Even the most seasoned of airplane passengers have that tiny spark of fear in the back of their heads every time they go flying. It is normal to feel fear out of something that doesn’t come naturally to human, flying being one of them. We are accustomed to having both our feet safely on the ground.

Despite people’s fears of flying, air travel is statistically the safest mode of transportation in the world. The only thing that makes flying dangerous isn’t the takeoff or the flying itself - it is the landing procedure. The increasing proximity of the ground towards the aircraft, as well as the wild crosswinds that are known to cause trouble on some airports, are the main culprits in most crash landings.

Then, there are the technical difficulties that can happen in the blink of an eye and the only thing standing between the passengers on the aircraft and certain death in the pilot’s experience and calm demeanor while trying to land the flying can!

When this plane's front wheel dangerously malfunctions, the pilot is forced to perform an emergency landing. At first, the plane’s propellers stop working just above the ground, but the pilot restarts the engine, and they start turning. But just as they try to lower the front of the plane on the strip, the front landing wheel collapses, forcing the plane to come to a halt using the propellers. Luckily it's a small plane, and everyone was OK!

Landing a plane is a standout amongst the most basic periods of a flight, and that is the reason it's the second thing pilots learn during their preparation after first flight controls and recuperation procedures. There is no such thing as "flawless" landing, yet a decent sheltered dock is something we are utilized to see in the more significant part of the cases. In any case, a few people feel that it's in any event 99% good fortune.

Pilots always have a plan B in mind if the intended approach is not safe or if the airport closes because of high winds. Updates on wind and weather conditions are communicated to crew throughout a journey to help with decision making. This video shows us how much it takes to be a pilot and the react quickly in these kinds of situations! Amazing!
