FlyBe plane struggles to land at Leeds Bradford Airport
- 8 years ago
It was touch and a go for a few moments as a FlyBe plane arriving into the Leeds Bradford Airport in England was caught in powerful crosswinds.
Video shows the plane approaching the runway at airport - Britain's highest - almost sideways.
Luckily for all involved the pilot was able to keep the aircraft on track, making a safe landing in the high winds.
"Taking off and landing in strong and gusty winds is considered all in a day's work." a Flybe spokesperson told The Telegraph.
"Our pilots are highly trained and have the necessary skills, training and procedures required to assess and make the required operational decisions to conduct a safe flight in such adverse weather conditions."
