1. Amazing landing - Almost looked like a jump jet landing on the spot!
2. Bloody well done. The pilot deserves a medal. I still wouldn't have liked to be a passenger though. Can't have been too comfortable.
3. he's pro.
4. You could disuss the crosswinds and the knots but.. this airport is famous for its crosswinds so for me it looks like a construction mistake of the airport...
5. I flew into LBA last year. Freakin' awesome! Twice as good as PIK's crosswinds and without the windshear lol!!!
6. u pussy! 8 knot straight across childs play and the norm for us at leeds bradford!
7. you are very welcome
8. thanks for your unsolicited suggestion.

10. nice
11. This is the highest airport in England and subject to vicious crosswinds on a regular basis. My daughter's flight landed there in May and said it was terrifying, she thought they were going to crash. The pilot aborted the landing once and said that if he had to do it a second time they would have to divert to another airport.
12. Lol yeah at least it looks like that... :O
13. Chuck Norris can do that blindfolded with one hand on the yoke and the other eating.
14. Fricken hell! I'm not gonna lie that even had me like glued to my screen!!!
15. Flybe!!!
16. Beautiful I bet it was even smoother than a normal landing ;)
17. It's actually not a side-slip. That would be used to reduced altitude. What the pilot was doing is called "crabbing into the wind" what that allows is for your path to remain straight but your nose will be any number of degrees off the path. Depending on how strong the wind is will depend how much of a correction is needed.
18. Erm actually it wasn't....The plane being in that position was intentional in order to fight the wind speed... It's called a 'Side-Slip' manouvere. It's also used to reduce speed if Hydraulics fail
19. Impressive.
20. I Live IN Leeds :o
21. Hello...; I had a flight like that to Leeds from Brussels airport. We had a touch and go and missed the landing. Then the 2nd one was the one, but my feelings inside the plane was like what I see here. Everybody was crying when we stopped and they closed the Leeds Bradford Airport after us. Do you know when this has been taken ?
22. thumbs up if your the 640,492 viewer!!!!!!!
