Sam Amoo thank you. I‘m aware of the fact that normal landing speed is around 170mph (273kmh). But it always looks so slow even from another point of view.
It is so awesome to see the skill of these pilots. The rudder inputs are extreme and with authority. How they go from crab angle to weathervaining is unbelievable.
Are those pilots amazing or what! Excellent video too. I appreciated that the captions lasted long enough to read fully. Thanks. Fascinating to see the amount of turbulent spray with the reverse thrust, especially with the A380s and B747. Also the extensive rudder use after touchdown. Totally awesome video again.
I did not know that so had another look at the video. It shows the fact well for the left-side engines. Cross-wind and camera angle masks it on the right side. Also - amazing upward wing flex particularly with the Dreamliner (B788?) at the start.
Fully agree on the pilots skill level. For me, just seeing pilots land the massive A380 in good weather is amazing. I sat at IAH (Houston) just before Hurricane Harvey unleashed its full potential on the city and shut it down. Runway was quite wet and I got to see the spray from an A380, it's awesome! For a few seconds I thought the wind was affecting the rudders in the video. Also, thank you Ian, learned something new about the A380!
The reason is, that with the long wings, the outer engines are too near to the grassed areas, particularly on narrower runways, and an unacceptable risk of soil and stones being blown up and causing damage so Airbus designed it out. Also, the visibly moving rudder in the seconds after first contact with the ground, is the pilot “straightening-out” , from the plane’s crosswind-attitude on approach, to align the plane with, the runway centreline once down. Regards all.
I landed at Gatwick from Barbados early this morning. I am so grateful to the pilots and cabin crew of British Airways. There was an attempt at landing, but it was not possible. People were screaming and crying. We had to circle the airport for about half an hour. The pilot explained that he was waiting for instructions. Things were so silent - apart from the noise of the aircraft. There was an absence of conversation and things were eerily silent. As we hit the runway, people applauded. It was so scary.
Yeah... As already mentioned... They have a lot of practice thanks to Hongkong airport... Been there dozens of times and half the time had a go around 😅
These pilots are worth ten times more than they're paid to do their job. This is fabulous flying control in totally unsuitable weather conditions and with the responsibility of so many souls.
Was on the 747 from Vancouver. Recall the moment they put the landing gear back in, the Captain announced on the loud speaker "Don't worry, we are trained for this" with no further explanation.
Flew from London to Bilbao (Spain) last Monday... something similar to this... so scary because of Storm Ciara in London and also because of strong winds in Bilbao
I was on a saudia flight SV117 from riyadh to LHR on saturday 15th feb. And we came in sideways too, exactly like these. Insane pilot skill. We had the front camera on the whole time (we were on a boeing triple 7) luggage came down from the overheads and at one point we didnt even have the runway in front of us, pilot managed to recover it. Im ex forces and flown into some crazy places in tactical landings, this was right up with those experiances.
You know, I just saw images of my landing on BA268 flight Airbus A388 from Los-Angeles. I’m scared now than when I was on the plane. "Our crew really deserved that explosion of applauses.
3:28 You see, ya gotta keep that windward wing really low. Ya drop down, nice and steady ya see, like a rock falling outta the sky ya know. Then ya level it out right before ya touch down and grab hold with both feet. Piece o' cake! Bob's your uncle! Now that's a nice fresh air landin'!
On a flight one time, in the 1970s, to Dublin from JFK, on an Aer Lingus Boeing 707, my mom went hysterical, yelling the engine is going to fall off, we hit a pocket of turbulence and had to drop what felt like 1000 ft in a second or two, my mom screaming, me and my bro (like 8 yrs old), having the time of our life, laughing hysterically, like we were on a roller coaster.
I love flying ,and have been lucky enough to escape bad winds,except for a bit of turbulence the only scary moment for me was coming into LHR on a really foggy night in december, eva airways and coming in over london i remember seeing the shard or the egg just poking up through the thick fog, was i glad when we touched down, seeme a little fast to me but was greatfull to the skills of the pilots, and thankful we didn't get diverted ,.these guys are heroes in my eyes ,.
Too bad Airbus will never get back their 25 billion dollar investment into this machine, and production will end in 2021. 747 began in 1968 and is still in production. The worlds first Jumbo Jet will never be dethroned due to this record. NOTE: Airbus A380-800 equals Airbus A388. Same plane. Ironcrafter used an incomplete designation which can cause confusion. Compare the landings at 4:00 and 8:00. 747-400 vs. A380-800. The 747 is actually smoother.
@@hyperluminalreality1 the a380s landing was wayy smoother. Btw the b747 burns 5 gallons per mile and the a380 only burns 2.5 gallons and it's more fuel efficient than an average car
Side motion in the back of those planes had to have been a hoot. Whee! For all the hours in simulators pilots practicing these challenging conditions, this is the opportunity to demonstrate what they learned. Now imagine doing this engine out, or a systems failure. They practice that, too. Hats off to all pilots who thrive on challenges.
@@m0npho752 Thank you for the name calling although I would consider ignorance, being a lack of knowledge, to be more linguistically correct since I never flew anything larger than a Cessna 172. And apparently you have first hand knowledge about landing an Airbus 380 in 50 kt gusts with a 20 degree cross wind. Great to have specific knowledge. So I submit to your greater knowledge. Stupidity however is a failure to in the ability to process a hyperbole for what it is. Stupidity is not considering that it doesn't cost extra to be either nice or just quiet. May all your landings be happy and safe.
1:10 it's just insane how slow the approach speed on an a380 is, it almost just seems to float to the ground. I love flying the a380 but am always a bit nervous because it always seems we're going to slow for landing.
@@chrishb7074 Actually the A380 does have a slower approach speed than other aircraft, due to the large surface area of the wings. But its massiveness does add onto the feeling of a slow moving plane.
@@mgrides27 True, I meant they're all playing nice together and approaching the threshold at the same speed. Today into LHR it's about 150kt airspeed, Flightradar shows 120kt groundspeed and Ventusky adds a 30kt headwind at 1000ft. So the A380 has always got a comfortable speed margin between what it needs to stay flying and what they want to use for a busy airport landing. What I intended to say was it's not like Twin Otter or a PC12 landing speed, Storm Dennis would have had those planes flying backwards. Whatever. An A380 with all its kit out, landing in the wet, is a spectacular thing and makes a 747 look all cute and delicate by comparison. I do love that people make the effort to record these flights and showcase the level of pilot skill and proficiency that makes it safe. Let's hope YTs algorithms can help offset some of the flying fear propagated by the news media.
@@Tampa0123456789 I actually think it's because of the strong head wind. The planes can fly slower without stalling. So they're actually moving relatively slow in comparison to when they land in good weather conditions.
They should make these planes with extendable landing gear like inspector gadget so that if it gets wobbly they can just reach down to touch the ground innit
Oh yeaaah soo powerful pilot a real king. watching dis from here with my rock playlist crancked to 11. Delta Parole and other rock band etc. LIT LIT LIT!

Just love how the a 380 lands...it almost descends like a bird..
Absolutely stunning how this superheavy planes almost stand in midair while landing.
The bigger a plane the slower it looks
They are moving but since the camera is zoomed faraway away you cannot see the motion. Check Bernoulli's principle. It ain't a magic, it is science.
Sam Amoo we know all that, but it just looks impressive to the almost impossible.
Scary how powerful the wind is, to give this plane the appearance of floating!
Sam Amoo thank you. I‘m aware of the fact that normal landing speed is around 170mph (273kmh). But it always looks so slow even from another point of view.
This is when they earn their wages, and reputation as skilled professionals.
Thanks for the video.
Never a truer word said... 👍🏾
Do you mean Etihad pilots?
Thank you Lord for the safe landing even in the storm.
I like how birds fly around in stormy weather with ease teasing planes struggling to land
It is so awesome to see the skill of these pilots. The rudder inputs are extreme and with authority. How they go from crab angle to weathervaining is unbelievable.
WOW! THESE PILOTS ARE GREAT. YOU ARE BRAVE TOO RECORDING IN THAT STORM. THANKS FOR SHARING
I truly admire your dedication and skill - Both to pilots and Cameraman - Well done.

Fascinating to see the amount of turbulent spray with the reverse thrust, especially with the A380s and B747. Also the extensive rudder use after touchdown.

Gary Dye btw a380 only has reverse thrust on inner two engines.

I don't know much about aircraft but I must say hats off to the cameraman and to the pilots, fabulous video 👍
The control the pilots have is amazing, landing in high winds is a skill that takes ages to learn. Bravo
WOW!!!! Great Winter Storm Video! Thumbs Up!
Thank you for posting. Well done to all Pilots and their crew for the bravery shown here. Good job all around. Kudos.
Good job. I flew through storm Ciara and it was awful at landing. The pilots are incredible these days and the beautiful machines to guide them!
That first clip is fantastic - even better with no shouting.
That Cathay Pacific landing was the most perfect landing
I've seen rain or shine. It was as impressive as the rough ones.
with the weather they get in HK they get plenty of practice!
hmmm that's hard to judge actually because gusts are not constant. Maybe Cathay pacific had slightly better conditions for landing.
Really, oh really, lol
Yeah... As already mentioned... They have a lot of practice thanks to Hongkong airport... Been there dozens of times and half the time had a go around 😅
Agreed. Beautiful landing
How skilled are the flight crew !! Tough landing conditions like this must test them !! Great video...and well done !!

Great videography. Thanks for getting out there for us. That was a very good viewing experience.
3:28 Seagull: Look, it's easy. Just follow me and I'll show you how it's done! XD
I was thinking about that too. Relative to the birds little size that wind must be excessively strong yet they fly without much effort.
Yup, The birds are expert.
*gets sucked into turbine
The technology of seagulls' wings is far, far superior to aeroplanes' fixed wings.
A380: "Bit of a mild breeze today."
Everyone else: Redirected to another country.
Haven't flown since 1991, and watching this I won't be ever again. These pilots have to do this on a daily basis, brave folk.
@Common Sensicle Why? It’s so much fun
Thank you well trained and brave men and women flying these planes
Imagine being passengers and the plane is rocking constantly on descent. Those pilots had to wrestle those beasts. Incredible job.
Was one such flight during Ciara, it's as bad as you imagine it to be. People clapped at the end (in Western Europe).
What professional pilots we got they managed very well
Thanks for weathering the storm so we can see these beauties coming in for a landing. May your ambrella hold strong!
I didn't know I could hold my breath for 13 mins and 23 secs, Amazing pilots
