Close Call! A320 Caught in Crosswinds

good decision......

Clean knickers needed at seat 40B!!!!

Are not easy. And they are trained for just this occurrence, lucky we don't have to worry about having the lives of the passengers in our hands. He made a good decision to get back up.

thats was close.. the pilot sure earned is incomming there!!

Cool pilot save their life
almost crash

i hope and i wish,this not will be happen to me......

Instead of trying to land a plane, pilot should have performed a go-around as soon as wind blown him off the middle of the runway for the first time. Trying to land a plane after this is very risky, even reckless. Go-around is a standard procedure in such weather conditions and there's nothing wrong with it. Pilot eventually performed it, but after all this risk...

great work!

imagine being on board the airplane

Good Flying, as opposed to trying to land that one. Heavy crosswinds, almost ow. Great job saving that landing for later.

vid of crosswinds taking on A-320

good thing the pilot had acted wisely... saved the passengers lives

thats why i dont fly

It landed safe by second attempt.

the pilot's mistake..whoever was doing the landin should hve flared the aircraft first then apply the rudders...on top of tht the pilot pulled to much on the stick tht caused the wind to hit the ground.

in the war, they used to land planes upside down, with no wings and they run out fuel 500 miles before the airport.

my dad, who is a pilot, has been through some tuff crap. where he flies, which is basically everywhere, some winds are unbelievably strong.

Awesome Video!
I hope mine are that good.

the passengers must have been freaked out

"Trousers to manual"

Standing somewhere else with my video camera, or just running away.

Hats off to the pilots.

At this moment of approch it is very difficult to pull up again ... raise flaps, throtle etc... he had to wait for the right moment .. when the plane is on a straight position, because doing this on a 3/4 position in crosswinds at this height means crash. Good job ! 5 stars to the pilot and 5 for posting. Thanks

:)

flying into minneapolis/st paul during a thunderstorm. the side of the plane i was on you could actually see down the runway we were suppossed to be landing on. i fly a lot so i wasn't scared right away, but then i saw an old flight attendant who looked like she just pissed herself, that got me a little anxious. we bounced a few times on landing but everything ended ok.

get 'caught' in a cross wind. You know they are there. You simply need to prepare your approach properly.

glad i wasnt on that plane ! dont think id ever fly again,

Thanks to God that had shown the pilot the right way to move and had saved everyones life..
Great work my dear Pilot
