Excellent video! I appreciate the way you described the situation, This was pretty bad, moderate + and very windy. I see many videos on youtube with turbulence that is probably not even half of what I see here, and the title would say "extreme severe turbulence" etc! LOL! Good job!
Great video - normally the pilot does not throttle up manually - the engine is controlled by the speed management system of the autopilot. The flight by wire system of the Airbus ensures that the plane remains in the flight envelope, meaning it ensures that it does not stall, by controlling angle of attack and speed for the requested descent rate.
I live in Vegas,and we do have high winds here from time to time.I remember we was flying back from Seattle,and as we were approaching the airport to land,the plane suddenly jerked up to the west because of highwinds,me and a lot of people was scared and shocked.So we went up in the air and it turned to the south as we did a circle like this plane then it turned east around the airport .We then landed safely at the same runway the plane,it was scary.
The flight ended up diverting to Oakland. Which was somewhat odd since Ontario was closer and the airline has operations at that field as well. But I guess the airline made the call to go to Oakland to avoid the storm system as a whole.
@@aviationapproach The "diversion" airport is usually pre-planned before the flight even takes off. They look at all the weather, etc., and even add the necessary fuel to make it to their divert airport.
@@NsixVHFyou are absolutely correct. The pilots knew about the terrible weather ahead of time and Volaris has slots / operations at the Oakland airport.
Landing in LAS, even in the best of conditions, can be adventurous. Thanks for posting!
Dude yes I agree ! I always meet some turbulence on landing in vegas!
An excellent video and so very well captured. Thanks for posting.
Great video!

Can hear auto pilot disconnect on the go @6:10

What made those pilots think they could land safely?

Bumpiest takeoffs and landings I've ever experienced were in Vegas, Reno, and Phoenix. Salt Lake City and Denver can be hairy sometimes too.
No disrespect but where are they going to divert to,palm springs is straight as an arrow
