Reminds me of a 40mph side wind landing I made in a Taylorcraft at Buffalo aerodrome in Amarillo. I got the sideye from the cattle near the turnaround on that one. It felt like I was flying a kite!
Exactly, Wideroe pilots are just fantastic/crazy. I went from Sandane to Orsta Volda and then to Oslo by Dash 8 once during wind/rain. Craziest flight ever. Sandane to Orsta Volda was just like a 10 or 15 minute roller coaster ride. Enjoyed every second of it, but it was just me and the crew probably... And we took off in literally 10 seconds. Dash 8s are really fantastic planes... and with those Wideroe pilots - they fly them like fighter jets... unforgettable....
@Sharron Clark Maybe you are right. But this guys are professionals. Look at any street worldwide, every third driver thinks he is a formula one racing pilot, especially in Germany. And they are no professionals, just normal drivers...
Excellent video. Had to watch it again. Those pilots are so skilled. Especially the first landing was impressive. I hope there's a lot of sick bags on those planes.
When I was learning to fly and hadn't yet done crosswind landings (or takeoffs) I was inadvertently allowed up on a day with a fairly strong crosswind as the CFI wasn't in the office. The takeoff was a bit weird as I began to drift across the runway but once airborne it was ok. The problems began when I tried to land, I had only read about the two main techniques, wing down and crabbing, but had never had instruction. I had to overshoot on the first five landings and as fuel was low (club planes are often deliberately low on fuel to save weight and avoid stress on the gear) I now really needed to get down. I was afraid to declare my predicament as the CFI was inclined to shout. I was crabbing towards the runway but every time I was about to flare the crosswind drifted me off the runway towards rough ground. On the sixth attempt, and pouring sweat I knew I had to get down somehow and this time I instinctively used the rudder to align with the grass runway just as I touched down and it worked. Convinced that everybody had been watching my clumsy attempts I was expecting some comments or jokes, but nobody was watching, nobody had seen anything! The next time out I requested crosswind training.
When the guys from flybe go around, it's surely some serious crosswinds, they're not new to strong winds! ...and I guess some air sickness bags got filled in this! :) Great camerawork by the way!
I remember when I was 11 we came in similarly and I was so oblivious to the danger I was smiling and enjoying myself the whole time. I still catch grief cause the rest of my family remembers white knuckling it the way in and were pissed I was calm.
Scary stuff! Yes,those pilots most certainly deserve their pay;they are fantastic with the way they handle these aircraft in such extreme weather conditions.
I always feel like the main gears of the Dash 8's are about to break off specially when it lands slightly sideways. Great camerawork and video, windy conditions makes everything great! :D
Nice one! Turboprops never fail to deliver a great show in gusty weather :D As for the passengers? Well, Let's just say I would not want to be onboard during those flights!
Wow - that's gotta feel mighty good to get all gearbon the ground under those conditions! Some real talent in a couple of those landings - must have carrier experience.
Holy moly. As a non pilot guy even i can see that this guy has a lot of skills. I could never pull this off. Hell i couldnt even land the plane with no wind
I remember sending my flight instructor a question like that on a windy day. He proceeded to send me a link to an article which I will paraphrase, the maximum crosswind on an aircraft is the highest wind demonstrated during testing, it has more to do with the pilots skills than the aircrafts ability.
That's why I think crabing into the wind is better than side slipping for wind correction, two of them in the video tried to transit from crabbing to side slip during round out ended up going around, pretty much unable to touchdown properly near the centerline
The first landing (0:44) put a lot of lateral stress on the right landing gear to the point I could see the gear bend. Better have that checked out cap'n before the next flight.
Hello, this is Sayaka from Fuji TV. We are covering the storm in Europe on our morning show. Did you film this video? Please could we get a permission to air it on our show? If yes, how may we credit you? Thanks.
You really call that ''landing safely''.. If wind conditions were really 70knts on landing , they all went over the aircraft's limitation on crosswind. So that would be really bad. Either conditions were within the aircraft limitations , or the text above is way out of proportion.
0:53 amazing flying, I imagine a small plane like this is obviously a bit more of a challenge that big one behind them. Wonder what that other pilot thought?
I arrived at Newark (NJ) in a 737 several years ago that felt like these looked. The plane was pretty empty, but no one said a word during the whole descent as the ride felt like being in a washing machine, before the pilot just threw that jet onto the runway. I've since watched these vids of lighter planes and wondered how that landing looked from outside, I'd love to see it!
Well done under immense stress. I will divert any time I have an option to avoid landing my twin in those conditions. That was definitely below my minimums.
Just came back from Germany yesterday. Flew from Düsseldorf to Leeds Bradford. Was soft for a windy landing at an airport that’s on a hill if that makes sense. Was there for two weeks visiting family. Flew on FlyBe.

As a Q400 pilot, I can tell you that when you see the wings flex, they were rocked HARD.
Max U how are you the top comment with one like and zero replies
The first one?
As a Q400 pilot, what are your thoughts on the first landing? A bit much sideload on those legs?
As a Q400 pilot it looks like a day that I would have called in sick.
I used to ride Q400 often when I was young in school.
This is what my first solo landing felt like even though it was clear skies and no wind.
Well, you appear to still be alive so . . . well done.
@@Cryptonymicus And if a plane is still airworthy then perfect job. :)
insightful!
Bob Donovan I had the great 👍 pleasure of doing my solo crabing to the runway due to intense side winds.
Reminds me of a 40mph side wind landing I made in a Taylorcraft at Buffalo aerodrome in Amarillo. I got the sideye from the cattle near the turnaround on that one. It felt like I was flying a kite!
You know it’s rocking when a Dash 8s wings flex.
By God the skill of pilots is off the charts.
Aren't these planes pretty much automated, fly by wire or sumthin like that???

Not a problem for Widerøe pilots. Just another day at work.
Widerøe - Best Dash 8 pilots in the world.
those Flybe guys are somethin' else, too

Just another day in the office.
According to literally no one.
There's a reason the Dash 8 is so popular. Horizon Air (QX) uses them here in Montana for iffy conditions. This video is spectacular.
These are the real pilots the ones that can land a plane in than conditions. Nice catches :)
The pilot managed to get her down right on the centerline on that last landing! Good job. Getting these down at all is outstanding though!
Agreed! That last was either masterful or very lucky ;)
Those were really wobbly approaches! Nice catches:)
In my opinion, I think the dash 8’s are the King Of The Props,
Excellent video.
Had to watch it again.
Those pilots are so skilled.
Especially the first landing was impressive.
I hope there's a lot of sick bags on those planes.
Best landing was the last
Clearly this pilot's skill level is well beyond the norm fearless.
*WOW!!! Excellent catch turboprop crosswind!!!*
I expect the passengers will be getting the train next time ...
In Germany all long distance trains and many local ones were cancelled because of the storm
Remember the plane is safer.
Well damn I’m flying one of these today :/
Are you a pilot José?
But before make a bricks in toilet after this flight....
Insane !!! You were in the perfect place to film these landings at the moment of the storm. Amazing and congratulations. Greetings from Mexico City.
First pilot was a G... he's like, come hell or high winds, I'm landing this muthatrucker
Yeah... put that Fokker on the ground at any cost
Great planes, built just 50 km south of my place. I see the green tail new ones being test flown near here. 🇨🇦

Slip it. Use the rudder to control alignment, ailerons to control drift.
The crosswind correction from the Flybe at 2:50 was beautiful
great video, those guys had their hands full, and passenger got a free thrill park ride too
Holy Cow! That first aircraft really was being tossed around like a leaf. You gotta know that there had to be some extremely terrified passengers.
That is one beautiful plane there
Hi
Well done. The faith the aircrew have in their skills and their aircraft under those conditions. Awesome.
Gracias por tan impresionante video, aquí Bolivia 🇧🇴
When the guys from flybe go around, it's surely some serious crosswinds, they're not new to strong winds! ...and I guess some air sickness bags got filled in this! :)
Great camerawork by the way!
Bad ass pilots there. They’ve definitely done their homework. Kudos to ya!!
0:53 that airbus was like "yo nice job mate"
F-27
If I was on those flights.. I'd close my eyes and hope for the best.. Haha. Keep up the great work! 👍👍
ryan moeller actually if you close your eyes, it will just make it worse (insert you must be fun at parties comment here)
@@ZK-APA you must be fun at partys.
Not but completely true. Better to look down on your feet or praying hands
I'd throw my hands in the air and go "Wheee!". I love turbulence. Where else do you get a rollercoaster without tracks? ^__^
3:56 textbook crosswind landing
Were they all flown by Harrier pilots ?
Landed like that once. They still can’t get the seat clean. 😳
Ron Parker ... lol what did you have for dinner? Mexican food?
I remember when I was 11 we came in similarly and I was so oblivious to the danger I was smiling and enjoying myself the whole time. I still catch grief cause the rest of my family remembers white knuckling it the way in and were pissed I was calm.
🤭🤭🤭
That Landing maneuver it's called crabbing into the crosswinds.
Gary Quail that’s a voluntary maneuver?
OMG...awesome landing, awesome video! Dash 8 + Storm = Spectaculair! :-) Greetz
The visible deflection of the wings is crazy. Those pilots are brave people indeed, and the passenger in need of an undies change.
Once again crystal clear smooth video with great content.
Scary stuff! Yes,those pilots most certainly deserve their pay;they are fantastic with the way they handle these aircraft in such extreme weather conditions.
Dude around 2:30 did a decent job given the horrible conditions haha.
Thank you for posting/sharing, nice camera work!
I always feel like the main gears of the Dash 8's are about to break off specially when it lands slightly sideways. Great camerawork and video, windy conditions makes everything great! :D
I wonder how much side loading they can take on the gears. :o
Nice one! Turboprops never fail to deliver a great show in gusty weather :D

Highly skilled pilots. Congradulations guys!
красавчики пилоты!!! РЕСПЕКТ!
Представляю сколько "кирпичей" отложили паксы)))
О, русские
Hey no kidding that would be fun . The faces of the passengers would be priceless .
Nice shots. Good video
Nobody:
Captain: I've waited my whole life for this.
lol
😬
Child: yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayy
Wow! Mein Respekt für all diese Piloten. Aber ich denke, die Flugaufsicht hatte auch alle Hände voll zu tun.
Und Danke für`s Hochladen.
Wow - that's gotta feel mighty good to get all gearbon the ground under those conditions! Some real talent in a couple of those landings - must have carrier experience.
Holy moly. As a non pilot guy even i can see that this guy has a lot of skills. I could never pull this off. Hell i couldnt even land the plane with no wind
This type of plane looks so dangerous if there is any wind.
They are all over the place during landings.
Insane skilled pilots 👍
I could not be a pilot, that’s for sure. Geat video, thanks for sharing!
Great video!!! The pilots did really a good job and it was a challenge of the passengers stomach ;-)). Cheers DrDuu
When gusts exceedes limitation, but she said nobody at home.
The mighty Dash!
What in the love of wind are you people talking about???

He proceeded to send me a link to an article which I will paraphrase, the maximum crosswind on an aircraft is the highest wind demonstrated during testing, it has more to do with the pilots skills than the aircrafts ability.
The first plane reminded me of a time when I came home after .25 Coors Light draft night in college.
You don't see that everyday! great footage!
3:38 like it was going through stress test
Craziest crabbing I have ever seen! The headwind had Dash 8's hovering in the air. Kudos to the ones who went around!
Now that's a pilot friends and neighbors.
Мастерство пилотов зашкаливает! Молодцы!
That's why I think crabing into the wind is better than side slipping for wind correction, two of them in the video tried to transit from crabbing to side slip during round out ended up going around, pretty much unable to touchdown properly near the centerline
Thanks for you video.
Love it.
Those bombardier pilots are outstanding.
Great video and excellent pilots
Excellent!
Time to watch whilst eating my lunch.
I truly hope I never have to experience something like this ....awesome pilot ....crazy skills
Who doesn't enjoy staring down the center line of the runway just before touchdown... from your seat behind the wing
Very Scary flights. would not have liked being a passenger, great to watch. Thank you
Passengers needed some underwear after landing. Doy you know if the airline supports it?
Depends.
Turboprops in general fare a whole lot better than one would expect in foul weather!
Airmanship at it's finest
The first landing (0:44) put a lot of lateral stress on the right landing gear to the point I could see the gear bend. Better have that checked out cap'n before the next flight.
I don't think so, I think it was just the angle at which we got see the travel of the gear. either way it gets checked every landing and take off

It's amazing to see those pilots fithing against the wind to land safely.

Good landing. Came in fast, no flaps, crawling as long as he or she had, straighten out the plane and landed. I'd fly with the driver any time.
These guys are amazing!
Thats some serious flying!!
0:53 amazing flying, I imagine a small plane like this is obviously a bit more of a challenge that big one behind them. Wonder what that other pilot thought?
Dash 8 pilots are like the Rally Drivers of the sky! Balls of Steel!

Mark von Karlsbad is this more or less dangerous in in a small prop plane than a big jet?
great landings
Well done under immense stress.
I will divert any time I have an option to avoid landing my twin in those conditions. That was definitely below my minimums.
I am guessing they had to restock the air sickness bags on those planes.
When your plane handles better as a helicopter at the end than a plane. This is crazy scary!
What a pilot! Was that Sully?😁
Тяжко,красавцы!
Awesome video.
One heck of a great landing.
That's just insane! Would have been seeking a nearby airport, without cross winds that take you from side to side please.
That suspension really did his work
Thank you again 👍
Woah nice catches ;)
Some hell of great pilots.
Just came back from Germany yesterday. Flew from Düsseldorf to Leeds Bradford. Was soft for a windy landing at an airport that’s on a hill if that makes sense. Was there for two weeks visiting family. Flew on FlyBe.
Excellent pilots !
Congrats to great skilled pilots...
That would be classed as a pretty good day at Wellington Airport in New Zealand. It regularly experiences landings just like those shown.
This is A++ flying.
