Don't watch if you are already nervous when flying....
Jouster:
So most everyone here seems to think that a co-pilot should never be given the chance to land in bad weather? If that is case...please tell me how they wil ever be ready to be the captain? The co-pilot has to make attempts to land in bad weather as well as good. The fact that the pilot let the co take her all the way to the ground before stepping in says a lot in what he thought of the co's piloting I think...only resuming control after that attempt was failed.
Personally, I want my pilot to have landed in that kinda crap before. If the younger co-pilots never get to land in that situation, pretty soon you are gonna have planes flown be those co-pilots...with no one in the cockpit with any experience landing in that situation. That'll be the day I stop flying.

i know what you are saying, but the point is that NO ONE should be landing in those conditions. co-pilots get plenty of experience, but you dont really want them to experience crashing a plane! those sort of conditions you should really only ever 'experience' in a flight sim to get an idea of what not to land in...
patrickl:
Other planes were landing there just fine. The airport wasn't closed. It's more that a landing can go wrong and then you decide to fly through and try again as opposed to trying to slam the plane it into the ground. 35 seconds in the clip really is the point where the landing should have been aborted.
