@@tvm73827 We usually try to maintain centerline and “crab” into the wind the entire time. Then de-crab the aircraft last minute. He literally overshot the runway and used the wind to perfectly position himself for landing. Almost impossible to do. To come in at that 45 degree angle and know exactly how much wind is going to push a 300,000 pound airplane so you don’t have to crab or slip. It’s utterly remarkable and I could never pull it off.
I’ve flown in and out of Osaka in the early Spring. I recall it being relativity calm and quiet. Or at least our pilot made it seem that way. Nothing but praise.
@@rfspilot hahaha that's funny. I'm a Pakistani American and I learned about this new meaning of "cross" a few years ago so I thought perhaps I need to enlighten you :P
This camera angle makes it look like the pilot missed the runway, then somehow miraculously has time to do almost a 180 from 200' in the air! Not sure if that's actually what happened, but the footage is incredible.
Perfectly touched down with both gear parallel to the white lines. That, was exceptional and what a view you captured. PIC judged the crosswind with perfection.
Well the landing was outside of the touchdown zone with a flare time longer than the one considered for the inflight landing calculation. I would not call that perfect.
@@danwilliams6916 I am not sure if you are a real world pilot. I am just trying to expand your view and knowledge in case you are not so you can make a better judgement. That landing was out of regulations, most likely triggered flight data monitoring forcing him to file a report and if anything would have happened he would need a good explanation for not going around.
@@Mike25654 wasn't it just by the last marker of the touchdown zone? And do you know what the criteria for being stabilized are for a visual (I guess) approach like that?
@@XL0hr For inflight landing distance calculations nowadays the "operational landing distance" is used, which calculates with a 7 second flare followed by maximal manual braking once on the ground. Of course we don't know how long the runway was in the video and how much margin he had to stop but it was definetly a long landing. Stabilization criteria change from airline to airline. Can be really low, especially if it is required by the approach.
I used to stay at an Airbnb near Temmabashi station which is close enough to see these magnificent aircraft approach but still couldn’t see the runway into Osaka Itami Airport. Sights like these are awe inspiring, to say the least. That was a beautifully executed approach.
From a passenger's perspective, this would be a terrifying flight. It feels like the pilot is careening over the city with no chance of a safe landing. 😱
I hope the cabin crew informs the travelers beforehand so that no one gets anxious. I can picture screaming breaking out if px didn't know what was happening. They would be waiting for "Brace, brace!" 😵
Absolutely! all those crowded buildings and you madly asking where the heck is the runway and once you see it the plane comes flying 90 degrees across it!
My dad was a private pilot and certified flying instructor. I remember landing at London, Ontario Canada with him in his Tripacer during a pretty strong crosswind. He had to do a side-slip landing. It was pretty exhilarating to watch and experience. Never forget that flight, it was the roughest flight I was ever on. Great memory!
@@priceyA320 🛫📖🛬 Please consider the crab angle on the aircraft and the fact that he is handling a crosswind and that dictates carrying a few extra knots of speed and therefore you may have to be a little long but it wasn't that much. That crew earned their pay. 👍✈️ GOD Bless 📖🛐✈️🐆
That's actually a very common landing procedure with airliners. It did look extreme but cameras and angles do that. All professional pilots have extensive training in crosswind landings.
I’ve been flying for a major airline for 30+ years, and this isn’t any technique. This isn’t a crab technique, slip technique, or anything else. He overshot the runway and drifted it in. The most skilled landing I have ever seen.
I agree with you. Nothing extraordinary about the landing but extraordinary photography skills by whoever took this shot. I’ve had stormy landings all over the world that were incredibly turbulent, and those seemed significantly harder. Even the captain said so after landing!
The best pilots make the most difficult landing look like another day on the job and totally routine... o7, well done captain, well done. Smoother then a black velvet neat. He let the cross wind carry him to the onto the run way and just planted the bird on the center line. I ever meet that pilot drinks are on MY tab.
Incredible landing, especially with the crosswinds. Such skill with the cabin crew, to make such a smooth landing. A real long lens and camera angle makes it look a little different, the runway is over 10,000 ft long. If I remember correctly, there is a highway tunnel about 4,000 ft long running under the airport.
About 1973 was passenger on Turkish Airlines Caravelle landing at Izmire in a cross wind. The cockpit door was open so I could see out the windshield. We were crabbed 45 degrees for the cross wind. At the last moment the pilot pulls the nose up and aligned with the runway. The scary part was only seeing sky out the front. The scariest landing for me are where there are mountains at either or both ends of the runway
Really nice video!! On a separate note, there's probably a million or more people within this video shot, all congregating in their little world, sleeping, eating, working, whatever it is .... there's a lot of people in this world.
You have to give the pilots credit, because I'm sure there are sound abatement issues at the airport. I just have difficulty understanding that this is still allowed in a city like Osaks. I might just have to spend my couple hundred bucks to fly in to there when I'm in Korea. I'm still upset that I didn't get to go in to KaiTek. I went to HK 2 weeks after they closed it.
Hello, I used software to keep it center of the screen. It will move the picture every frame but crop into the picture while it's doing it to keep the plane center
That was great piece of flying there the crab until he straighten out before touching down that be great training video. Until you actually fly a plane you don’t know how tricky it is to land in cross wind.
Thanks, nah just the A350 will be the biggest one, i think there is a 777 as well but not at this time. It was only 2 hours they had this wind and most of it i was climbing
As a Captain for 30 years, that is literally the most impressive landing that I have ever seen.
I don’t disagree but I’m not a pilot, so could you explain why?
Indeed. :::golf-clap::::

Mad respect to this highly-skilled pilot

that will be the other airport
There was some water near the tracks right?
Is the final turn always that tight? Or was this non-standard due to the high winds?
Respect to the pilots to whom this must be normal, but the skill and ability is fantastic, but come on, that camera stability is stunning.
The wind was cross but the pilot was calm.
You could call it a crosswind
@@rfspilot I think you missed the pun here. "Cross" is a British word for upset. Now read it again. (Typo: pun became pin)
@@waqasusmans I know, I'm British,I'm making a joke, so r/whooooosh

When the wind, the pilot, and the camera angle somehow work together for a visual treat!
Kudos to the highly skilled photographer!
I'm curious, where did they take a shoot?
Exactly!!

Almost floating in the crosswinds, beautiful.
The approach and landing were amazing. Respect to the person who filmed it as well. Well done.
Super landing skilled pilot hats off 🔥
that's some very strong crosswind. impressive landing
That was an outstanding piece of flying. Huge respect. 👍👍👍
That is insane! Thanks for the video! We def need to see the A350!
Agreed!!
Joy stick landing? I think this pilot was glad to have a regular 'stearing wheel' to maneuver the big plane into the right spot.
Seen it with props but not big jet airliners. Magnificent piloting skills. Thanks for posting Outstanding camera work.

It looked like his base and final approach were one and the same. Crazy smooth flying.
Amazing … nerve of steel and practice. I held my breath for a minute. Great landing.

Yes it was!
Why don't they fly a direct heading to the runway?

Is a side slip the same as side step?

The angle it's being filmed gives the impression this is something out of the ordinary which really isn't.
Wow respect the pilot doing cross wind. Cool!
Smooth like butter, massive crab on short final. Well done Pilot flying.
Incredible! It's like he came to a complete stop, then just let the wind take him in. Insane! Great filming also.
Thank you I'm currently on a Hong Kong mountain waiting for the clouds to move see community photo tab 😂
Excellent filming!
This was full of illusion 🙌🏼
But in the end pilot makes it smooth ❤️🔥

What a buttery smooth float to the ground

Reminds me of your video of an ANA 787 crosswind landing at this same airport from a while back.
Wow, that was really cool. That pilot is cold as ice.😎
Two times landing and depart from Itami, always magnificent.
That’s a hell of a landing!
Beautiful capture 👍👍
Drifts to a landing no problem. That's a great pilot right there.

This is Itami airport, which is nowadays domestic only. You would end up flying to KIX from Korea.
