Thank you and keep the excellent content coming!

[@OHAREAVIATION]

Five-star footage, mate!

[@wendyraymond1751]

Such great admiration for the pilot's. ..thanku awesome video. .love an God bless x

[@andrewyeates7717]

Looks like great airport to get shots at. That A380 takeoff was incredible

[@WildPhotoShooter]

It is a great place to get good shots. There is a public footpath and picnic area just over the perimeter fence, on a sunny day lots of people get out there.

[@mikeygti8930]

On a Sunday evening a380 departure and arrival its always pretty busy down there

[@mikeygti8930]

@Brummiewellington i go down pretty often myself as i only live in Redditch. Ive often wondered if the A380 is fully loaded or if its at 777 levels of load. Would be interesting to know.

[@mikeygti8930]

@Brummiewellington You jammy git! We live on the flight paths so to speak so if its a clear day they aremostly passing over us. Told the missus that i want to move to Marston Green! Lol

[@geoffcrummy1443]

Thanks for posting Sir great footage of pilots earning their wage. 🇬🇧🇬🇧🛸🛸👍👍

[@MartasZLA]

Man that Airbus A 380 is big!

[@fatousagna8134]

Martin Paták really big

[@hughvane]

An extraordinary sight here in Christchurch NZ the other day as an Emirates A380 was coming in to land as I was driving in the opposite direction. Our respective speeds (mine 80 kph) gave the impression the plane was completely stationary, hanging in the sky maybe 150 m (whatever that is in feet) up.

[@jupitorman]

[@Ouli93]

Damn, that A380 is gorgeous!

[@mrkhan2983]

737s are the most difficult jets to land especially in such conditions . Hatts off to Pilots !

IMMENSE quality this video :) Loved it !

I was on the Emirates A380 in this video. Let’s just say I’m thankful I wasn’t on a smaller plane. We were getting chucked around, imagine what they would be feeling.

Great footage, would love to capture aircraft in a storm but never had chance yet

[@yesemitesam333]

Given the conditions you did a remarkable job in getting such steady images, particularly the tracking shots. Probably a long and uncomfortable day for you but well worth it.

[@Pgcmoore]

outstanding!!!

[@Jholchobi]

The Qatar airways did fantastic landing and takeoff. Hats off to the pilots.

[@Blupa.]

Brilliant watching these pilots battle the storm , then there’s the Ryanair ... bang crash wallop as usual 😂

[@IGetWicked]

Not paid enough for smooth landing :)

[@williamsampson4460]

Yes, The Ryanair Pilots all seemed to employ the strategy of "let's go in fast and low to cut through the wind and just toss the plane down for the touchdown." They were in control enough to avoid the nose gear touching the ground first. It is actually not a terrible idea if you don't care about having to replace the brakes and tires more frequently.

[@theliftexpert]

Andy Peel ....Ryanair has obviously pissed Mother Nature off .....they seem to fly in constant wind sheer🤪

[@Empress003]

LOOOOL this comment made me laugh so hard 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@charleskd09]

Andy Peel couldn’t agree more

I recommend listening to Jerry Lee Lewis' "Whole lot of shakin' goin' on" while watching this.

[@E4RLIES]

Really great camera work, some fantastic shots there!

[@stormytempest3907]

Some Good jockies piloting those babies! Take my Hat off to them!

[@johnnys7338]

The PIA 777 near the end of the video had me biting my nails. I think touching down that late, most pilots would have probably called it and gone around for another attempt. Looked like he needed every bit of braking power to stop before the end of the runway!

[@hamza3p342]

Johnny S the PIA pilots are very skilled as they get trained by the airforce and are used to flying in worser weather conditions in Pakistan. I would recommend you watching a video of them flying to Gilgit airport kzbin.info/www/bejne/o2KaY3SVdtWpoZI

Takeoff into a serious headwind. Wonder what the initial climb feels like. Takeoff plus being on an elevator?

Airbus please dont stop the production of the 380. it is majestic and the best in the skyes

[@bretkellam6429]

as I sit here and watch these, I have a question. if you raise a child watching videos of these to/landings, would they be less inclined to be frightened to fly? This is wonderful btw. Thank you for taking the time to create this for us.

So glad weather was more friendly when I landed at BHX! 🙂

[@chatnoir2333]

I don't know about you guys but I'd be digging my nails on the arm rests on those seats of those planes. Turbulence at that magnitude I'd be kissing the ground once we get on the ground white knuckles and all.

[@Trevor_Austin]

*Chat Noir* - The best way of handling turbulence like this is to relax as much as possible. You can only ‘white knuckle’ for so long. Also you need considerably less faith to believe there will be a good outcome than to believe god/s exist.

[@chatnoir2333]

@@Trevor_Austin thanks Trevor I'll remember that when I experience a situation like so.😉🤗💖😸

[@verabolton]

Been there, done it. When the flight attendants are told to sit down mid flight - you know it's not a joke anymore. Everyone is very, very quiet apart from those sick... and hard to find an atheist, I guess. Our landing was seasoned with hailstone - I saw it from the window and I thought it was snowing.

[@verabolton]

@shutup My nightmare flight was from Belfast to Birmingham. Short but unforgettable: during a hurricane. We made an emergency descent above the Irish Sea and when we crossed the coastline I thought the plane will fall apart. It was terrifying, I don't understand why they fly in such condition.

[@sweetflower8]

I would be asking for forgiveness 🙏

In another Ciara video I have watched a lot of planes diverted to Munich & at least one to Spain. Did one approach then diverted immediately. I imagine that taken as a whole Britain & Western Europe has a lot of suitable runways available for situations like Ciara.

[@BIZKIT551]

Ryanair will land even if there is a Hurricane. No such thing as a go around for them. They'll land even if it means breaking a few bones inside.

Ryanair don't do go-arounds full stop, the extra fuel is considered unnecessary weight!

[@JackHansen1997]

I think Thomson (amongst other carriers) have been operating 737-800s with some newer generation upgrades (like the dual finned winglets), making them resemble a MAX somewhat but they don't have the engine upgrades and different shaped (more pointed) APU exhaust that the MAX can be recognised by

[@gdfggggg]

Is it the onboard computers controlling the aircraft ie to stop it from rolling over when landing? The flaps on the large wings seem to working when it rolls/tips sideways. I believe the pilot controls the rudder upon landing to keep the plane in a straight line on the runway. Cheers.
