Aer Lingus and Ryanair’s pilots were definitely on their game…
We’ve all had to endure Storm Rachel’s recent foul weather and while JOE was safely confined indoors, there’s always some people that have to brave the elements.
The conditions wreaked havoc around the country as pilots flying into Dublin had to land with double the amount of caution due to the increased wind speeds and treacherous crosswinds.
Take a look as the planes initially wobble mid-air before being forced to ascend briefly due to the adverse conditions.
YouTuber Stephen Rutledge uploaded this footage and it’s interesting to overhear the constant communication that’s involved during the landing process to ensure a safe flight.
