Complete landing in severe turbulence and wind at London Gatwick on British Airways 

“I think excellent pilots... before touchdown” meanwhile landing literally was a touchdown with the left, bounce, touchdown with right, touchdown with left... mhmmm

Ever noticed that despite the ‘scary title’ it’s awlays ok? I’ve been a flight attendant for 20 years....can you just imagine the turbulence stories I could tell you? The point I’d rather make is that I’m still here....so please let’s not be scared of turbulence, it’s a part of flying, it’s normal, it’s been engineered for way beyond what us common folk can imagine!!!

the last 15 minutes were indeed severe! perfect landing! good pilots!

Minor turbulence makes the passengers upset. Moderate turbulence makes the flight attendants upset. Severe turbulence makes the pilots upset. This video only makes the passengers upset.

Hard landing! When they ask to give the captain a round of applause you know that was a tough one.

Whoa !! That last tilt was intense !!

No matter how often I travel by plane, fear is something I will never overcome. I've had great and smooth flights, and I've had not so minor events that even scared the pilots. Last year in Mexico city, there was a major storm while the plane was attempting to land and one of the pilots was trying to give us some information when the plane was suddenly hit by wind and he cut the message, then the lightning system started failing and I saw the crew running to get their seats and belts fastened. I usually calm myself watching them because they're the experts 🤣 if they're not worried, I try not to worry either... But they seemed scared and therefore I've never been so terrified in my life. that day we had 2 attempts before the successful one and it was awful. It was not easy to stop the plane with all the water and wind, the airport had closed while we were flying, and other flights got cancelled but we were already flying and we had nowhere else to go that had better conditions.

I had a landing like this once on an Air France flight into CDG on an Airbus 319. It’s always unnerving when you see that wing dip right before touchdown. The hardest landing I ever had was into LGA on a Delta 757-300. The pilot set that one down very hard.

Some of the roughest landings I’ve had were in London. I live in LA and so it’s always smooth here and other places it’s hit or miss, but London is always cloudy and has never been a smooth take off or landing for me.

dam that landing would've freaked me out big time. no way man.

A good captain has to keep his head 👏

Tea and crumpets flying all over the place for sure!

I wonder how close that right wing came from hitting the runway.

Here is the thing. A camera can never pick up how bad turbulence really is. You can't tell on camera that much. I know. I was on a bumpy ride that was so bumpy some of the oxygen mask fell out of the ceiling and I had video of it and it was so scary. we were thrown around like rag dolls BUT on the camera it looked like a peaceful, none bumpy ride.

Hail the flight crew. Think I held my breath for the last 3 minutes of your flight. I do love turbulence, but not so close to the ground.

Turbulence is increasing. They have got to stop the accursed chem trails or at least provide the public with a decent rationale for them. Well done, terrific BA captains and crews!

Not too bad at all. Well done to the Captain and first officer.

I only start to get sweaty palms when the pilot makes ANY kind of announcement😱

Ryanair who see this video Ryanair: ಠ⁠︵⁠ಠ ಠ⁠︵⁠ಠ finally someone who understands me

Before touchdown I was certain the throttles were gonna open seemed like a go around to me but those guys no what there doing and deserve that applause for getting down first go

This was hypnotic.

When the left wing went close and the gasp, that scared me the most

I had a similar experience today on my flight from Palma to Dublin the first attempt we missed the runway and had to go around the second attempt the plane landed on its right wheels and then hard on the the front gear everone was terrified and the children were screaming in the end we taxid to the gate safely.

That woman in the background is so extra lol

Re that last comment, thanks for some measured sanity ! Unfortunately RU-vid lives on emotive titles....no one would watch if it was entitled “ skilled crew land beautifully engineered aeroplane , in crap weather “. .....😎

Severe turbulence? You should have been on our flight back to the world from Vietnam. We had just finished a meal about half an hour before landing in Tokyo. All if a sudden we fell out if the sky. Trays, people and all not secured hit the ceiling. That happened two or three times. That bird made it to SEATAC with no problems. I was the first off the plane and when I bottomed the stairs, I went to the ground and kissed it.

That was a hard touchdown!

great vid my friend! oh man i wouldve been screaming when plane lunged left then right wow glad made it safe

That was an impressive dip of the left wing just before the right and then left landing gear slammed down. Qualifies as turbulent and I just know my wife would have fucking hated the flight. Haha

I’m a white knuckler, and that’s not really that bad Hold ur breath when u go through the clouds then release

You think this is bad? I flew from Lanzarote to Exeter in Feb 2022, and we landed during Storm Franklin!!! It was truly terrifying, the worst ever. We all applauded when the plane touched down.

This is a bit of a bumpy flight! In all my years of flying around the world, I have yet to see “severe” turbulence!

“Ladies and gentlemen, this is your wake-up call. The local time in London is 14:30.”

They were up against it big time weather wise . Bit of a bumpy landing . But credit the pilots for their expertise in safely landing the plane .

I need to fly 2-3 times a week as part of my job, been through worse.

It wasn't bad at all. I have been to many very bad turbulence, specially going in and out of Japan, all the way to the Philippines. When I was pregnant, my flight to Japan was very bad, we dropped 1000 feet, it was very scary, every shouted.

I was on an Air Canada flight into Winnipeg many years ago and I've never seen turbulence like that since. Disneyland should have a ride like it.

Enjoying the green English countryside.

Wow yeah it bounced from wheel to wheel

Nice vide. No severe, occasional moderate. Check the descriptions of turbulence with the EASA or the FAA; "large and abrupt attitude changes", and "airplane momentarily out of control". The airplane's attitude was steady, with minor attitude variations. The trailing edge flaps seemed to fluctuate- they don't do that so I'm guessing it was due to window distortion of the image. Cheers

BOSS MODE PILOT

Very good pilots 👏👏👏

Seems like the right wing was pretty close at the end from the runway, he had good reflex but it could have easily deserved a go around to be safe. He did a good hard touchdown at the end to make sure to avoid rebound so that’s the right thing to do when wind is against you.

those thick low hanging british clouds

Christ I bet you were glad to get down!!

I feel better with my feet on the ground and if I die from a air plane it's going to have to land on my head 😂😂😂😂😂

Turbulence is scary, but it will NOT cause the plane to crash.

Pretty much normal landing in Calgary when the wind is blowing off the mountains

The pilot is in control all the time not the wind.👍

I'm leavin' on a jet plane... don't know when I'll be back again... oh babe I hate to go....

Could see the crabbing effect from the wings attack angle right until touch down ...nice

It's a pity that praise for pilot had to be prompted. I'd have applauded spontaneously!

Air mail special!!! A cloudy day, in London town... but through cloudy London sky the sun was shining... everywhere... Ma chi stava pedalando?

This was like my flight into Vancouver today.

Pretty good ground turbulence there.

You had a bumpy ride for sure. Thank you for sharing.

Up, Down, Up, Down, Up, Down......Ohh!.. Bump!.........Up, Down, Up, Down...

Excelente video desde Chile abrazo me encanta los aviones yo de tener miedo a las turbulencias no antes poco ahora no tranquilo cuando viajo a pta Arenas y Santiago 🇨🇱🇨🇱🤘🤣

ho avuto la stessa esperienza! caspita

Bird @ 10:26 is experiencing her best landing in years.

too hard crosswing landing. brave pilot.

The pilot was in control..

Nice video! But i would say this is more light turbulence. The shaking would be so bad you would not be able to hold your phone and get a clear video at all.

Well done capt

Wow never seen a landing like that from a first persons view

This is why I try not to look out at the precise time the plane is landing. Still damn scary regardless.

in severe turbulences you are not able to hold your camera, the pilots are not able to read their instruments. this is why one avoids severe turbulences. in the video are light turbulences shown.

I would call that a close call to be honest. That was a horrible touch down.

nice job landing.

God bless all pilots

phew what a close call - that wing almost fell off. Uggh back seat drama...

Wait..isnt this pretty common when landing at Gatwick?..I believe every time I've landed at Gatwick it peared with some bumps and shakes.... it's such a momentary thing..I dont think I've ever heard anyone in the plane react to it in this manor....

Since almost the entire video was shot from the view of just the wing it was hard to really see the severe turbulence. The only exception was the slam the pilot took upon touchdown. Yikes, the poor landing gear.

I prefer to take passengers ships to travel everywhere.Please prepare passengers ships for optional shoo send as many as aircraft

Okay try a nigh time approach and trap to a USN aircraft carrier with deck pitching +/- 12 feet.

This is not severe(so technically click bait ) but good video

incredible

come fly with me... let's fly let's fly away!!!.... we'll land at Gatwick and not... in Acapulco bay!

You would not have been able to video if it was severe. Solid moderate for sure.

landing in crosswinds is a problem on some days in the uk because of strong west sw winds. everyone wants to land on time and a go around means about 45 minutes delay so one tries to avoid a goaround. plus fuelexpenditure, of course so thats about 0.75 x 2950 litres per engine e.g for a 737. nasty crosswinds are a challenge no one likes.

why i'm watching this😭😢

scary windshear touch down

Why are these videos always sped up? To make it more dramatic ??

For my best friend T, who'll be travelling soon, please have a safe flight to Italy and back! I will miss you dearly

Ya me inmajino ke helado ha deser en las alturas

I'm not a pilot I just like flying, I do have a question about this landing. The flaps on this plane seem to be set for take-off and not for landing does anyone know why?

gone with the wind... Just like a leaf that has blown away

impressive one

Dunno...appeared to be smooth as a glider to me.

Im going to London on November 9 2019, in one month (first flight) guess what , we arrive at gatwick..:/

I would say God’s will be done and start praying my rosary until the plane lands or crashes

Bumpy it was!

4:06 i felt like my tummy jumped to my heart, that feeling when its about to land is so disturbing for me

That was a close one. Another inch or 2 and the right wingtip would have touched the ground. Fk flying. I absolutely HATE it. I wish no one would have ever invented planes.

Looked fine to me

Omg... scary touchdown

Nice video, but very little turbulence.

i would be more worried about the age of their aircraft - ancient

good vid.

That was minor turbulence at most.
