SCARY CROSSWIND LANDINGS during a STORM at Düsseldorf on an ICY runway - SNOW DRIFT

I have filmed lots of Crosswind landings during all kind of weather conditions, but this one was something new. There was still some snow on the runway while the Boeing 777 of Turkhish and Emirates landed. This maded it even more impressive to watch the skilled pilots land during these weather conditions.

In situations where a crosswind is present, the aircraft will drift laterally as it approaches the runway. This drift poses significant safety issues because safe operation of the undercarriage requires the body and track of the aircraft to be aligned with the runway at touch down.

Thank you for watching, new videoes every tuesday and friday.

There is something so beautiful, so graceful about a well executed crosswind landing. And the ice is just icing on the cake. Excellent video!

There's nothing more graceful than an airliner touching down. I could watch this forever.

Some bad-ass pilotage!! You gotta do your homework and pack a lunch to fly like these guys! Think about it: You've got to drop it in, maintain cross control, keep the wings level, keep your airspeed right, crab for the crosswind and then touch it down on a icy runway while bringing the nose back to center line....then keep it straight as you apply reverse thrust!! Damn! And oh yeah...you are responsible for all the lives on board the aircraft as an added bonus! They truly are professionals in every sense!! Salute!

I always see this cross wind videos, and I get amazed each time I saw it. The pilots are like mini-heros, that make awesome thing each days but nobody see it.

Up until the final approach these pilots earned their day's pay. Then came the landing, where they earned their whole year's salary! Think about it. A hundred souls brought safely to destination. A hundred million dollar hull to the gate without a dent. An airlines reputation still intact, its name not in the headlines for the wrong reasons. Its employees still with a job to go to tomorrow. OK, I'll stop now. Great video.

The pilot at 1:57 deserves a medal. Hell they all do.

I don't know what the average salary of a commercial pilot is, but after watching this video, it is not enough!  These men/women are masters of their craft!

Every landing was so scary! Great pilots on board!

[Marblez]

Nothing but admiration for these extremely talented people.

[vyranamitra]

This is the BEST crosswind compilation on youtube. Great job Cargospotter!!!

[PlaneSpottingPerth]

Its scary seeing planes like Q400s and ATRs landing crosswind!!

Are you using an image stabilizer? Despite the wind, the image is amazingly stable!

Wow, literally thousands of people arriving safely due to some very skilled pilots. Very nice.

Every pilot are trained for any cross winds . 

[izzykingston]

this angle makes the planes look so beautiful when they touch down, amazing

[YTLyricsMaker]

from this angle it looks as if the planes were landing vertically, which is pretty cool.
I was never aware of crosswind landings (to my own surprise being a fairly frequent flier), and watching the planes land like that is pretty amazing; and some people think that pilots nowadays don't do much when flying, lol.

[DinoNucci]

This is really comforting to watch. The little bumps we feel in the cabin on most flights are probably the civilian equivalent of walking on carpet for these pilots 

[styxcreek]

Amazing piloting skills and excellent video. Thanks!

Fantastic landings! Props to skilled pilots that landed these beasts

I liked that 737 coming in at about 3:40 that landed on the far left of the screen/runway.  That was pretty good.  And all the take offs were great.
