Trust me, even a student pilot should be able to do that with confidence towards the end of his PPL training. But when doing it for the first time, even if successful it's nerve rattling beyond description.
it's not just hard to film, according to Japanese aviation fans, only ONE DIGIT of landings happen on RWY14L/R in RJOO every YEAR. It's just crazy rare.
Great video! What we are seeing is the pilot 'crabbing' into the wind. (Google 'crab angle'). It looks like 'drifting', but we don't use that term here. The aircraft is pointed in a direction different from its heading (the direction it is actually going) to make up for the wind. This part is actually easy. What is hard, and what the pilot did so well, is re-orienting the aircraft in the seconds before touchdown so that the aircraft is now pointing in the same direction it is going. But he still has a crosswind, so he has to lower the upwind wing a bit so that the plane is now 'slipping' into the wind, and staying on the centerline (google sideslip). Great Job, pilot & photographer!
What a beautiful landing! I've watched quite a few crosswind landings on UA-cam, but this video offers the most stunning perspective I've ever seen. You are really skilled, and I pay my respects to you
Yeah, this runway use is very rare and annoying for me haha, 6 weeks of time waiting again since then. I went last month, nice green grass now instead of brown grass etc.
This is an amazing video. The pilot is incredibly skilled, but the camerawork that consistently captures the aircraft perfectly in the center is also impressive.
*I went back there over the last year three times totalling 6 weeks of waiting for the wind change, while it did change, they don't favor this runway for weaker winds. This video may help me go back there again and with a better camera*
This is 14 side landing of Osaka International Airport (ITM, ITAMI Airport). This way is used at only several days in Spring southern wind, about 4 percent of all landing. ITM is used only for domestic flights, and jet planes with three or more engines are prohibited from landing due to noise pollution. On the other hand, until this rule was applied in 2006, large aircraft such as Boeing 747s also made large turns and landed at 14 in the spring. Even now, 777-300s occasionally land in the same way.
Forget the pilot Im amazed at the cameraman the clarity of the zoom is incredible The location of this view' point is spectacular Amazing location for plane spotting ❤
That is outstanding, it's a very difficult approach not one that I would think of trying anytime soon..Very Good job!!!! Nice camera work & audio..thank you for sharing this great video with us all, Cheers....
@@worldaviation4k thanks for your reply, if I had the chance I might try an approach like that with a Gulfstream G 550, the massive wingspan and two Rolls-Royce engines would certainly be some kind of fun !!!!!
Steep turns over congested areas require altitude and a steep approach. By landing longer, the PIC made it less stressful for the passengers. He had plenty of runway and exited quickly.
I'm a longtime professional pilot, now retired. Yes, that pilot was well trained and did a fine job, but I think fewer camera people could have done that video that the percentage of pilots who could make that landing. Great camera work ....
Yeah it's not easy, I stayed 6 weeks total and didn't get anything. But it did change last month for about 3 hours and I was waiting to fly to itami from Haneda but it stopped on our approach
Absolutely brilliant camerawork and piloting skill. Thank you, and no, editing software doesn't make you not lose what you're filming, like most other videos online where they get what they're filming, losing it, filming something else, then getting it again. Hats off to you. And yes, brilliant piloting as well, he had it all planned out beforehand and did it like any normal landing.
Much appreciated! These ones are re-edited and zoomed more so it might look a bit blurred, I hope to get another try with a different camera and more zoom lens, i tried for 5 weeks but no luck yet, I will keep going back
Gusts are what make cross-winds really vicious. Steady crosswinds are easy.. The pilots have a chart to tell them how much crosswind they can accept but in bad gusty conditions, you just don't know what you are going to get. That's why god created the go-around.
Not a “Tokyo Drift”, but a “crab” followed by a Forward Slip”. A basic technique taught to every beginning pill. But, exquisite execution by the pilot!

Landing at ITM can be pretty scary in certain wind conditions, but I've never experienced one like this. Great job in capturing this. If you do the approach into ITM over Osaka downtown at night, it's the nearest thing to flying over Coruscant (in Star Wars).
I took a few hours of private pilot lessons once upon a time, one of the hardest things I encountered was deciphering what was being said on the radio. I could watch/listen to this video for a hundred years and I would not be able to tell you what all they said. That being said, I assume not all transmissions were in English. And if they were? I'd be screwed. Great crabbing by the pilot.
Got to be the most beautiful city in the background that I’ve ever seen! Gee, must be wonderful to live there. Such marvelous and timeless archetecture. 🙄
Beautiful landing. This runway usually only gets used when there's a typhoon nearby, as the wind comes in from the east or south. I've seen some pretty impressive crab landings from the riverside path at the end of that runway as well. Awesome to watch the planes wobble around in crosswind gusts before skilful crab manoeuvres get the planes on the ground. A few go-arounds as well...
The pilot was well prepared. He knew in advance what the guts wind was 20 mph - 30 mph is not too bad to make a magnificent short cut landing. Nicely executed. 😅
Sweet video AND pilot work. Nice landing... It wasn't until nearing the end of the final approach when they were lined up and in the crab that I caught on to what was actually happening.
Beautifully captured...Kudos....great background sound....though I couldn't make out most of the chatter except someone was being asked to contact Tokyo Control (?) on 133.5....and that are some touch-and-gos going on somewhere 😅
@@brianmckillop5017 Any pilot with a valid Type Rating (qualification) on 777/787 with a proper training with this kind of approach. Of course with the minimum crew (1 pilot flying, 1 monitoring). It's like anything in life, some are better than others. This is a crosswind landing after an LDA approach (final approach course not aligned with the runway, way offset). Not easy but not out of the routine skills for a 777/787 pilot. This one was well done. The aircraft floated a little bit crabing due to crosswinds. If the aircraft could not touch down at the end of the markings, the crew would have done a go around. So it was not that easy this day then we can say the approach and landing were well executed with these conditions. Crosswind landings and approaches with a course not alighed with the runway tend to be more challenging.
Great shots. As a pilot myself this does a much better job of showing the spatiality of flying. What kind of camera are you using and where did you film it from?
It is one of my favourites to see, It was the sony a7iii and then smoothed in editing. This one i'd re-downloaded as well and put back through the editor as it was a 20 minute video
The one time camera man knew he had one job to do, like the pilot, and did it to perfection.
Haha you have the editing software to thank for the smoothness 🙂
Incredible! The pilot's entire approach angle had the extreme crabbing needed already planned. Amazing piloting skills.
😍😍😍😍😍😍
Extreme 💯

Nice curve, but we do not see that very often on YT, because its hard to film it. My compliments go to the camera man, what a shot!
thanks very much, it's a nice spot on the mountain :)

@@harrisonneff9906 yes less than 10 a year
@@harrisonneff9906do you think it might have something to do with the incredible crosswind drift we just saw on this video?
That was a poem.. I know it's just a plane, but the pilot made it poetic.
That pilot loves his job! To my amateur's eye, that was a perfect 45-degree cross-wind landing. He made that bird fly steadily as a rock!
Bloody beautiful photography of a bloody marvelous approach and cross wind landing into a difficult airport.
This is an amazing video. The pilot is incredibly skilled, but the camerawork that consistently captures the aircraft perfectly in the center is also impressive.
通常は南側からアプローチして着陸しますが風向きによってこのように北側からアプローチして着陸することがあります。パイロットの技量も凄いがこの動画の撮影の技量も凄い。素晴らしい！
撮影技術に感動した！！どこから狙ったんでしょう。六甲山からかな？
This captain WROTE THE BOOK on crosswind landings. Nice job, skipper!
Not only was that not Auto-Pilot , but 💯 human flying - it was also IMPECCABLE 👌👏
yes you are right :)
That was amazing. Kai Tak style.
yes :)
Better than.
*I went back there over the last year three times totalling 6 weeks of waiting for the wind change, while it did change, they don't favor this runway for weaker winds. This video may help me go back there again and with a better camera*
What is your current camera / lens setup? Approximately how far away are your from the runway? Very impressive...
It was really impressive footage though. Equally impressive as this amazing pilot.
There's something strange. The airport described is in the middle of Osaka Bay on the sea. Where are we here?
@@prodottinotevoli somewhere north-west of the airport, at least 5Km away I would guess. Perhaps close to here: maps.app.goo.gl/muRmoBWVXux16HKY8

Like a glove....and into crosswinds. Outstanding.
Nice crosswinds
Many thanks for this excellent footage! 👍 Beautiful approach and a very impressive crosswind landing, can watch again and again.
Thank you too! 🙂
This is why it isn't cringe to applaud once you land
That’s like the old Kai Tak Hong Kong checkerboard landing! Mad skills!
Those were some obviously vicious cross winds. Skillful approach and landing.

Incredible crosswind control!
Btw… the B52 landing gear is designed for this type of approach… the trucks can be turned to line up with the pavement whilst the plane is slipping…
Wonderful. I have never seen such landing. Great.
Amazing, great camera work!
Thanks a lot!
Quite a routine landing actually , but the camera angle makes it look very impressive.

👏. .👏 . . wonderful job ! 👍👋. . 👋. .👉💨
The pilot is enjoying for this extreme maneuver. He is waiting for this great moment 🎉
I’m almost as impressed with the amazing camera lens this was shot with!
I've made this approach and landing into downtown Osaka hundreds of times in a 747 back in the 90'S then we ended up going to KIX airport
Wow awesome piloting skills with cross wind landing. Bravo 🎉
Thanks for the visit
I can imagine the captain shouting “for the emperor!!” While putting in 60 degrees of bank turning final.
You are a real hot dog sir... best I've ever seen. Great video 👍
thank you :)

The whole video , I was like WTF , HTF DID THAT HAPPEN 😂
kudos to the pilots !
Dayumm !
Gotta be an airforce pilot !
Amazing pilot, played that wind like a piano. 🎹🎹🎹
Just scrolled down, camera up on a nearby mountain. Great panning shot.
thank you, it was shaky but the editing made it smoother, hopefully i'll be able to go back again with more zoom (this cropped)
As a 43 year pilot, I see this as a good easy landing. A slight crosswind that was done very well..

What camera did you use? Perfect shot and a good angle, I can see the airplane fly like a bird.
Besides pilot skills, the photography also needs to be appreciated 👍
That wasn't autopilot. AI couldn't do that. That was a human.
You are right, an LDA approach
Yep 100% manual flying. Maybe with auto-throttle as in some companies they authorize their use in 777/787 when flying manually.

Give that pilot a raise.
After a drifting fly by wire it just struggle landed in crosswind weather. Great pilot skill, no AI needed..
