white zebra Yes really. Landing in gusty cross winds it's not only about rudder control, throttle and other factors are involved. How many hours do you have in twins in stiff cross winds?
Flew in Turboprop late eighties into Aspen. On approach a downburst was so strong it dropped us on the runway and due the pilot skills he got a sitting ovation. Unforgettable.
+mattfgln I had exactly that experience sitting in the rear of a Dash 8 coming into BHX one year ago. I could see straight down the centreline as we crabbed in, then plonked it down and kicked it straight at the last second. Guess the pilots earn their wages on days like that!!
+mattfgln 9-4-2004, landing in Tampa, as Frances was making landfall in Miami. I was that pax. Port side, just behind the wing. Bad ass. (and he buttered it).
Great flying skills, but what's really impressive is the camera skills! Crystal clear, beautifully focused, flawless panning. You sir have skills, was a joy to watch!
Great video, you've got some good spotting locations at that airport. Also like the way you filmed some place out of the wind and just overlayed that audio, nice one!
Great video. Makes one realize how sensitive to crosswind these smaller ships are. On the other hand they can glide for much longer than a heavier jet, or so I've been told.
@@thecaynuck4694 J E is criticizing people for discussing the topic because they aren't in his elite group of pilots/engineers. He'd apparently rather that they just be mere consumers of information from them and not attempt to understand it themselves. This is disappointing gatekeeping behavior because every engineer began by trying things beyond themselves, most as children. Anyone in the field should welcome others trying to take part in general discussions like this.
Better there than on one of those planes lol. And I thought they all did remarkably well considering. Straight down the centre line for each one so good job 👍
Some of them paid not much as public transportation subway and bus operators. That one pilot in Buffalo, that caused a crash, was making 34K a year, pathetic.
I knew one of those type of pilots back in the late 80’s. His wife and my wife worked together and so we hung out. I cringed when he told me how little they make as the main company holds that carrot out in front of them. It was the only way to get into the bigger planes kind of like a farm team in baseball. The funniest thing ever though was the first time we were over at their house for dinner and then some drinking and party on. So he motions for me to go down the hallway with him, we step into the room and he says he has a surprise for me. That’s when he points out that on the bookshelf he’s got two fat lines of coke and yes I was surprised lol So I said I have a surprise for you as well lol. That’s when I showed him my badge lol. You should have seen his face all the colour drained out of it and I thought he was going to pass out lol. So he didn’t do anything but stare at me for the longest 10 seconds ever lol. Then he snapped out of it and handed me a rolled up $50 bill. So I did what any of my fellow LAPD brothers back in the day would have done, one line up one nostril and one line up the other lol I handed him the $50 and said thank you as I walked down the hallway lol back to the ladies lol
Honestly the skills of these pilots are astonishing. Nothing troubled at all. Just extreme conditions and very well trained professional pilots handling it every second! Awesome.
I only flew a few times in a turboprop, but with very bad weather and rain the brake very quickly. My nearest airport is horrible for landings, one time the A320 needs to try 4 times landing at the airport, and two times is the normal, very few times they land in the first approximation. But with the turboprop, ATR42/74, they do at first approximation, always.
Best crosswind aircraft landing video iv'e seen yet. Superb picture quality perfect background sound and the slow motion segments couldn't have been timed any better. Very well done!!!!!!!!!!!
It’s great to know that when its “game on” flybe pilots can still really fly there aircraft by the seat of their pants, so good to see in this day and age of everything controlled by the aircraft, just some fantastic flying.
+Jim Foreman That was the thing I noticed too. I always understood it was best to limit rudder use, but they didn't have much choice here. Crazy rides and great pilots!
+Peter Kelly Most if not all modern aircraft have integrated rudder limiting systems. The systems use airspeed information (airspeed ranges) to stop rudder travel at preset deflection limits, thus reducing stress on the vert. stabilizer. At approach and landing speeds the pilots have full rudder deflection authority. However, as you said, it is good practice to take it easy, especially going lock to lock!
it has an airbus fly by wire control, which means every action taken by the pilot must go through a committee in brussels, then to toulose, then must be cleared with Angela merkel to ensure no immigrants are offended by the movement of the control surface, once cleared it goes back to the control servo of the aircraft, and may or may not do what the pilot intends it to do.. he's probably too busy doing sensitivity training on his lap to to be flying anyways... I'll stick to the Q400 any day.. besides.. It's STOL performance can clear a 50 tall block of EU protesters with only a 600 foot runway at MTOW with no head wind.. And .. it automatically clears the toilets when over Molenbeek.. brilliant aircraft..
Back when I had the Fokker, other pilots were always wanting to trade rides with me in our planes. One guy I knew was a good pilot had a gyrocopter and we decided to swap rides. I did a cockpit check with him and off he went in the Fokker. When he returned he did the same with me, telling me that it didn't respond quickly to control inputs and I should just wait and it would do what I wanted. I got it up to speed on a taxiway and eased back on the stick... nothing happened but the whap-whap-whap sound changed. I had pretty well given up when all of a sudden it hopped off the ground. I gingerly got it back down, taxied back to where he was waiting and told him I could log 20 seconds of rotary wing time.
Nasty conditions. Especially, for high wings - that don't get that ground effect to soften things before touchdown. Serious pilots. GREAT shots as usual, Flug.
These videos are absolutely amazing. Would love to purchase any snaps or video of any of my landings at BHX if you do such a thing. Currently on the Dash 8 and fly around 5 days a week. Hopeful, Tim
What is the oddity at 1:31 ? It has the main wing of a Dash 8, but neither the face nor tail of one. Also the ATR before it probably should have had a Go-Around.
The main problem is with high wing and T tail aircraft. They don't handle crosswinds as well as low wing aircraft. The Saab 340 is a turbo prop and it's shit hot in crosswinds.
These lighter aircraft have lower landing speeds than the big boys, so the crosswinds are a larger proportion of forward speed, and the effects are more pronounced. Slow the landing speed enough, and the airplane would have to crab almost directly into the cross wind to maintain the runway centerline on approach.
this... was AWESOME. good job, sir. no music, shot from various angles, and in crystal clear hd to boot. thanks! i wonder if the pilots warn the passengers to prepare for these (pretty much) crash landings. and is it my imagination, or is that one wavy runway?
Gene, there's something wrong with the PIC who chooses to risk hull loss, and more importantly, injury and possible death to his or her passengers. That's why we fly to alternate airports. That first landing is a royal death bomb. I can understand some mitigating circumstance but it seems to me, at least the first landing was the pilot showing machismo. I would've been tempted to deck him when I walked off.
I agree!!! I have always wanted to learn to fly...but not sure how well I would handle conditions like this. I know even in a little Cessna or similar private aircraft you train for crosswind landings...but the bulk of the landings in this video are right on the edge of being a go around and possible divert to a calmer wind Airport. Great job flight crews...thankful I was not behind the controls...and not sure I would have handled being a passenger very well either. I may just stick to my flight sim where I can never end up killing myself or anyone else. In my flight sim...I turned up my crosswind to 50 knots, hoped in my Cessna 172, and about hovered in for a landing (after a few crash resets of course), but I think max crosswind legally flyable landing is about 15 to 20 knots if I remember correctly. It was actually just about as difficult to keep the plane from blowing of the runway when I tried to reduce my power and taxi to the ramp as it was to get it down on the runway. Something else I could never master on the sim was trying to land the V-22 Osprey...the military twin blade vertical take off and landing troop and supply carrier. It flies like a plane but has to land like a helicopter because it's blades would strike the ground if not rotated vertically for take off and landing. Some special skills required for that 🐦!
I didn't see any crosswind landing techniques employed. What happens to pilots when they graduate to the bigger planes.....do they forget the basics? (Former Instructor)
Neil Cutten Yes, it'a a good thing the pax don't realize the pilots in this video are greenhorns and haven't a clue. 9 out of 10 of these pilots will proudly laugh after landings like that and say, "DUDE !!!.....I have almost 2,000 hours! I'm a CFI and I still pitch for speed and throttle for glide angle!" Or, "DUDE !!! That's how my instructor taught me. And besides, the plane was DESIGNED to be landed this way!" After watching this video, there's no wonder why I hear so many people say, "I'll fly in a big jet but totally hate to ride in those little "puddle jumpers!" It's because of some of clowns they have for pilots!
I've said this in another comment but once in something sized beyond a 172, sideslip landings are not normally done. It's not very hard to clip a wingtip or an engine. It's also weird for the passengers. Even in my Caravan days we were told no side slips for passenger sake. As far as "power for glide path comment" I don't get it? That is what you do. Hold Vref with pitch and power for glideslope. Both just happen at the same time in my view. Especially if coupled.
Extraace - the Caravan is an awfully nice plane to fly! Whilst the turbine lacks the acceleration of a piston engine, the power delivery is pretty stunning (for one who used to fly 147's!) It says a lot that the pilot I went up with, used to fly Caravans for no money - he enjoyed the plane so much (it helped that he has "significant family wealth" I suppose! :-) )
Yes, it is good. That was probably the most fun flying of my career so far and it was my first "real" job. Inter island flying with great scenery, longest flight was an hour. But, unfortunately no family wealth here. It was fun but I could barely pay my bills and had to move on.
Man the local regional here uses them and man, hit a pocket of low pressure in those or wrong gusts of wind it feels like it's sinking out of the sky lol
These videos are filmed shooting lengthwise down almost 2 miles of runway....it seems very hilly from this perspective in the video but in reality the hills are not even noticeable and the runways appear totally flat.
The camera angle used here makes the runway look a lot more hilly than it really is. The smallest little undulation can look like a big hillcrest when you're looking at a few miles of runway lengthwise.
Nicely compiled. Awesome flying skills! Would love to see the stick and rudder work in those cockpits! What a handfull ! Amazing. They didnt go around. Very cool
Honestly this is the best part of flying. after hours of 10 degree turns left and right this is the pilots moment of glory to himself and the ppl onboard.
The crosswind technique used in some companies for TURBOPROPS prior to flaring: 1. Rudder to straighten down the runway, 2. Bank into wind to compensate for drift, 3. Touchdown on the upwind main wheels, 4. Hold aileron into wind for remainder of rollout. Takes a while to master, but works really well. Unfortunately passengers can be put off by the yawing motion as you straighten the aircraft initially with rudder, but safety considerations far outweigh passenger comfort in these situations. I'll verbalise my intentions out loud on final as soon as I can identify the windsock. Helps prep my brain and muscles to respond appropriately and gives the other pilot a chance to hear my game plan if the conditions weren't previously briefed.
I see pilots that are landing difficult planes in the most severe conditions. These are the pilots that will soon be wrestling the big heavy planes to the ground. I applaud you all.
Welcome to Birmingham (Elmdon) or BHX / EGBB: Where at 3:50 I could swear that it's me returning from my local pub after a DGP (damn good p*** up!) Clearly showing what your best combination is for handling these conditions when engaged in 'thump thump flight' operations - the nickname for short regionals as they have to land so frequently. Stable equilibrium in your undercarriage (Dash 8-Q402 and Fokker 50) and the technique of landing flat as opposed to with an excessive up angle. The ATR-72s don't fair as well with their narrow main undercarriage wheelbases spelling unstable equilibrium. Then the Saab SF340B with low wing configuration has to contend with ground effect more than your high wingers do reducing braking ability :o)
First of all..those French Canadians can really build an aircraft!....as for the Pilots, Bravo...Bravo... that's how it's done....something A COMPUTER CAN NEVER DO.

Any landing that you can walk away from is a good landing!
+Buttermybutt Are those the standards that you uphold?
lol right you are! i think a lot people take these videos a little to seriously.
Alborz A great landing is when a passenger is still going to fly by plane in the future
Any landing where the aircraft is usable the next day is a great landing ! (Chuck Yeager )

Regardless of the crosswind, every touchdown is straight on the centre line!
I do appreciate the slow mo when the gear touches down 👌👍 thumbs up for sure

My favourite was the Flybe Q400 at 2:50. Super video! Liked and subscribed :) Greetings from Canada!
One of only few using a good crosswind technique!
Crazy to watch. But in heavy crosswinds (which is the whole reason these look so crazy) - one wheel at a time is the correct technique. Great video!
Their trouble is being small and light, not the fact they are turbo props
Yeah but most turboprops are light, so that's why he said that
Yeah but they’re turboprops and they’re troubled so it’s a valid title

This video is what I love about youtube. Thank you.
do the turboprops play a big role in this? in other words, if they were regular jet engines would this still happen?
You could have the same situation with any plane.
Yep. Same for small 2-seat planes and large jumbos. You can see similar videos from HongKong airport with dancing 747-s.
Dan Ivanov Yes it doesn happen with jets. There are some spectacular videos of jumbos coming in to land almost sideways.
The main problem is with high wing and T tail aircraft. They don't handle crosswinds as well as low wing aircraft. The Saab 340 is a turbo prop and it's shit hot in crosswinds.

Beautiful footage! That's one hell of a crosswind. Yikes
Dash 8 > ATR
400 right
Офигеть. Бедные пассажиры. Пилоты красавцы
why are some runway built with hills so they are not even why dont they level the ground befor they make the runway
Because the Earth is not flat...
These videos are filmed shooting lengthwise down almost 2 miles of runway....it seems very hilly from this perspective in the video but in reality the hills are not even noticeable and the runways appear totally flat.
You don't want water flowing on the runway, let's not spend money and let gravity do the job...
3:15 though
The camera angle used here makes the runway look a lot more hilly than it really is. The smallest little undulation can look like a big hillcrest when you're looking at a few miles of runway lengthwise.
Nicely compiled. Awesome flying skills! Would love to see the stick and rudder work in those cockpits! What a handfull ! Amazing. They didnt go around. Very cool
Awesome compilation. Pretty scary touchdowns.
THESE ARE ACTUALLY INCREDIBLE JOBS BY SOME VERY GOOD COMMERCIAL PILOTS. BIG TIME CROSSWIND TECHNIQURS BEAUTIFULLY EXECUTED.
Honestly this is the best part of flying. after hours of 10 degree turns left and right this is the pilots moment of glory to himself and the ppl onboard.
Props to those pilots.
Hehe “props” to those pilots lol
The crosswind technique used in some companies for TURBOPROPS prior to flaring:
1. Rudder to straighten down the runway,
2. Bank into wind to compensate for drift,
3. Touchdown on the upwind main wheels,
4. Hold aileron into wind for remainder of rollout.
Takes a while to master, but works really well. Unfortunately passengers can be put off by the yawing motion as you straighten the aircraft initially with rudder, but safety considerations far outweigh passenger comfort in these situations.
I'll verbalise my intentions out loud on final as soon as I can identify the windsock. Helps prep my brain and muscles to respond appropriately and gives the other pilot a chance to hear my game plan if the conditions weren't previously briefed.
I see pilots that are landing difficult planes in the most severe conditions. These are the pilots that will soon be wrestling the big heavy planes to the ground. I applaud you all.
great camera work, I LOVE flybe, nice cabin crew.
Miss those turboprops - great aircraft and extremely fast and efficient.
Showing some of these landings in slow motion is a great idea.
Welcome to Birmingham (Elmdon) or BHX / EGBB: Where at 3:50 I could swear that it's me returning from my local pub after a DGP (damn good p*** up!) Clearly showing what your best combination is for handling these conditions when engaged in 'thump thump flight' operations - the nickname for short regionals as they have to land so frequently. Stable equilibrium in your undercarriage (Dash 8-Q402 and Fokker 50) and the technique of landing flat as opposed to with an excessive up angle. The ATR-72s don't fair as well with their narrow main undercarriage wheelbases spelling unstable equilibrium. Then the Saab SF340B with low wing configuration has to contend with ground effect more than your high wingers do reducing braking ability :o)
brilliant footage thankyou
Great coverage. There is something really Daddy Long Legs about these A/Cs Lol Love it
Hilarious to see those poor spindle planes getting thrown around! Great video, thanks for cheering me up 😀
First of all..those French Canadians can really build an aircraft!....as for the Pilots, Bravo...Bravo...
that's how it's done....something A COMPUTER CAN NEVER DO.
wonderful. What a great example of excellent flying skills
Great work from the pilots and we can safely assume a lot of relieved passengers.
If I was a passenger, I'd be going "Wheee - Let's do that again!"
That video was breath taking thank you
I flew in to Kennedy many years ago, and noticed that the aircraft (DC9?) was landing sideways. Woke me right up!
Crosswind landings can be very tricky. Some great flying in this video.
wow the slow motion footage is great!
