Storm Corrie: BA plane aborts landing at Heathrow due to high winds

The pilot of a British Airways plane had to abort their first landing attempt as strong winds from Storm Corrie pushed across Heathrow airport. Flight BA1307 from Aberdeen (ABZ) landed safely on the second attempt.

Shows how well built these planes are how well trained pilots are. Absolute brilliant!

I hope it was landed safely ...
Crosswind landing is most difficult .
Plane spotter who taken this video did the great job .

That's absolutely terrifying 😳 goes to show the raw skill and lightning reaction of the pilots doesn't it.

The skill to capture these shots in crosswinds is amazing, just shows the training these plane spotters go through

[almurray]

Those cries of “easy, easy, easy!” Really helped

Had a rough landing similar to that years ago. When we finally got down, the entire cabin burst out in cheers and applause for the pilot.

0:28 I share that guy's absolute panic for a moment there. Plane reacted like it heard him as well "Thanks fam.. I'll go try again"

for anyone wondering, its big jet tv on youtube who is live at Heathrow a few days a week filming.

I was actually on that flight, it looks 10x worse on the video than it was in real life. The only killer was the never ending turbulence. The pilot made a perfect landing on 2nd attempt.

Pilots are trained for this situation, this is touch and go in true sense.

Hats up to the heartly wishes to the entire cabin crew

The tail strike is one thing, but I'm still left gaping at the almost wheelie landing tilted over the left wheel. YIKES !

I just got off of a BA flight that landed tonight at 21:52pm. We had a situation very similar to this where the pilot had to descend again twice and finally on the third attempt we made a very bumpy landing..

These pilots are nothing short of genius and it was incredible that we made it on the ground.

Bravo 🙏🏻

Happens to every pilot. They still did a better job than I could've done 😆

People were saved because of the pilot's bravery. And people had to live with their families because... you know it.

I'm still holding up the score card of 10/10, great landing but unfortunatly mother nature thought try this gust of cross wind on for size Mr BA pilot, nearly a tail strike!!! grand job though nearly winging it!

[bbbernier]

The pilot did a great job. Perhaps the passengers should say thank you

[documax]

Spectacular capture by a planespotter.

He literally was within an inch of a tailstrike on the go around.
Also reactive windshear detection of the WXR should have warned him that this was going to happen

Well done to Jerry Dyer from Big Jet TV for catching this! 😉😁
