    A perfect demonstration of how a bit of moving air can affect a 70-odd ton aircraft, and how to overcome its affects. Nice work, captain.
  • I'm an Airbus captain and I still enjoyed that landing, especially when you disarmed autothrust, we almost never do that in the US. What beautiful scenery to fly in and out of.
  • @IO-zz2xy
    That was an incredibly smooth landing considering that wind. Airbus definitely makes things easy for pilots in non standard approach and landing. No fiddling and faffing with cockpit systems, just the quiet relaxing approach and landing. Regards from South Africa

    Neat to watch the confidence not overflying with massive inputs and overcorrections. Definitely made it look way easier than it was.

    Very impressing! Really cool to see the AP and the PF getting busy holding the A319 on the ILS. Great job, I´d have loved to be on this flight!
  • @stuartf2946
    Excellent landing Captain. Cool, calm and collected.
  • @adennis200
    Uffff, wow. I mean especially from this perspective, you can actually see how gusty it is. And to still perform such a great landing or even to land at all, is astonishing
  • @rishizm
    An absolutely perfect execution sir, loved the video and can clearly see how aggressive the winds were as the A/P struggled to maintain wings levelled..fantabulous job, keep these videos coming !🔥👍🏻
  • @SteveSalisbury
    Incredible. Good job holding your nerve on short final. All of a sudden bumpy and unpredicatble but got it back on centerline for a smooth touchdown. Any more than that, I reckon you'd have quite rightly punched out. Nice work sir.
  • @mchurch3905
    Still comes down to stick & rudder fundamentals. Nice job Captain!
  • @RS-pq5mo
    What a great approach and landing !!
  • @Michael-oy3pz
    Beautiful flight, completely in control and precise. ✈️🇦🇺
  • @haricg2026
    Congrats Captain ! Many Happy Landings !!!
  • @TheWoodFly
    Not bad. Nice it tells you when to pull the power back. You earned your paycheck today. Glad you had the skills to meet the demand
  • @gulfaviation
