STORM Friederike!! TURBOPROP CROSSWIND Landings during a storm at Düsseldorf (4K)

The Turboprop pilots had to fight with wind gusts up to 70 knots and some of these airplanes were thrown around like light feathers in the wind. I am pretty sure the passengars of these flights will probably remember these flights for a long time. I decided to edit another video of yesterdays crosswind situation to focus on the small Dash-8 turboprob plane which definitly had some issues with the wind speeds. Some of them had to approach three times until they finally manged to land. It` s incredible to see how skilled some of these pilots are and this video definitly proves why pilots are definitly not overpaid. Great job!

The Bombardier Dash 8 or Q-Series, previously known as the de Havilland Canada Dash 8 or DHC-8, is a series of twin-engine, medium-range, turboprop airliners. Introduced by de Havilland Canada (DHC) in 1984, they are now produced by Bombardier Aerospace. Over 1,000 Dash 8s of all models have been built

As a Q400 pilot, I can tell you that when you see the wings flex, they were rocked HARD.

[howardrickert]

You know it’s rocking when a Dash 8s wings flex.

By God the skill of pilots is off the charts.

This is what my first solo landing felt like even though it was clear skies and no wind.

Not a problem for Widerøe pilots. Just another day at work.

Widerøe - Best Dash 8 pilots in the world.

These are the real pilots the ones that can land a plane in than conditions. Nice catches :)

[peterwilliamson]

Clearly this pilot's skill level is well beyond the norm fearless.

The pilot managed to get her down right on the centerline on that last landing! Good job. Getting these down at all is outstanding though!

[rakasome]

There's a reason the Dash 8 is so popular. Horizon Air (QX) uses them here in Montana for iffy conditions. This video is spectacular.

[JohnJohansen]

Excellent video.
Had to watch it again.
Those pilots are so skilled.
Especially the first landing was impressive.

I hope there's a lot of sick bags on those planes.

[damieg]

First pilot was a G... he's like, come hell or high winds, I'm landing this muthatrucker

[irrelevant]

0:53 that airbus was like "yo nice job mate"

[AEROPLANE]

*WOW!!! Excellent catch turboprop crosswind!!!*

[janetyeoman]

Great planes, built just 50 km south of my place. I see the green tail new ones being test flown near here. 🇨🇦

[josueparis]

Insane !!! You were in the perfect place to film these landings at the moment of the storm. Amazing and congratulations. Greetings from Mexico City.

[ryanmoeller]

If I was on those flights.. I'd close my eyes and hope for the best.. Haha. Keep up the great work! 👍👍

[AndreiTupolev]

I expect the passengers will be getting the train next time ...

[mylosairplanefan]

Those were really wobbly approaches! Nice catches:)

When I was learning to fly and hadn't yet done crosswind landings (or takeoffs) I was inadvertently allowed up on a day with a fairly strong crosswind as the CFI wasn't in the office. The takeoff was a bit weird as I began to drift across the runway but once airborne it was ok. The problems began when I tried to land, I had only read about the two main techniques, wing down and crabbing, but had never had instruction. I had to overshoot on the first five landings and as fuel was low (club planes are often deliberately low on fuel to save weight and avoid stress on the gear) I now really needed to get down. I was afraid to declare my predicament as the CFI was inclined to shout. I was crabbing towards the runway but every time I was about to flare the crosswind drifted me off the runway towards rough ground. On the sixth attempt, and pouring sweat I knew I had to get down somehow and this time I instinctively used the rudder to align with the grass runway just as I touched down and it worked. Convinced that everybody had been watching my clumsy attempts I was expecting some comments or jokes, but nobody was watching, nobody had seen anything! The next time out I requested crosswind training.

Landed like that once. They still can’t get the seat clean. 😳
