A380 Bravely Lands in Stormy Weather

- Impressive TUI Boeing 787-8 Go-around. London Gatwick airport during very awful Storm Eunice. This is where piloting skills really come to the forefront. Hats off to the pilots ! All these peoples lives in their hands. Absolutely tremendous skill from them.
My heart was pounding by filming it , can't imagine what it must be like being in the plane.
I did filmed these videos at London Gatwick Airport from 8am till 5pm. Here are some highlights. At one point for about 40 minutes no one was landing due to a very strong winds and heavy rain. Dozens of Go-arounds . Lots of flights were diverted to other cities and cancelled.
Emirates flight EK15 on Airbus A380 waited 45 minutes in the hold up area near Brighton for the landing clearance. TUI Boeing 787 Dreamliner Reg (G-TUIB) tried twice to land and then diverted to Manchester airport
Eunice brewed in the central Atlantic and was spun up from the Azores towards Europe by the jet stream
A gust of 122mph - measured at an exposed point on the Isle of Wight - set a provisional record for England
In aviation, a go-around is an aborted landing of an aircraft that is on final approach or has already touched down. A go-around can either be initiated by the pilot flying or requested by air traffic control for various reasons, such as an unstabilized approach or an obstruction on the runway

I was on that 380 flight and the pilot did a wonderful skilful job getting us down safely and sounding so calm while updating us
Very nice to hear from you Carolann. It was very very windy 30 minutes before you touched down at London Gatwick. These pilots did a great job. They are so professionals !
was it extremely bumpy? when it bounced twice?
I'm glad you are alive
He is showing lots of skill. I wonder if he needed a change of underwear after landing. God bless him.
I’ve been in a windy Landing in denver years ago. It was the first time I ever felt I’d get sick.
Thats not an A380. The airplane in the video has 2 engines
The a380 pilot made it look like a piece of cake!
The beast is an engineering marvel
Incredible skills of the pilots who could land their planes safely, and congrats to YOU for being out there in this nasty weather and giving us this amazing video! 👏👌
Thank you very much! I've never filmed before in such horrible conditions
I can't imagine how stressed the pilots/air traffic control were. 😬 Tremendous skills 👏
Hats off to the pilots. They are really earning their money
They prolly love the challenge
Scary for the passengers
@@SaucyBernase They do indeed!
I've watched the video several times now, absolutely admiring the pilots skills. Also I imagine the cabin crews had to stay calm and professional for the passengers' sake as everyone eyes were on them and their reactions (poker faces 😶).
If I was a passenger, I would deffo be looking at them, "If our Cabin crew doesn't look worried, neither should I, theoretically 😁"
Part of my brain 🧠 "panicking slightly😬🥴" and the other part "love the roller coaster 🎢 🤸♂️🤸♀️🤸🤪🤣"...... and my stomach "I don't feel good🤢" ! 🤣
I was stress just by watching it . Well done to all the pilots and crew.
Yeah ! It's not easy to watch it . My heart was pumping by filming it
Even though the front wheel was still on line after the gust of wind. The pilot didn’t allow his ego to put their lives in question. Go around. Good job👍🏾
Every single one deserves a medal. So sweet to hear the lark cheering them on!
I'm absolutely agree with you
I love how Dreamliners sort of flap with their wings whenever hit with a strong wind gust. Beautiful machines.
when they don't crash they are great for sure.
@@Klara906090 the 787 hasn't had a single hull loss.
Thanks for videoing and posting this. I was on the TUI flight that is shown at the start of your video so it's very interesting to see what it looked like from the outside. The pilot's 2nd attempt at landing looked from the plane like we'd almost touched down. I was in an aisle seat but could see the runway and it looked a close one. The pilot and staff were brilliant in keeping us informed on each go round, and with providing sick bags and water! I managed to keep my breakfast down but felt very light headed and queasy after that.
So thankful for everything and everyone: especially the TUI staff both on the plane and at Manchester airport and the coach company (Red Rose Travel) who ferried us all back to Gatwick safely. I'm not a great traveller at the best of times!
Wow, I'm happy for you! What was the atmosphere on the plane? I bet many people panicked!
I have a severe flight phobia despite the fact that I fly about 3-4 times a year since 2006. I'm in my country now and I'm due to fly back to London on Monday, but I decided to take the train (which would be 25 hrs instead of the 2 hour flying time) after seeing these footages. I absolutely hate turbulence, can't deal with severe weather any more.
Thank you for commenting here. Its always nice to hear from passengers side. I hope you had a great journey back to London from Manchester. These pilots are very well trained and they did an excellent job. I've been tracking your flight from approach to London until you landed at Manchester. Also on Instagram one user (101new) posted a video of your go-around , filmed next to a runway. Please check the video.
It was very windy on the ground and almost impossible to film at some points.
Don't worry and don't be scary ! Trust me ! The flying is very safe. Pilots are so professional , they will never put your life at risk. This is why they do Go-around. Turbulence is not dangerous at all. Just keep your seat belt fasten all the time.
@KecskemetHun I’m the exact same way! Flying is so traumatic and terrifying for me I will drive for days rather than fly. Except when you have to cross an ocean.. then there’s no choice. 😕
I think I would have died of fright.
Awesome footage! It’s must be scary being a passenger in these flights during the storm. Hats to the pilot, I can’t imagine how intense these landings must have been for them. And kudos to you for capturing these great moments despite the storm. 👏🏽
Impressive footage from this stormy day, that must have been a lot of fun to film. Nice job by the pilots!
Thank you mate ! It was a hard day for filming
These guys are worth every penny and more, amazing skill🛩🛩
Yes they are the best
Was on the first Tui flight shown!! Not an experience I’d like to repeat but credit to the pilot for getting us landed safety, abet in Manchester.
Hi Samantha, we live nest to Gatwick and watched as your flight came in. We could only imagine what that must have been like on board. Hopefully on your way to Manchester they served a few drinks!
It was probably a long journey for you to get back home.
@@topfelya we’d left Mexico 10hrs before! 4hr coach journey back to Gatwick then 2hr car journey home. We had our 8 year old with us who was a superstar.
Thanks for the footage, great to see what it looked like from the ground!
@@82ndmoosey hair raising stuff. We were all due a few stiff drinks once landed including the pilot!! 🤣
Also listen to the skylark singing on the first part of the video..amazing!
Well spotted John. They were siting not far from me and singing all day long
Excellent captures as always. Storm Eunice was intense, those winds were so strong. You've a great view down the centreline and you can see the wings flex. Great job by all of the pilots and crew and ATC in co-ordinating all of the aircraft during this time. Excellent video and always a pleasure to see your work.
Thank you very much mate ! I don't know how it was at Stansted but here at Gatwick most of the time it was impossible to film
@@topfelya mate, it was really hard at Stansted too. Its not an easy airport to film at anyway but no chance of using a ladder yesterday. Holding the camera even remotely steady was difficult and the changes in light and conditions, not just the wind, but driving rain, rainbows, really dark skies and strong sun all in the space of a few hours.. oh, and I was FREEEEEEEZING!!! the things we do for our hobby and interest 😆
@@aviationvideos Exactly the same was at Gatwick
I had rather be down here wishing I was up there rather than being up there and wishing I was down here.
Awesome compilation👍 A380 looks incredible in any condition. Good job on wind reduction 👏
Thanks a lot my friend
Stunning video mate, incredible conditions, such a great weather for spotting, the Baltic takeoff was amazing!!
Thank you mate !
@@topfelya You are welcome!
A good friend of mine was the pilot on the 2nd TUI 787. Was his first as a captain.
Wow ! Very nice to hear that. Please say hello to him from me !
The wing flex on the dreamliner OMD....
Yes ! It is so beautiful
Its very tough filming in these conditions, plus there's always the chance of damaging the camera if the tripod blows over, or driving rain gets into the equipment, yeah its knackering standing out in that strong wind, then security might turn up and make you move. Good job getting this footage 👍🏆
Thank you mate ! I did managed to film only 5% of what happened at Gatwick yesterday. Most of the times is was simply impossible to film. I don't know how other areas were affected but it was crazy at Gatwick.
@@topfelya In the crazy conditions that's when you might film something special, but its tough doing it, atleast you managed to get good footage, I remember filming the first 787 to land at Gatwick, it was stormy weather and just as it came into land, a big raindrop hit the centre of my lens, came away with zero footage 😄
@@Wonkabar007 What a story ! I know your feelings. I had similar situations. I remember that moment when first Dreamliner arrived to Gatwick.
@Wonkabar007
Oh dear, sorry about that, but it's so funny 😁 (ref the lenz).
The A380 wow 😮….. some scary / squeaky bum time for passengers .. 😬😬
She waited in the air not far from airport almost 45 minutes for landing clearance
@@topfelya - was watching the live stream online - saw 4/5 A380 landing - the Qatar a380 landed on 3rd attempt. 😬😬
@@ranbirsingh7666 I did follow that Qatar flight on flightradar24. That Boeing 787 first on the video made 3 attempts , gave up and went to Manchester airport. At some point yesterday at Gatwick for about 40 minutes only Go-arounds. No one was landing
Respect to all these pilots…. Scary stuff . 👍👍👍
Wonderful shots mate, loved the 787 go around! Definitely deserves more views. Massive like from me!
Thank you for watching my friend
Loving the accompanying skylark!
The dreamliner wings flex be like : i was made for this 😎
And a little bird sings throughout!
Amazing. Great skill, decision making, timing, etc. Oh, the video capture was pretty darn good too. Thanks.
Thank you Roderick !
Absolutely fantastic. Great skills from the pilots. Really gutsy stuff! I love it! 👍✈️❤️
Glad you enjoyed it ! These pilots are very skilled
Amazing landing by the pilots in the 380.
They did a great job here !
awesome video. Some of the best I've seen
Appreciate that ! Glad you enjoyed it
Look at 'im crabbin'!! Guwon my san!
Superb footage my friend ✈️✈️👍👀👀
Many thanks ! Ive seen the same landing from your side
Beautiful beautiful toys...
Brilliant footage mate I saw the tui missed approach
Thank you so much for watching !
@@topfelya it'd be nice if you could go to Gatwick more often I quite like missed approaches and things like that so it'd be good if you could catch more haha...
@@jamiesaviation7390 Thank you so much for your feedback Jamie ! I will try to do my best !
@@topfelya your welcome
I came into Gatwick at the height this yesterday bloody nerve wracking i cant believe the pilots got ALL the planes down without one single mistake amazing, my plane cheered like hell when our pilots got us on the ground.
What time did you arrive Harvey ? I'm probably filmed your landing
@@topfelya Ryanair we finally got down I think it was around 5 ish my friend I’d love to see it from your perspective
Man, great video! Thank you 🤗🤗🤗 You are crazy dedicated going out in that weather! How did you manage to keep your camera 🎥 and yourself so still in those winds? 😮
PS. We had horrendous rain 🌧 at 6:45 am (Birmingham), like someone threw tonnes of water on the city in the space of 10-15 min.
Good question! I could barely stand on the ground yesterday not to mention shooting on video. I was standing in the open field. Most of the time it was absolutely impossible to shoot. Sometime very heavy rain with crazy strong non stop winds
@Topfelya
You are crazy, man, and that's why we love ya. 😁
@@Mad.Chemist Thank you !
Amazing, above all the roaring wind and aircraft noise was the song of a skylark!! Great filming too. I live near BHX so take a keen interest in what's going on, thanks for sharing. 👍👍
Thank you Robert ! I was surprised by myself that skylark were keep singing in this weather
Nice video my friend!
Thank you very much for watching mate !
always great to see how much these planes want to keep flying & flexing their wings ;)
Indeed!
Merci beaucoup pour votre vidéo ! Très belles prises de vue et courageux d’affronter ce temps-là pour nous offrir ces superbes prises de vues
Very challenging weather conditions during the Strom Eunice. Excellent footage!!
I'm never seen such strong winds before
Thanks for capturing this wild weather and amazing pilot skills!?👊🏼
Thank you Donald ! Glad you enjoyed it!
Splendid footage mate and Kudos to the pilots. The wind was absolutely insane.
Glad you enjoyed it
And the way some of those wing tips looked like they were going to snap!
This is VERY well done. Nice work. I can imagine it was a long day out in those elements.
Thank you very much for watching !
AMAZING VIDEO .... the winds are really strong, and your location is good , thank for video
Thanks a lot Glad you enjoyed it
Amazing wing flex.
Well spotted !
Great shots!
That's crazy! Great flying!
Sure is!
Amazing video
Thanks for the visit
Can anyone say. WINGFLEX!. Just scary 😨.
They've been design for it. That is normal
It was like the TUI was actually flapping its wings like a bird in that wind 😮
Well said my friend
The most impressive job in the world by far for me.
It is my dream job
@@topfelya mine too:) but i’m studying law instead
@@kubra1907- If I had enough money to get a pilot licence I would do that without hesitation. We need to enjoy our life
@@topfelya where do you live? Maybe there are other options
@@kubra1907- I live not far from Gatwick airport. To get a pilot licence in UK is to expensive
Ну наконец-то! С долгожданными просмотрами)
Great video
Glad you enjoyed it
Terrible situation for the pilot. They had to be very expert for this landing operations 😱👍👍👍👍👍
Those pilots are so professionals . Lots of training ! Skilled guys
Nice thx
Every other airline : try to land even tho conditions are bad.
Ryanair : nah fuck that I won’t even try.
Crosswinds that's beautiful 😍
Thank you for watching
@@topfelya noprob
Honestly, those go arounds would scare me so much.
A friend of mine was on an Easy Jet from MUC that had to be diverted to Manchester after 2 go-arounds. He said there were a lot of passengers using their 'sanitary bags'. He felt the plane was going to crash. He and 4 other passengers had to take a 4-hour cab ride to London and some of his fellow passengers were still throwing up on that journey.
On that day John I've seen lots of go-arounds. I lost the count of them
Fascinating to watch
Thank you so much for your feedback
Nice work!
Thank you! Cheers!
Brilliant captures mate
Thank you !
Awesome video, I was going to go to Gatwick to planespott yesterday, On the way, there was a collapsed tree and I couldn't get to Gatwick yesterday.
Oh no ! I'm specially parked my car in Charlwood away from trees. I hope next time you can make it !
Amazin stuff
Don't forged the singing birds,,they also...🙌🙋
Love the skylarks, obviously they weren't grounded but thought birdstrike would be a risk with them soaring over the airfield but then they are only small so unlikely to cause a problem. Bit sad though that aeroplanes mess up their breeding patterns.
I soon got hooked watching!! Couldnt stop!!.. Awesome!! Great Pilots & Crews.
I did wonder how ships managed too.
Thank you for watching Jane ! Ships usually waiting outside the storm affected area. The captain knows the weather forecast in advance. Sometimes they could wait for 2-3 days in the safe area. My father is the Sea captain
Excellent video, made a video at Bristol yesterday.. caught a few go arounds!
Nice one Bradley ! I will check it out
Lovely!
Really stunning video buddy! Great catch! Liked!
Glad you enjoyed it mate ! Did you go filming yesterday ?
@@topfelya Sadly not…. I got stuck at my parents house 2,5 hours from Schiphol and all trains were canceld so I wasn’t able to go…
@@JelmersAviation Next time mate !
@@topfelya indeed 💪🏻
1:30 this whole shot was 🔥
I landed on a plane in similar conditions in DC. Pretty scary.
Yes ! It is scary
I love like how the a380 was like: Easy Idk Why The storm Eunice Is Such A Problem For my fellow planes?!
Absolutely NO !
Fantastic catch 👍👍
Thank you ! The first plane on the video was trying to land twice
I don’t know a thing about flying planes, but I’m confused as to why the planes would be allowed to take off if the winds were so dangerous? Isn’t that a huge risk the airlines are taking? Am I missing something? Maybe somebody can explain. I’m not being sarcastic or rude, I’m just trying to understand why if there was a bad storm that the flight controllers would let these flights take off?
Top! Great video and great planes! Thank you 🙏🏻
Glad you enjoyed it!
the air traffic control staff did real well to handle this traffic jam.
Yes ! They did a very hard job !
The A380 pilot is thinking, man, am I glad I used to fly Harriers 😅
I like your comment here. Who knows ! Maybe that pilot used to fly Harries
nice additional infos 😅 … much respect to all these pilots 💪👍😎
Thank you Charlie ! I though that would be interesting for people to read
@@topfelya and respect that you went outside to film in that shitty weather lol 🤣👍💪😎😎
@@Charlie_Waffles Thank you Charlie ! I was there from 8am till 5pm. It was a hard day but I did enjoyed
Paycheck: EARNED! 😳
Steady wind is tough but strong gusty winds are a impossible to predict. You can have a gust hit you that lifts you 100' above the runway or be riding a gust at 75' above the runway when it stops, you lose all that lift and slam into the runway, maybe you bounce and skid off the runway, maybe the gear collapses, etc.. What a nightmare.
You are absolutely right Mickey ! Windshear is the nightmare for pilots.Windshear is a drastic, sudden change in wind direction or speed over a relatively short distance in the atmosphere. A windshear encounter would cause an accident in the worst case scenario. When windshear is predicted or when the aircraft has encountered windshear, the system alerts the pilot and warns of danger.
Fantastic footage mate, but what amazes me the most..... Is how flat that runway is !!!!
Also the water doesn't stay for long on that runway. It dries out so quickly . Usually we don't see much sprays here from an aircraft engines as in Manchester.
And a small river is running under this runway not that big as in Manchester.
You know it's bad when even Ryanair pilots decide it's too dicey
Great work catching these. We live side on to the runway virtually and watching that TUI at the beginning (think it was TOM 015 - a 787?) on finals it looked like it was just hanging there. We could see the roll as it came in and then after it passed out of sight heard the engines power up for a pretty late go-around. As others have said, kudos to the pilots and the aircraft design and technology. Thanks for posting.
Thank you for watching ! Also on Instagram one user (101new) posted a video of this TUI , view from the side. If you are interested please check it out.
Wow 😯…excellent footage
Thank you kindly
This video is fantastic 👏 👌
Thank you for your warm comment.
wow! this was a heavy storm - the A380 looks so cool 👍
Best and comfortable passenger aircraft ever built. Thank you for watching !
Needs to get the flight deck upwind !! If the pilot is on the centre line (or the Localiser antenna😂) … the rest of the shop is possibly too far downwind …
Aviação ,maravilha, saudações aeronáuticas tudo bem com vocês ?
2:10 spot on
hovering illusions on appoach
Great footage - thanks.
Thank you for watching Colin !
Who says some airlines don't include butter in their flights?
I would be in pieces if I'd to go through a go around. Not the best flyer, but that would have me in bits.
I did once experienced a go-around. Not a great feelings !
Same!!
Yes A380!
Great video 👍 the number of birds chirping there seems a little worrying though ?
Yeah ! Lots of birds there . This airport in the middle of country side. Airport workers scare them all the time with special automatic canons . Also there is a scarecrow standing in the middle of the landing path
BENDICIONES MY FRIENDS 🙏
That runway looks soooo short!!!
