Pilots can be crazy mofos
Those are what is called extreme cross wind landings. Very good.
By ruffnredy 1172591492 Reply Spam [+27] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveCorrect me if I'm wrong, but wasn't the (i think) 737 at the beginning doing some dutch-roll testing? (OBV. YD disconnect.)
By bcubed72 1178850460 Reply Spam [+1] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveGood pilots showing they can handle the cross wind and land safely.

By hoang thuy linh sex 1193323859 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveAlthough it looks wild, this is actually quite safe. The technique is called "slipping", and it's taught in basic flight school. It is a safe way of making an approach in a strong crosswind. You "crab" into the wind, keeping the flight path on the runway centereline, while the nose of the aircraft is pointing into the wind, more or less. At the last second before touchdown, you apply rudder to bring the nose onto the centerline.

By airplaneman37 1177648152 Reply Spam [+1] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveI got those when I was stationed in Korea. But seriously can you image what the people on the flight are thinking. Like aren't we supposed to be parallel with the run way
By wambs8 1179109934 Reply Spam [+1] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveWe will be shortly arriving on runway 24, 25 and 26. Although we would normally switch off the smoking sign, if you got 'em, smoke 'em. And if anyone is currently in the lavatory, my advice for the next 30 seconds is "stay there". Thank you for flying Buddy Holly airlines and I expect to see you all real soon. In hell ....

By BlowUrMind 1177039358 Reply Spam [+1] Moderate Up Moderate Down Remove90% of this video shows very good pilot judgement. They are coming in, the wind doesn't blow their way and they "go around". You should never try and force a landing when you can go around. The 747 idiot pilot near the end, makes a lot of mistakes at the old Hong Kong airport and actually damageds his plane. The fighter jet after that looks bad too. All the bad ones are right near the end there.
The brownish looking ones are actually Boeing testing extreme crosswinds on (I think) the 777. The plane says Boeing.
I had to make decisions and like that in my job.
By airplaneman37 1177648246 Reply Spam [+2] Moderate Up Moderate Down Remove..of landings, really shows the skill of the pilots!
By goodlookingsod 1172595366 Reply Spam [+5] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveKicks butt.
By Crazyelmo1 1177085482 Reply Spam [+2] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveYeah but what type of slip are they using for cross wind landing, a side slip or foward slip? And if all these pilots are so skilled at slipping an aircraft how come most of them are going around?

By bizzle1550 1179502677 Reply Spam [+1] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveWell put together! 5 stars! I can't understand the words, but I like the music! keep 'em coming.
By ganzook 1179382070 Reply Spam [+1] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removeand its our stomaches they F**k being inside their
man i hate it when they do that S**t
This is not all due to high winds, but in order for a pilot to decrease altitude and speed fast the pilot "slips" the plane sideways to counteract the conditions
By sneakygreeky9 1178575117 Reply Spam [+1] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveWhat's the title of this song?
By matjako_Slovenia 1178300321 Reply Spam [+1] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveHeheh ^^
By heavyboy 1178299475 Reply Spam [+1] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveI realy liked it. I love to fly, but for now, I am to young to fly with real planes, so I fly in Flight Simulator. I want more videos like this one. Have a nice day...
By matjako_Slovenia 1178279864 Reply Spam [+1] Moderate Up Moderate Down Remove2 winds
If people were to fly like that on purpose, they would not have there flying license in the first place.
What is it people have with us pilots?
simple crabbing maneuver. MOst airport are designed to "flow" with the air currents found in the are which is why runways arent always aligned with whatever they are around. Those are so nasty crosswinds though wouldnt want to be those pilots
By Drungod09 1177580814 Reply Spam [+1] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removeoye amigo el video esta divertido.
By marcombo 1177292137 Reply Spam [+1] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removeit is common that planes fly not line stright but in an angle when going on high air flow and people don´t realize it..
By BlowUrMind 1177039663 Reply Spam [+1] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveWe call it 'tracking' into the wind. If wind is coming at you from the side it will blow you off the straight course you're on. The plane needs to poit into the wind to compensate. And yes, the song rocks!
By seanpcurto 1177829903 Reply Spam [+1] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removenice video but wtf's up with that song bet osama signs it when hes taking a S**t ! lol
By surfer21 1176238724 Reply Spam [+1] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveIf I ever had to listen to the song again..... I think I'd rather have my fingernails burned off. Slowly. It was torture.
By stoogeriffic 1176766422 Reply Spam [+2] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveGreat show but now I am scared of flying again
By Bonggorospe 1173095503 Reply Spam [+1] Moderate Up Moderate Down Remove1. There's a reason those guys are airline pilots - they kick some serious avionic ass.
2. Landing gear stands up to some crazy hits!
of those airplanes. willington (new zealand that is) airport is lots of fun to land in. but the video was takin in a calm day in willington. KIWI pilots rule :)

Do somebody know what´s the song?
By Kalyi CZ 1172599554 Reply Spam [+1] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveIt's in french, the song is called Lambe An Dro and it's from a rock band named Matmatah.
By chummy95 1172708029 Reply Spam [+1] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removenice pilots, landing an airplane with lateral wind its not easy. great
By FJMC 1172584099 Reply Spam [+1] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveAwesome! That 747 got my heart going. Used to watch them in Seattle. MONSTERS.

I don't think these are stunts, maybe it's a way to brake faster.
By Yur_Art 1172667837 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removereduce your airspeed and altitude at the same time as it basically uses the fuselage of the aircraft as a giant airbrake... Good for when you are high on approach. I mean high as in altitude, not from drugs. :)

By firstblood 1173245411 Reply Spam [-1] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveA friend of mine who is a pilot says that he doesn't get paid to fly planes per se---he's paid for those moments when 200 people's lives depend on his years of experience.
By elquemataranas 1175892321 Reply Spam [+2] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveI didn´t realized until now. thank´s
By BlowUrMind 1177039548 Reply Spam [-2] Moderate Up Moderate Down Remove. . . and I think it takes a person with pilot training to recognize the expertise necessary to do the things shown in this video.
Also, I found the soundtrack song pretty entertaining, and I would like to know who performs it and what it's called. I'm pretty sure it's sung in French. Interesting that it has that fiddle stuff in it, making it sound Irish. I like it. It's better than the crap that a lot of new American bands are making.
the band is Mathmatah and the song is "lambé an dro"
By perceval 1176883641 Reply Spam [-2] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removemy dad is in the airforce and we live near alotta pilots, they say landing is more of a controlled crash...and i dont blame 'em ive landed a plane once....ITS SOO STRESSFULL!!!
By mimiro2000 1176187550 Reply Spam [-2] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveThis is really a great music what is it ? how can I find it as mp3 or whatever ? :)
By detailp 1173685851 Reply Spam [-2] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveWith very high x-winds that heroes bring it down!!
Respect.
Is everyone a pilot on Metacafe when we see these?
Stop, posting about how bad or good a landing is..
Its sad.
when a plane that huge as 747 starts the final approach it is almost impossible to make any other moves instead of landing :) great aircraft control from great talented pilots at cross winds
By RODHA 1172672985 Reply Spam [-2] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveI used to practice doing exactly this on purpose when taking my PPL. It's not as difficult as it looks. Think I was 15 when I first did it. Used to do it just for fun. It's especially good fun in gliders. Slipstreaming.
By shearers a legend 1172666665 Reply Spam [-2] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveAlot of those were from a certain strip (can't remember the name of it) where they routinely do crosswind landing tests, due to the prevalent and strong crosswinds there...
And yes, the Kai Tak footage is always hair-raising...good thing they shut that one down...
Clearly a few of these guys were dealing with strong cross winds and over compensated until the last possible moment, earning serious Brass ones but the other crazy MF ers weren't quite up to par on the training, or maybe passed out after one too many layover cocktails at the Captains Quarters! Cool video though!
