A pilot was forced to abort the landing after approaching the runway sideways and touching down for a split second
This pilot was caught on camera attempting to land his plane in strong winds as storm Barney battered the UK.
He was forced to abort the landing after approaching the runway sideways and touching down for a split second before taking off again and performing a go around procedure.
In the footage the CityJet pilot is trying to land at Cork Airport in Ireland yesterday.
He struggles to keep the plane level as it is hit with strong gusts and crosswinds.
The plane can be seen sideways as it touches down briefly, before the pilot pulls up and aborts the landing.
The passengers had boarded the flight at London City Airport and moments later the pilot attempted the landing again and brought it down safely a few minutes later.
