Turbulent, max crosswind landing

Turbulent, crosswind, Q400 landing

Not the easiest day at work, but these are the ones that stay in memory 😉👍

It doesn't matter if you're a 1-hour student, or 30-year pilot.. you gotta admit that was impressive.

When performed properly, crosswind landings are a thing of beauty, and this was indeed, absolutely beautiful!

[joetwist]

Is it just me, or does being able to see this perspective make you feel slightly safer? One thing that freaks me out during landing as a passenger, particularly when it’s turbulent, is that you can only see to one side of the plane at a time. Being able to see in front for some reason makes it so much more clear what’s going on, not to detract from this difficult landing of course.

The pilot's hands on the yoke were moving fast as a boxer's combinations on a speedbag.

Can't argue at all with this guy's ability. He even put it down on the upwind gear first. Nice job!

[squadman]

This is where pilots really earn their money. Nice job.

As a pilot, that was an impressively clean landing given the crosswind component.

[EirikV]

Yikes! He really had to work for that one. Great landing

[Alex]

As a qualified refrigerator technician, i can confidently say that was a textbook landing.

[calebmcbrier]

Been there many times. Nice work! Very rewarding to get a nice landing in these conditions.

That's incredible! Would you be okay with me featuring this in my series Weekly Dose of Aviation? Of course you will be credited both in the video and in the description.

Love the dramatic, loud, and scary sound of the reversers at 0:58. Reminds me of the intensity of a carwash when I was little

[lbowsk]

34 years of flying. That guy knows what he's doing. Very nice work.

[paperclip]

Damn that was intense. Suddenly that scene from airplane movie where the guy's head just become a fountain of sweat is totally relatable 😂

[gerrycorbino]

That was an incredibly smooth landing considering the turbulence and crosswind.

[rangirehua]

Awesome landing! What airport/airfield was that?

[leonardopaternina]

As a pilot, I find very funny those comments that start with "as a pilot..." LOL

[ao]

Well done! You know the copilot is an OG with some skills if he’s rockin’ the ballcap

[FreezeGopher]

Nice job, it’s great that you held the correction after touchdown.
