If you can't see anything, imagine how pilot landed this airplane at nearly zero visibilty due to heavy rain and thunderstorm. McDonnell-Douglas-MD-83 landing in extreme situation. Amazing Pilot i must say.
Sorry, but any competent instrument rated pilot, even a private pilot, should be able to make that landing.

By Check-it-out 1204005167 Reply Spam [-1] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removeyou need balls to do that
well done pilot
That was a good landing..........
By mj007nyc 1204074046 Reply Spam [+1] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveNice landing!
By igor-er 1204051021 Reply Spam [+1] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removethat is taxi cab with wings..
more dangerous to drive a car in 0 visibility than airplane
airplane has a radar
they are equipped with GPS, nav computers, compasses, altimeters, and radios to talk to the tower who can see the same data from their end and correct them if needed.

By jason mcb 1204001802 Reply Spam [+1] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveTry landing a jet on a heaving carrier deck at night in the middle of the ocean after you have come back from a combat mission. Now that takes skill.

By rikidou 1204384793 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveThe rain made it bad. the trick is distance awareness, but the video camera made it seem worse. I'm sure that they were able to see the clouds and maybe a few buildings on the left there. IFR is so much different than VFR, but at least it wasn't durring the night!
By Jrwalz 1204178487 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removei can see the pilot has the wipers off!

By LIETUVA2 1204210238 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveIt's called Air Traffic Control VOR ILS :) Do some research...
By Fizznfire12 1204079010 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveATC XPDR, VOR, ILS are three different things. Anyhow these are situation that you can find easily and pilots know how to manage. Just heavy rain looks like there isn't strong wind or wind guts.
By LIETUVA2 1204210165 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removebecoz they hav meter's to measure height and other things........

By JohanssoN85 1204040135 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveI have been in planes in perfectly good, but windy conditions that have landed worse than this one. Kudos to the pilot who landed this one safely.

By Pita1 1203979220 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveWe need to give most pilots credit foor statying cool. I do wonder what their heart rate was during this verses a noemal landing where you can see.
By JJCBigfoot 1203978294 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveWow! He must've had to depend solely on his flight instruments for most of that approach. Nerves of steele on that guy.
By hEr0 1203972983 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removei flew a cesna a few times in good weather. this is an unbelievable video to watch!!! imagine the pressure of all those lives plus your own while multitasking then add the fact you cant see. more vids/pilots like this please!

By boby the joster 1204076876 Reply Spam [-1] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveI wouldn't want to drive in that weather. Even if pilot is trained to be able to do that, it is still hard to believe that they landed. 5 stars and my hat off to you.
By iambubba 1204053068 Reply Spam [-1] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removeno i cant see anythin but my uncle is a pilot and he landed in heavy rain
By kosomakar3a 1204035525 Reply Spam [-1] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removea little low though.....
low visibilty isn't much of a problem for takin off or landing....the planes can fly themselves
the main problem with low visibility happens with ground movements, makes it difficult for the pilots and the ower to see where the other aircraft are which could result in a collision on the ground
one of the biggest air accidents in history hapened in a collosion between two aircraft on the ground
Know! thanx
this plane cannot land itself, and even if it could the pilots wouldn't allow it to because the ultimate responsibility of the safety of everyone on that flight falls on the PIC.
