That was a very nice approach, fun to watch. Would have loved to be in the cockpit and watch the pilot deal with it. Fortunately for him, winds calmed down a bit over the runway, except for a little surprise gust at 0:39.
I'd say that was an unacceptable flight path deviation and uncontrolled changes from normal steady state flight conditions and all below 1,000'. I fly 767s. That'd been a required go-around for us if we looked like tht. To each his own but I'd say this, given those changes on short final you either ignored a serious condition and pressed on with a compromised landing or you just weren't fighting it very well. Either way, not good. Talk to the folks on AMR 1420 about trying to force a landing.

At 0:16 it was awesome to see how this king air "jumped" in the wind!!! Great video 5*
That flight crew earned their salary that day for sure. Im assuming it went on toilet roll!!!
Superb video, thanks for sharing it.
I love watching skilled pilots in action :)
And, at the end, a nice touchdown!!!!
What a pilot!! :D
OMG:. windshear ahead.. caution.. great video
Insane!
Whaaaow nice!
@etiennedauphin The reason for the calm winds right over the runway is because of a little thing called ground effect.
damn! for a second i thought that was an RC plane.
Fuck...a strong wind,this pilot is brave :) Nice one bro
UP,UP,DOWN,UP,LEFT,LEFT,RIGHT,DOWN,RIGHT,LEFT,UP,DOWN,DOWN,RIGHT!!!!!!!
Pilot had to work for that one.
What is the registration of this kingair? i would love to see some still pictures of it.
very scary video
Does anybody knows about the smell inside the plane thereafter ??

shouldn't he be landing on one of the other 2 runways with this much crosswind?
