  • Let me take you along to Milan Malpensa, Italy. A gusty crosswind landing and approach in a Boeing 737-400 (Boeing 737 Classic). The video shows what it's like to fly an ILS approach in a Boeing 737 -400 in crosswind conditions. Interesting facts, approach charts and actual call-outs and Boeing procedures were added to provide a sense of everything that is going on inside the cockpit during landing. Let me know what you think of this video guys! Extremely Gusty Crosswind Landing Boeing 737-400 Milan | Cockpit View | Life Of An Airline Pilot

    She's landing with a 60 degree crosswind @ 23, gusting to 29. Anyone who's ever landed an airplane in a crosswind can appreciate the level of concentration and skill it takes to land safely under those conditions . . . Appeared to be just another day at the office for her! Well done!

    • @karhukivi
      @karhukivi 3 роки тому +8

      A 60 deg crosswind at an average wind speed of say 26 kts equates to a crosswind component of 13 kts and a headwind component of 23 kts. The forward speed is about 130 kts so the crab angle is 1 in 10 or about 6 degrees, not a lot for a big aircraft. The gusty wind is more of a problem than the crosswind.

      I like watching females doing things in a traditionally mans world and in many cases doing even better at it, my wife is a pilot and a good one. Never flew a heavy airplane but the weight would help stabilize things as long as you hold the right line and descent rate right. My small light Searey is a hand full and being it's a tail dragger makes things even more fun in gusty winds. You were really yanking and banking on that yoke but it looked like a really did a nice touch down.

    • @dishonestlawyers

      crosswind landings are difficult. But remember: This airplane is swept wing which gives you little room for banking compared to a strait wing.

      This perspective of the cockpit is so weird, I watched the last 10 seconds to touch down x times now and I can't see 100% the moment, when the front wheels touches the ground, nothing shows the nose going down and I also can't see, if at the touch down of the main landing gear the right or the left wheels touch fist the runway or both the same. Can you know this exacly, if one side touches much earlier the runway than the rest of the wheels?

    A cross wind landing I did once on my flight check with a KLM pilot as my copilot saw us veer late and heavily to the left of the runway heading when a strong gust of wind came suddenly across the runway. I put in full opposite aileron and rudder with additional power to slide back onto the runway heading. Re-centered the controls in unison, lowered the power setting and kissed the runway right on cue. God-powered flying as I like to call it. Pure instinct. You become the plane. You show the same set of natural skills. Nice job.

Now, I just take control of the plane and work the problem. You want to try and land a weight shift in strong winds or do a cross wind landing onto a grass strip with a weight shift.. that’s a whole different ball game. I’ve flown all sorts now and each time I learn something new. Yes, there is an element of luck, but you can make your own luck and as my instructor always used to bellow at me, fly the plane and keep a good eye out for traffic.

Yes, I know there's even autoland and all, but just the amount of switches that need to be flipped upon landing alone is staggering. Truly amazing to be able to coordinate your body and mind to follow such a flow of operations.

      This was mainly due to emergencies, or other Pilot sickness, severe family situations, etc.
      I was fortunate to fly with him several times and witness first hand the life of a commercial pilot's life! You go on 2 to 7 day plus flights that start somewhere in the early morning hours, and may end after 7pm that night, "sometimes' during your flight schedule! I have seen a lot of the World from 5 miles up in the air. I have fond memories of these trips!
      Definitely spending 12 hours in a plane daily is something you have to get use to.
      Plus, both Captain & FO are constantly watching the skies for dangers, or other aircraft! I remember one time we (or they) came very close to another countries military aircraft! It's was well over with before anyone commented! Maybe 3 seconds of the flight, sighting till it passed us! If was headed straight towards us! We were taking off, and they were landing! They don't know how this happened, but it did!
      Other dangers is the skies, Clouds, Thunderstorms, other abnormal activities. People don't realize the Pilots make decisions daily altering the planes path to avoid certain Cloud Formations, especially if there is lighting visible. They referenced the radar as well. The plane also had other warning gauges.

    I loved her final moments before touchdown. A lot of steering input in rapid succession. She's basically flying by the seat of her pants. The plane wants to move around in the crosswind, and she is responding instantly with the steering. That is experience from a finely tuned butt. I'm a retired Marine Corps weather forecaster. Fortunately, Sailors and Marine aircraft have the tail hook option. Just turn final a little on the short side, touch down with one wheel, and take the wire. It will straighten you right out and stop you in a matter of plane lengths. Let's see you do that with a 737! We kind of draw the line at a 30 degree crosswind, but I have see our experienced pilots do a lot more than that. The Navy guys have it a little easier. They just turn the boat into the wind!

      @@miked5539 Not really true, Mike D. The rougher the air, the more often the aircraft gets off the glide path, whether it's on autopilot or being flown manually. When the aircraft moves off the glide path abruptly, it needs to be flown right back on it. Thus the "abrupt" and numerous control inputs. Remaining off the glide path can lead to a dangerous "dragged-in" approach or being so steep that a safe landing cannot be made in the available runway.

      @sblack48 4 роки тому +2

      In a big heavy airplane (relatively speaking) those large sharp inputs only generate relatively small responses at low speed. So if you saw the outside view you would not see the aircraft flight path deviate much. But she can’t let it start to deviate. She is aggressively keeping the airplane exactly where she wants it in-spite of the gusts trying to blow her off the approach path in pitch or roll. You would never see her make inputs like that in climb or cruise. It’s the most demanding aspect of handling the aircraft, other than an engine failure, and you can see that she does it with complete confidence. I expect it is also the most fun part of the flight. You can tell by her handling and the way her hands just fly to all the right switches and dials, by muscle memory, that she has several thousand hrs under her belt, probably many of them in the 737.

The faster the plane is moving the less you have to move the controls to get it to move in the direction you want it to go. And she is also having to do more corrections than normal because of the winds.

    A friendly, competent and confident pilot flying. Just a couple of suggestions. Many line captains (but just about all training captains) really push the sterile below 10,000 feet doctrine, which include few (if any) joking remarks from 10,000 feet until parked at the gate unless something quite out of the ordinary and humorous occurs in between. Smiles and looking at the pilot in the left seat does break the ice and can build rapport, but too often and it might also work against you. Also, a confirmation which is critical after landing is the "clear on the (left or right)" call when you are about to cross another runway (active or non-active) and clear head movements by both pilots in the direction of that runway. Dutch Pilot Girl demonstrated a very smooth last twenty feet without any unnecessary jerky control wheel movement, and she demonstrated good command in relation to the thrust lever quadrant actions. Thanks. Great video clip.
