Thank you so much bro. Much appreciated please do check out other videos you will like it and also checkout the LIVE section with the full 6 hour stream from Gatwick and also we will be live from LCY on Wednesday, join us if you can.
@@jmw0368 while you’re right that pilots train extensively for these situations, calling crosswind landings ‘quite normal’ overlooks the complexity involved. Crosswind landings require precise control inputs to counteract the wind-pilots use techniques like the crab method or a sideslip to maintain runway alignment. This is further complicated when wind gusts are unpredictable, as they often are during storms like Storm Bert. Yes, pilots are trained for this, but training doesn’t make it easy-it makes it possible. The fact that they land safely, often under extreme conditions, deserves recognition. It’s not luck, but it’s also far from routine when you factor in strong crosswinds and gusts. Credit where credit’s due.
@@3orion33 💯% Skills of those pilots we need to Salute 🫡. I will also not forget the experience of holding the tripod with both hands 🤣🤣🤣. Honestly can’t believe sometimes that we did 6 hours stream.
@@AeroCapture747 thanks bro, yeah sure use it . Send me the link once you upload it . Please don’t forget the credit in the actual video and description. 🛫
Honestly every landing, go around and take off were scary but hats of the pilot and flight crew. To fly a plane in those conditions you need to have strong heart and clear mind and skills were nextblevel
Emotional?…..No! Great skill?….No! That’s exactly what they train for (over and over again)…..These landings are not as a result of any risk, chance, or luck.
@BobBob-cu7ne which city are you from? I went to do stream from Gatwick during Storm Darragh but the rain and wind were too strong and blew apart the cover of my powerbank and I had to end the stream
when the ek 15 go-arounds flew over my house, I took a few pictures, I would really like to get to the location where you did the live but I have no idea how to get there
thanks for the video. What would be the point to divert from Heathrow? It doesnt look like the conditions at Gatwick were any better, they actually look worse :S
I personally think it could be to do with safety and keeping in mind the amount of fuel left and how many flights are in the holding pattern. Although there is no specific figure like 1 or 2 tries but on Sunday most flights that did 2 attempts were sent to other nearby airports like Birmingham and London Stansted. Heathrow sky is really busy in general and if just few had to go around just imagine the strain in the Atc
I'm enjoying this edit version - but I'm not familiar with the planes - I'm not really much of a plane spotter, ( though even I recognise the A380). If possible, could you name the planes? I realise that the skill of the pilot is all important, but I'm curious which plane lands more smoothly - the Boeing or the Airbus.
Sure , i will try to get them in the comments section by this evening. Easyjet are all A319-320, Emirates A380, Saudi were Boeing 787 & 777. China Southern was Airbus A350 . i will put details out soon.
Storm Cornall is coming over Holland in the evening/night. Sounds great whit my new Denon soundbar HOME surround set. Maybe later this day they have the same problem in Schiphol airport.
Good catch! The ATR likely had one set of spoilers out because of the strong crosswinds. Pilots use this technique to help control the plane during windy landings, especially when the wind is pushing from one side.
Why, oh why do people think the pilots are pulling off these landings by some extraordinary luck? Pilots train endlessly for ALL weather conditions, and these are NOT any surprise conditions….it’s just a fully expected part of their job. They don’t (and wouldn’t) make these landings by chance, or as a result of any special ‘skill’. I’m not for one minute saying it’s easy, or that I could do it, but I do wish people would stop back-patting something that is quite normal.

absolutely fantastic my friend. I just came across this video and I am very much looking forward to more from you!

Amazing captures, thank you for sharing! Kudos to all the pilots successfully braving the harsh stormy winds.
@@hudycat thanks for your kind comment, of course 💯 % the pilots did a fantastic job during the storm ⛈️
The pilots weren’t ’braving’ anything at all, it’s just another condition that they train for!

All pilots are elite - respect
Huge respect to them. It’s hard being responsible for so many people and to top it up with flying in conditions like these.
All pilots train, for all weathers….no luck involved!
@@jmw0368 that is somewhat true but remember training in a Sim and flying in real life when you have souls on board is a different scenario.
😲😳Passengers will be talking about this experience for a loooong time !

Some superb flying by pilots. 👏👏👏
@@cherylsapcote7327 absolutely brilliant skills by these pilots specially ATR and the Dash-8 Props pilots 😃
Some normal / everyday flying actually.
That looks awesome from that perspective 😍
May i use a clip or 2 in one of my videos? Ofcourse i'll give credit in the video and description, thanks 😊

Intense to us (the audience), nothing unusual to the pilots.
great captures! subscribed.
@@macrovigilance much appreciated 🥰
enjoyed every minute. fun to watch and listen too.
@@ADRIAN-n1s3v glad you liked it bro 😎. Much appreciated
@RankUpAviation are you going to be doing tomorrows landings?
4:05 EK nailed it.
It was on the 2nd attempt , he was so much better lined up than the 1st attempt.
Don't know about anyone else but I find these landings quite emotional......Great skill.......thanks.
Honestly it was scary from my point and just hats off to these amazing pilots . Nerve of steel
Emotional?…..No!
Great skill?….No!
That’s exactly what they train for (over and over again)…..These landings are not as a result of any risk, chance, or luck.
We've just had storm Darragh, the waether here is mad!
@BobBob-cu7ne which city are you from? I went to do stream from Gatwick during Storm Darragh but the rain and wind were too strong and blew apart the cover of my powerbank and I had to end the stream
@ I am from a place called St Neots, nearer to Luton and Stanstead
@BobBob-cu7nenear Cambridge 😊.
@BobBob-cu7neI have never done a live stream from Luton . Stansted I done quite few
@@RankupAviation The planes always fly over my house on their way to Luton, they take a massive detour for some reason
APPLAUSE FOR ALL THE SKILLED PILOTS
100% Next level skills from these pilots. imagine the level of responsibility on them to land the plane safely and keep the passengers safely.
What, for doing their job?
when the ek 15 go-arounds flew over my house, I took a few pictures, I would really like to get to the location where you did the live but I have no idea how to get there
Wow , Was this today ?
@@ActuallyAviation3105 no bro it was on Sunday. Check out the whole stream in the Live section . 6 hours of live stream in 50+ mph winds
@@RankupAviation oh yea I saw that I watched the whole live stream btw I just forgot abt them landings , my memory isn’t very good lol
Great to watch but not to be part of.... insane skill from these pilots.
@@jamesgay3207 exactly next level skills , imagine you have responsibilities of 100’s of passengers in your hand 🫡
Insane amount of training for all eventualities.
Love your accent and sense of humor ❤
3:15 Wizz Air looking a bit nose high just before touchdown for a 321...
i was thinking it few more inches and it could had been a tail strike also for that wizz. but extraordinary level of skills for all these pilots.

@RankupAviation brilliant. Thank you.

Hope everyone is safe during storm Cornall 😮
Nice, what u have gine through. Tough lad
@@bilalawan5182 thanks mate 👌🛫
3:04 pitch warning here.
Are you a pilot ? It was a challenging day for pilots and passengers
@ glider pilot not commercial yet. Brother is one, flies for wizz so he knew the FO on this flight
@ that nice bro. 😎 what speed do you have to be while landing in such storm ?
@@RankupAviation we dont fly in such wind just a stupid think to do in a glider.
@ omg 🤣 bro I am not talking about glider . I was talking about the A321N
Subscribed, liked and shared. Wishing you all the best with your channel in 2025.
@@MattWilliams482 thank you so much ☺️.
On the north coast of our country, wind gusts of up to 120 kilometers per hour are possible.
