Storm Isha gust stops landing plane in mid-air!!! 

🤣👍

😂😂😂😂

Passenger, good job I brought a change of underwear

Mother Nature: "Eat your veggies or no landing mister" 🌬️💨✈️

Fantastic landing

So true

GS= um well 4-5 kts....IAS well thats a different story LOL

the wind is very cool

You are so right, and that's the perfect example.

Reminds me of the first time I flew the 7AC backwards with my flight instructor. Yes it is possible with enough of a headwind.

That's a big word for a car wash employee. 😁

Quick Quack?

@@ftroop8462 Mister Mister…

Cannot vouch for your identity, but wit confirmed.

What about any airplane upholstery cleaners?

I can only imagine there was potential to lose lift when the plane stopped moving forward.

@@geniferteal4178Not really - the plane was still moving at flight speed through the air it was in. Remaining airborne is dependent on air speed, not ground speed. If the wind is high enough, you could technically land an airplane backwards, relative to the ground.

@babybirdhome yes I thought of this as I wrote. The wind could suddenly stop. That would present a problem. then again if you were accelerating into a headwind and getting nowhere and the wind stopped You would just start moving and be back to normal flight. So that wouldn't even be a problem.

Sideways is a normal taxi?😮

I

He probably did well in the stool competition as well.

​@davidcrocker4276 😅😅 true! I noticed his taxi was faster than the landing itself

IIRC, STOL competitions pretty much were set to be exactly like this; light planes with fast headwinds.

@Eis_ So interesting thankyou 😀

OOHH GREEAATTT ! Now we have an airplane that identifies as a helicopter.

He did a brilliant job! anyone who says he didn’t obviously has not flown a light aircraft in strong winds!

"what happened to any landing you walk away from is a good landing" - well, it's one of the quotes told by a fictional pilot who's supposed to teach people how NOT to fly.

@@TheHirokaraka It's a common misquote that is; "Any CRASH landing you can walk away from is a good one". All landings are supposed to be good, that's why they gave us pilot licenses.

Because it’s poor ADM to even be up there

​@@ChrisShaferKTMDo you know where the flight started, what his job was etc. etc. ?He did s brilliant job. I hate you haters.

When I was about 5 or 6, I watched my uncle land his Cub going backwards. Not really fast, about a walking pace.

At Ft. Sill in Oklahoma I’ve seen pilots in Piper PA-18 take off, gain a little altitude, hover backwards and land in same spot during strong headwinds.

Amusing, but why would they even do that for? Just for the lolz and bragging right? It seems kinda childish to me

@@dan-nutu because what goes up must (sooner or later) come down. Headwind or not.

@@ArKritz84 I meant why do they go up in the first place in such weather, especially in such small aircraft

yep, wind speed lower at ground level 😃

It looked a little wonky until he raised the flaps.

Lol

Yes, I was expecting him to come to a dead stop when he landed, lol.

His airspeed remained above the required speed for lift while his ground speed suddenly stopped.

I was about to say that too! WOW! Superb handling! Kept the nose up👍

For a moment, the entire world became that aircraft's wind tunnel.

The pilot started flying and airplane and ended up landing an airplane

Brakes? Where we’re landing… we don’t need brakes.

@@JediOfTheRepublic then why did it come down like a helicopter? Checkmate

How long have you been doing that? My mother was a teacher, and she taught at the school in Kongiganak for a couple years as a way to pay off debts prior to retiring... They pay teachers really well out there. This was a little over 20 years ago. She probably made that Kong to Bethel trip a dozen times or more.

@@puckcat22679 It was years ago, in the early 90s. I flew lots of YKSD teachers

That’s like the saying about the farmers in the windy plains. “It’s so windy that one time the wind stopped and we all fell down “

Too much cowbell!

My thoughts also, have to keep some momentum, the wind can change speed faster than the aircraft can accelerate. If the relative wind speed falls below the wing stall speed, you've lost lift and will fall. Advice is to fly Vref=1.2xStall speed + 1/2 Head Wind + 1/2(or 1x) Gust speed delta. So seems like it was flying a bit slow, Stall would be about 50kts, Vref would be 60kts, if the wind was 40kt gusting to 60, he should not have had 0 ground speed, but at peak gust would still have 60kt + 20kt + 10kt (90 kts air speed), or 30kt ground.

This ^

@@TD_YT066 I've NEVER seen anyone add 1/2 the headwind component to approach speed; I mean, why would you? It's already added to your indicated just from being ram air. Gust factor obviously gets added to the approach velocity from the possibility of shear and loss of lift, but not the headwind. Also I'm pretty sure Vref is 1.3*Vso. More importantly though, you can't judge his approach speed based on if he seemed "like it was flying a bit slow." His indicated might very well have been well over 100 kias (normal for the sr20 is like 75), but we can't know just from how fast the plane is moving over the ground. Judging on how he was weathervaning wildly and not dying, I'm going to assume he was at a pretty damn high power setting just to make the runway. It's easy to be an armchair, but I for one wouldn't have been able to land that, and I doubt too many people in this comment section could have either. I would have diverted, but maybe he couldn't have for any number of reasons. Either way, none of this matters. Have a good day!

Absolutely lucky to have it soo steady and coming from the same heading

I think what this is saying is that, if the wind suddenly slowed, the plane would not drop: it would appear to accelerate forward, looking more like a normal approach to landing.

.... and patience.

And luck.

Not taking off would have been good piloting

​@JK-zx3go maybe he knows his limitations and he's better than you?

@@mark675 does the weather know his limitations?

What limitations? ​@@JK-zx3go

The pilots hands were a blur. I bet

Safe to say that all four of his limbs were in constant action!

How did you ever escape Sarah Palin's backyard?

Yep it’s flat

Good ol' Banning pass. I used to fly all over that area when I was flying out of Palomar.

Flew from Fullerton to Palm Springs a few times back in the 80's, It's okay because on the return trip no cars have a ground speed greater than yours. I went up with my instructor on a high wind day once and it was like an elevator ride, so bizarre to climb 700' a minute while doing about 20 knots over the ground.

@@RamblerMan68 Probably seen you landing at Palomar, I used to live in the flight path in San Marcos. 🙂

Just flew through there the other day. Calm on the ground, 30 knot headwind at 4,000 ft

I've passed a few plans there...in my Prius!

Sure showed some presence of mind, just imagine the adrenalin.

He definitely didn't want to get back in the air any time soon

Dont know the Sirrus POH but usually a flapless is prefered in those conditions and enough runway available.

METAR optional too I suspect.

I agree he has eyes outside the cockpit, but I strongly disagree about the ASI. Airspeed is in no way optional under these conditions, with the headwind approaching the stall speed, and your ground speed approaches zero. But I have yet to solo…

@OnerousEthic The preface behind the statement " ASI optional" is that if you are trying to use your ASI to monitor the amount of airflow about your airfoils in such conditions, you will be 2 miles behind your airplane and run the real risk of running out of energy and exceeding the critical AoA. Eyes outside, keep plenty of energy in the form of airspeed, and 'fly the airplane'. I highly recommend that you have your cfi cover your ASI and practice flying and landing without it.

Maybe the cockpit video will reveal that the wind was calm and really it's that a squirrel got loose in the cockpit. 😂

152 in Hawaii, on the windward side of Oahu you could hover a 152

One wheel came up- that's why crosswind corrections are so important.

I'm going to suggest that is fairly normal for that airstrip and that pilot has done that before... at 1:58 it looked like half the town was out "spectating" and even had benches for them to sit on... and that was a fairly professional video recording...

@@t.c.2776 Well... maybe! But the air controller mentioned, just after the plane had touched down and was securely taxiing, that she was impressed. So... not THAT common, I guess!

I'm not a pilot but why wouldn't the pilot just give it more gas so he could land at a decent speed, unless he was just seeing how short of a landing he could make. Sounds a little dangerous

@@4wheelliving132 because, if you come in too hot, the plane will not land, it will float, a couple of feet off the runway, while it dissipates speed, increasing the time during which something bad can happen. Having said this, in a turbulent approach, some extra airspeed should be carried (half the gust component), and that pilot probably did. Also, the airplane in flight knows nothing of ground speed, it does not affect its flight the least bit.

"Land an aircraft without using your brakes." "Land an aircraft in less than 20'."

hysterical

The best comment I've heard in a couple of years. Thank you!!

HUH? Carriers have 20+ knots going down the deck due to their speed plus they point *into* wind which is then added to the wind speed down the deck. No x-wind landings there unless there was a dire emergency involved.

That’s called « wind ».

@@joso5554 what’s called wind?

Airspeed and ground speed ?

@@dujuanjohnson5025 In aviation, we have indicated airspeed,calibrated airspeed, true airspeed, and ground speed.

With respect please look at what airmanship actually means (ask your instructor). Stick and rudder skill (which I think you are referring to )is only part of flying and forms part of airmanship. I question the airmanship here: using flaps and what appears to be a low indicated airspeed approach speed suggests poor airmanship. Further, did they know and understand the weather before setting off? Maybe they did and maybe they were very comfortable to do this. Pleas ask your flight instructor about this video and this comment. And good luck with your PPL! One of the best things I ever did.

@@marspp 'Landings should be made with full flaps. Landings with less than full flaps are recommended only if the flaps fail to deploy or to extend the aircraft’s glide distance due to engine malfunction.' - SR20 POH

Good airmanship is not relying on skill to make up for poor decision making… enjoy your training and I would advocate a discussion with your instructor about this video!

Some are splitting hairs over the definition of airmanship. Seriously? According to the FAA, Airmanship is a broad term that includes a sound knowledge of and experience with the principles of flight; the knowledge, experience, and ability to operate an aircraft with competence and precision both on the ground and in the air. With that said, I agree with @ctwalston1565. This guy does have sound knowledge of and experience with the principles of flight and the ability to operate an aircraft with competence. Amazing airmanship indeed!!!

Don't put yourself in this position and expect a good outcome. If the wind dies, that plane stalls immediately with zero recopy altitude.

Yeah, just not in back. Not enough space left ... 😂

Not so sure he COULD'VE done a go-around...he'd need to turn to fly with the wind to get away, and he might've lost lift in that attempted turn.

🤣🤣🤣

He actually coukd have landed direct on the parking ramp. His groundspeed was only taxi speed.

I've experienced this but at 2000 feet. I'd be a little worried 30 feet off the runway. @@dr_jaymz

@@dr_jaymz You kinda beat me to it… I was about to say he could have just put it down in the parking lot….😊
