- Flight LX 64 from Zurich to Miami / July 31 2015
HB-JHE
After a 9 hour 45 minute flight from Zurich Switzerland, Miami welcomed us with a front of severe thunderstorms, hail and high wind gusts, prompting Miami International Airport to close for more than 2 hours. Many flights were diverted to Tampa or Orlando that afternoon - we were lucky given the circumstances and just vectored around Florida towards the Florida Keys, Cuba and than upwards the Florida Gulf Coast before final vectors for a landing on RWY26R. Look at the amazing waterspray caused by the reversers, giving in impression about the amount of water on the runway.
Total airborne time was 10 hours and 50 minutes and then another hour of hold and taxi on the ground until we reached the gate.
Kudos to the pilots really - manual landing / autopilot disconnect sound at 21:48, and then nicely correcting a strong windgust / nose-up pitch at 22:34 - great flight and amazing landing - Auta a dopravní prostředky

They went to great lengths to avoid flying directly into the storm. They first flew past Miami on the East Coast all the way to the West Coast (Notice Marco Island on the West Coast of Florida where I live). Then flew back to land in Miami. This is not their normal route, but this way they avoided having to fly directly through the storm into Miami. Great job.
Landed safely in Miami, now the real danger begins.

Sooooo True.....
What's wrong with Miami?

Авиа рейс на Майами очень красивый и завораживающий,красота неимоверная,да и съемка видео прфессиональная.Оператор молодец и умница, доставил мне большое удовольствие,спасибо!!!
Great video! I see these clouds everyday from Fort Lauderdale, this pilot flawlessly landed this enormous aircraft during challenging conditions. Kudos! 👏
Man has come a long way since the cave, when you think about all the achievements man has made it's pretty incredible.
I will be flying on an A330 next May 2018 my first time. I think the A330 is a unsung hero . Lovely plane.
The crew seemed to do a good job of diverting from the worst of it. Nice video, it is cool to see the water streaking across the window pane, its direction clearly showing the angle of attack, significantly higher than the mild deck angle throughout the descent through the rain.
AWESOME cloud formations...BIG LIKE!
It's been a while since I've flown so watching this from start to finish was strangely enjoyable. Well done to the pilots and crew for a safe journey.
Love seeing the reverse thrust! The rain makes it so easy to spot!
Every thing about this flight was so smooth that made it a great journey. The sound of the engine, the flight , the voice of the hostess and the incredibly smooth and perfect landing 👌
Gorgeous. And pretty smooth for what it could have been with that sort of weather. I´ve been in planes chopping quite a bit while crossing such type of clouds.

Sometimes i just watch this videos to see other parts of the world. Really Beautiful.
Wow, this is simply magnificent structure showcased by these mature cumulus congestus that are seemingly advancing towards cumulonimbi status! The individual deep convective towers are absolutely mesmerizing to look at from this perspective, as well, leaving much to be admired. Absolutely fantastic footage shown here, and many thanks for sharing!
Excellent video! The waterspray caused by the reversers was absolutely delightful to watch. Thank you for sharing! 🙂
Never forget our chocolates when you leave Switzerland.
True ☺🇧🇷✈
lol. Really? They're that good??
@@keeyonass5127 sure are
Swiss chocolate is good also from the rest of Europe
I rarely watch in flight videos all the way through, but the amazing cloud formations kept me glued.
im the same way like a dog hanging its head out the window im stuck looking outside more interesting
I wish I wasn't scared of flying. It's been over a decade since I was last on a flight. We flew through a storm. I froze stiff. I couldn't move any part of my body. Couldn't speak. Scary. That's when I really understood the meaning of that phrase 'scared stiff'.
Me also scar of plane
Wow, one of the best flight vids i`ve ever seen!!! Breathtaking scenery - a flight trough cumulus clouds... Very impressive! Something great does not it every day... Like the Airbus 330... and love this Video ;-) THANK YOU FOR SHARING WITH US! Best regards from Germany, Mister X.

Who the hell would WANT to leave Switzerland????? I've been there twice. It is absolutely magnificent.
Very impressive! I love the cloud patterns & forms mid-flight. Thank you for sharing your travel !
sandy gallin?
Hi sandy
It’s always amazing that these huge things can fly
Awesome video !! Captured those clouds beautifully
Nice flight and thanks for holding the recorder steady. Those were typical summer thundershowers offshore.
What is amazing to me is the gorgeous landscape of Switzerland...every inch crops, forests, and villages in just the right amount. I have lived in Florida with the thunderstorms..not fun!
Thank you for filming this.
Ur adopted
Despite thunder storms the flight looks very smooth..hardly any bumps during flight and while landing.. credit to Airbus for designing such a quality aircraft
Nice storm footage, hope weather got better for your holiday.
A beautiful smooth landing amid thunderstorm showing skill of pilot.
Omg the reverse thrust was awesome
Wow! I think I got jet lag just watching this! Stunningly beautiful video! Those clouds and all! What quality! Awesome!!!!!! Thank you!!!!!!
What an outstanding video. The video tells a story. They had to circle the entire lower peninsula and then come back to Atlantic once again to make this approach! Swiss cities are so huge and spread out. Very sweet views all over.
Dayananda Srikantaiah ummmm that was Miami...
In 1966, I was on a 707 returning home after 3 years in Germany. We flew into a 'massive thunderstorm', and believe me, there's nothing massive about this. In addition to biblical rain and lightning bolts, the aircraft felt like a carnival tilt-a-whirl.
Oh I love that ride. But I'd compare what you went through to the revolver or ferris-Whirl. That ride pulled some serious Gs. You just had to relax and go with the flow, because if you didn't, you'd lose breakfast and lunch. Not fun! It really felt like you were in severe air turbulence, and the last spinning nose-dive you take on the Ferris-Whirl was weigh too much. I'll never do that again. I also won't ride the Octipus. I actually had to ride the Tilt-A-Whirl two times to overcome the severe headache and the scare I got on the Octipus. I almost came out of that ride, and then, my twin sister, Maggie, almost fell from it. My Uncle Kenny caught her hanging on for dear life on the bar over his seat! I really hope they've closed that ride for good, because too many people got killed from falling off that ride.
I think I rode the 'revolver' in B'haven. You're held in by centrifugal force, and it tilts over on its side?

Can the flight attendant be anymore thrilled in her announcement welcoming passengers to Miami. Great video
...Awesome Views of the Clouds and Thunder Heads.!
Nice to have a look on hometown with such a nice view!! Thank you!
I've landed in Miami in this kind of weather. Bumpy and scary. Good video. Thanks for posting.
Massive thunderstorms = welcome to Miami on any given day of the year 😉
Beautiful. Hope you enjoyed our regular afternoon thunderstorms here in South Florida!
Nice job. Thanks for documenting your trip for us to enjoy.
2:07 Music to my ears... and 21:47 Autopilot disconnect Calvary charge
You have sum very good ears
2:07 - That is called "derated" thrust. Pilot moves AutoThrust levers from TOGA detent to DCLB Derated Climb. 21:47 - Never knew the AP disconnect sound was called a Cavalry* charge [Cavalry = horse mounted army. Not Calvary - that's where the name of rock (outside the west gates of Jerusalem) on which they erected the cross of Christ].
The weather at MIA can be hell especially in Summer afternoons. Landed there many times at all seasons. Often in high turbulence!
awesome how smooth the pilots got you around this impressive coulds...
What a great video, and with lovely views. I really enjoyed watching this, thank you.
Great video and thank you for Not adding irrelevant background music!!
Excelente maniobras para evitar los cumuluslimbos. Muy buenos pilotos y excelente avión. Gracias por el vídeo
fantastic.
also good camera work, so smooth and motionless!
Keep em coming

YEEEEEEEEEHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!
that's what i call a landing!! great job by the pilots!!
Looking like normal flights in the moment God bless all captain they do great 👍 jobs all time 🙏
Eons ago , in 1999, I was flying back home from a European vacation Rome-Miami on an Alitalia B747 and after that long flight we had to hold over the Atlantic east of MIA for an hour due to severe thunderstorms. I’m all for squeezing a couple more hours out of a great vacation but hey !
I experienced typhoon into Hong Kong as that place is famous for that.
Great video. As a fellow aviation videographer I salute you.
'wow' so beautiful state and very nice recorded....million thanks..........please some more
The middle cloud formation looks like a giraffe head and neck at 12:56, lol. Amazing upload, cheers!!
Ohh you saw that too? There was a dinosaur just a bit earlier too, I thought ;0

I flew though a storm over the Alps in Europe. Not only were we dropping hundreds of feet in air pockets but one of the engines packed up leaving the Brittania on three engines.1964 if I remember rightly.
Great take off and super impressive cloud formations! Love the vid!
Wonderful video. Beautiful scenery and amazing cloud formations. Well done and thank you.
Amazing....and it all keeps working smoothly while flying through a shower.....
All that activity down below....built by human hands...Mankind sure is a damn clever species....
Yep, and God is the Architect and Brains behind it all!
Amazing what we can accomplish if we put our hearts, minds and souls into it!
Nice video. I recently flew for the first time in about 40 years. I felt like I was onboard the aircraft with you.
It is always neat to see the plane finally break the grip of the the ground and ascend into the sky
I am glad that you made it through it! These can be very bad storms, seriously, especially around Miami. Sometimes, Planes may land and take-off again because the end of the landing strip is obscured by a rainstorm, in which case, your plane will take off again, and spend 20 minutes circling Miami Airport for a place to land. NO KIDDING! That is what happened to me!
Awesome camera-work!
It was a very along approach (all the way to the Florida keys) to avoid the bad weather. Safety first!! Job well done!!
Excellent video; thanks for sharing. Those clouds are beautiful.
Wonderful Video 👍 Definitely taking the alternative approach.
Wonderful vídeo thank you soo much
why this kind of flat video ?
I love the reverse thrust.
Masterful job dodging all of those thunderheads.
Wow....All Credit to Cameraman, Thank you uploading....
I know people are pretty critical of Airbus due to their use of composites and not being American-made, and that is all warranted. But from this video alone, that looked like a damned good climb. Since aerodynamic drag and wing tip vortices have given rise to the winglets, I question the much smaller winglets on this jet. Everything else being equal, this airliner does rattle a lot but it's impossible to tell whether it is the plane itself or a rough runway surface. Great video! I enjoyed watching and the audio is especially "clean." My favorite plane sounds here are the takeoff "buzz saw" and the engine sounds as the pilots flare the aircraft for landing. They are very quiet but you can tell there is a lot going on!
Winglets are sized after much wind tunnel testing.
***** Laymen... pfffft.LMAO
***** I have witnessed this effect many many times and it was not restricted to Airbus. It has happened flying in Boeing, MD, Lockheed, etc.
Oh Yeah. That takeoff, as I now realize it, was fantastic. I love that sound.
***** Oh yes but that was pilot error (_" first officer’s unnecessary and excessive rudder pedal inputs"_). Any airplane can be downed by pilot error.
I got here only to see the massive thunderstorms but nothing thanks.
It never ceases to amaze me that we mere humans, we naked apes, can build, operate and travel within vehicles at the top of the atmosphere at nearly the speed of sound --- and think nothing of it. Is there anything we can't do? Doubt it!
thank you very much for this video. it's very amazing scenery
At some stage CZcams should consider working with Police, to arrest all those posting false information with an aim of attracting viewership. #Its irritating
what false information?
They did a great job you don't want to fly in and out of those type of storm clouds were you possibly find hail lighting and turbulence.....
Great video! I especially liked the reverse thrust mist after the landing.
A-M-A-Z-I-N-G video! Thank you for sharing this!
Awesome ocean views.
In the summer in Florida it storms everyday for half an hour then quits.
This is common for the southern U.S. in the summer. Thunderstorms flash up in the early afternoon and dissipate after a few hours. They certainly look imposing, but it's generally easy to fly around them, and pilots do. I am an anxious flyer and am much more concerned about flying through a big storm front that cannot be avoided. Those tend to be more common in the spring here, moving in from the north and west and encountering Gulf moisture in the midwest.
I loved every second of this video! Thank you
I bet the cargo hold was full of Lindts and Toblerones.
Nice sound on takeoff! The landing was epic, well done!
Wow! Excellent video!!! Thanks for sharing!
Very nice! If you listen closely @21:48 you can hear the AP disconnect.
Yes indeed! It's very faint but most definitely. You have great hearing; this could be a hearing test.
Where is thunderstorm?
I love the sound of these engines !
If you notice the 2 jets that come into view at 23:28, they are parked at the George T. Baker Aviation Technical College. The one on the left is an MD-80 donated to the school by American Airlines.
Parfaite vidéo merci
Only travelled in A330s once and that’s when virgin Atlantic told me you won’t be flying on A340s, we have a brand new A330. Clearly it wasn’t brand new!
Pretty neat looking once the storms appeared! That is one city in Florida I have never been to, but will one day. Great video!
I used to live in Florida and would sometimes fly back and forth. I always made sure to book flights arriving either early in the morning or late at night when there was less of a chance of encountering delays due to the almost daily thunderstorms.
Reverse thrust clearly visible. Cool.
Pilots are amazing at flying these x
Yes right very beautiful I like that too 😗😗❤
Simply fantastic. Thank you.
Beautiful video! Thanks.
Flying still amazes me. Scary, but 2 hrs in the air is safer than 20 hrs on the highway.
I love how the thunder clouds looks like and kinda scary too. I never flown into a thunder storm. I only flown a good weather like sunny, cloudy. Sometimes only little rainy. And in a night time and day time

Took same flight in November. Cloud ceiling was so high that we would fly in clouds at 39000 for hours at a time. Smooth flight though. Very little turbulence. My fav airline :)
Thx for the vid.
Very enjoyable! thanks :)
It's so ironic that the Sunshine state is also the lightning capital of the U.S.!
it's also the tornado capital of usa. just don't have the BIG ones :) many little ones
