Airline pilots were put to the test yesterday as the tail end of Hurricane Gonzalo brought some seriously high-speed winds to Ireland and the UK…
Pilots are trained to cope in all sorts of extreme weather conditions and landing a plane in strong winds is common practice for most. So while the landings in the videos below look fairly ropey, we can rest assured that the pilots had it all under control.
At least that’s what the pilots would lead you to believe…
All three landings were recorded at Leeds Bradford Airport over in the UK and it shows us just how hard the pilots had to wrestle their planes while making the approach in the strong winds.
