STORM CIARA CHALLENGING PILOTS AT BIRMINGHAM AIRPORT 

Sure, and ofc it's the pilots call to proceed with the landing or abandon it, but imagine being afraid to fly, having to land in these conditions, seeing the runway through your window IN FRONT OF YOU and then: 4:30 . You thank whatever supernatural entity you believe in for having made it alive, are relieved that the plane is on the ground, and then: NOPE, TO/GA and the same again. That's just plain cruel.

@@brkr78 Yeah, maybe, but it is better to have to do it again and survive when the pilot makes the right call to go around. There is no shame in it and your passengers and aircraft are still in one piece and not scattered all over the ground. I dare say a lot of the people on these aircraft were not very happy or even scared, but I would rather do it again and survive it, even though I was scared shitless! Yeah, I feel for those that are scared to fly, but if they were on one of those aircraft and they landed safely it might help them, or put them totally the other way and never fly again. I don't think I would like to be on one, but I am the type that would probably go.

One more time boss that was fun.

@@scruffy6151 Yeah! Let's go round until we are low in fuel .

bob fourjs My brother died at the hands of a student pilot who made a mistake learning LAPES because "Going around again" was rejected as a human error and who knows maybe personal flaw to be recorded in their training record, at the time. So I can fully agree with you, probably the other five ppl who perished at that time would, as well. Better Safe than sorry is more precious to me than higher chance of death, so Im partial to that.

😂

Lord Glenard of Glencoe Are you stupid? It’s not joke at all.

@@aan2538 ????

Sherbet_Bomb your not funny

@@benbib3734 I wasn't been funny. I'm serious. Being a pilot is a big responsibility. I sure as hell couldn't do it.

I wish that was true. You should look up Colgan Air crash.

bullshit

Class 😂👌

💀🤣

Could not of put it better my self

Classic!

@Rolex drone channel. 8-)

Almost as if they had gone through a training programme that costs several hundred thousand dollars per person.

David Wolf polish pilots ;-)

@@scrappl9e410 really polish?

Damian W. Yes ;)

I wouldn't say so! How about the case when russian pilot gave his son to rule a steering wheel and he crashed the plane down and everybody on that plane died! Maybe it's only russian pilots incompetent, I don't know.

@@irkenpostIt's only russian pilots

@@irkenpost What I meant was there's no margin of error. You have to be a good pilot or you'll kill everyone on board including yourself.

@@kcmn0089 Well same for bus drivers or train drivers right? If I have my stats right, airplanes are the safest form of transport so actually they have less risk on their job...

@@mrbignose888 Still, it takes a lot more skill to learn how to be a good pilot. I have a cousin who is a pilot and my brother in law is a train driver. To become a train driver he didn't require a special degree or course, just 8 months of training. My cousin on the other hand had to take specific (very expensive) course, followed by years and years of training.

🥴😂

Greta J Yep, that's me! Also keep away from reading Aviation Herald online site about Incidents and crashes etc on a daily basis round the world

This one demonstrates that pilots are trained to deal with rough weather without compromising the safety.

@Greta J 😂😂 i was thinking same thing. wholly smokes those pilots are skilled

Lol yup agreed.

benm mbk yes, those holiday makers would have to spend their money in UK hotels if there were no planes.

exactly especially when this is something they won't do as a day to day routine

Nah I prefer the ones on Mars personally.

Bruh are you being sarcastic?? Cah i cant really tell. These pilots went though hell (school) for so many years to get to where they are rn, have some respect.

@@karmazfx255 they are being respectful

the planes do most of the work themselves these days.

They certainly earned their money here Thanks for watching Daf

It couldn't have been much fun for the passengers either. I remember being on a flight trying to land in heavy fog before aborting at the second attempt to another airport. Some passengers were being sick with fear.

@@legend9335 That must have been scary.

It's all in the perspective. That is 3000m long runway, and those humps are only 3-4 meters high. So it's basically same as flat.

@@RoyalMela Question is, why aren't they totally flat?

This is typical of U.K. runways constructed during WW2 then extended for the first jet era and extended again for the wide body era. Ideal they should be flat ( but with very subtle slopes for drainage) (Eg Dublin new runway under construction in 2020) but the international regulations also allow for slopes up to a maximum gradient and also a maximum rate -of -change of gradient. The tight photo angle also exaggerates any slopes.

XBarajasX because they don't have to be.

@pilotguy707 idk if this is a bruh moment but you can just build it flat?

ATC wouldn't call them off...it's the captain's decision

Totally agree!! That 380 almost couldnt

Its a dolphin a mil. Spec helicopter

Yeah not worth the risk

I think it wasn't being flown, it just blew up in the wind.

@@pacemakerkiprunner5283 : It's OK. Rotary wing aircraft are very well adapted at flying sideways. Watch some of the videos of the AH-64 performing aerobatics. Very impressive!

Brummies mate. Hard as nails lol.

They are mad

We had a one legged pilot that I used to work with and he could set a helicopter down on a dime. There were so many times when I had to go up in the helicopter to take aerial photos and the only thing holding me in was the harness because he didn't believe in putting the doors on. He said doors were for wimps. Would bank that helicopter so far on my side I thought for sure I would fall out. Thank God my camera was on a strap around my neck. Best pilot I ever flew with.

Robert Phillips - and doing all three within 10 seconds!

@ Robert Phillips , you know the landing is going to be tricky when the passengers halfway back in the cabin can see the runway out the side window better than you can in the cockpit because you are crabbing in ( sideways) on heavy crosswinds..., lol, good post my friend

Wonder how much fun this would be at nighttime, bad enough during the day!

😂😂

Once airborne the captain had to point his aircraft into the crosswind to compensate for drift.

Alan Simpson ‘Drift’ doesn’t quite convey the amount of sideways blow!

And bloddy birds... sure they was very, very welcome there 😳

Christ isn't just a throwaway name to use without thought. Consider Calvary and all He suffered. Then take on board His resurrection and the empty tomb He left behind. History is His story. What will history make of you and I? More to the point, when this short life is over, the only thing that will matter is how we responded to the One who overcame death. Something to consider, that is! As Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth and the life. No man comes to the Father but by me." That really IS something for the thoughtful person to think over...

Paul Arrowsmith shut up mate no need to bring religion into it

It was Lloyd! 😆🤙

👍😂😂

😂 😂 😂

ditto 😂

Fook U 2!

If it gets too windy you can always turn the fan off 🥴😂

Totally insane!! not even the dog will go out for a ride in this shit!!

Meh. Just get clear of ground turbulence quickly enough, and it's all a doddle. Never mind the hopping and bopping.

A cross wind is not a problem in a helicopter. Just turn it into the wind. Might be the safest thing to try a take off and land on that day.

@@flyerbob124 That's one side of the story. With a fully articulated rotor, a sudden unloading of the rotor might with some helis cause the rotor to go unstable, though. Mastbumping is no a desirable thing to happen. It's not *all* that easy. The pilots know what they let themselves into, though

ejulianlugo17 I'm sure every sane pilot would rather have no challenges at all when flying a hunk of metal with 200 people on board.

jaxsun72 Mine actually goes down when I see such videos because this tells me that pilots can takeoff and land a plane even if the weather is the evil

Yes but even the most experienced pilot couldn’t made a good landing, yes they do landed, maybe bc “external pressure” bc for all the airlines ppl are just $€£ so they MUST landed🤬 Imagine how those passengers felt inside that big and heavy plane going unstable to the right-left feeling the pilot trying to get control just in the most dangerous part of a flight. Happy that this ended fine B”H

jaxsun72 😧same here

If you can get to it 💩🤮😂

I hate flying but have to do it every year for those holidays abroad and if I was on them planes I would be screaming like a bitch , just go`s to show them pilots have to have nerves of steel .

Anddddddd that's why i dont fly..... smdh

:)) I was taking leak ones , when plane fit turbulence :)))) I went all over the walls :))

@@YorkieLad it's routine for them. Doing the same things for 10 years makes you more confident about it and you don't shit your pants. In fact if you are afraid in an emergency, the airline will probably fire you cause it is most vital to remain calm when for example an engine blows out or something unexpected happens

Thanks Don. I bet she was happy 💩💩💩 🤠

What is wizz air?

@@Corsairforu it is an airline that does european flight like easy jet

Hold my beer whilst I spool these 4 super massive engines up!

No matter how heavy u are....once u Glide/Float in Air/ Water....u r at the mercy of floating medium P.s - I m Marine Deck Officer Loaded VLCCs weighing 1000 times of A380 r tossed around like toys in rough seas 😃😃

So true!!!

Indeed

Thank you 👍

I read that in The Critical Drinker's voice

another storm today "storm dennis to outdo storm ciara"

She'll be right as aussie say, but always a F,,k up

It is common on old runways with a long history.

Well, I think it's also pure passion!

It’s a vocation

If you could see the look on their faces though. If those windows were open you would hear some serious screaming. Hope those people packed some extra underwear.

Rob Cameron polish pilots :-)

Well, what else can they do it for other than money and enjoying it?

Triscia Francescka Jardine - 😭😭😭👍🏿
