UK incident: Pilots made crosswind landing, getting praise

In the UK on Wednesday, a plane landed in extremely dangerous conditions amid bad weather. Before this, the pilots struggled to get the plane to land. A video of this has surfaced. In this, the Aurigne ATR72-600 plane can be seen staggering in the sky amidst strong winds. Later, the pilots skewed the plane and landed at Bristol Airport.
When the plane was trying to land at Bristol Airport, it started to wobble due to rain and strong winds. Due to this, the pilots had to face difficulties in landing. The plane was unable to stabilize even after reaching the runway. But the pilots got the plane landed after a few seconds with their technology.
It is being told that due to storms, rain and strong wind in the UK, there was an intimidating situation at the airport. When the plane was landing, the wind was blowing at a speed of 44 kilometers per hour. The Meteorological Department also issued an alert. A yellow rain alert was issued for southern Scotland from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and in Northern Ireland from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. It has happened before.
Strong winds that blow perpendicular to the direction of the plane's flight are called crosswinds. These winds can cause the plane to deviate from the runway at the time of landing, which leads to a major accident. Generally, aircraft are not landed in such situations, landing is made only in case of emergency or low fuel.
Let us tell you that in February this year, a similar heart-wrenching video of London went viral. In this, the wheels of the plane touched the ground twice and it started flying again. At the end of the video, it can be seen that the plane had completely touched the ground, due to which the plane could have overturned, but the pilot showed wisdom and flew the plane up, which saved lives.
