A Qantas pilot has received a lot of praise for safe landing of a passenger plane during cyclonic winds.
The empty Qantaslink aircraft traveled from custody in Tamworth to arrive in Brisbane in the midst of gloomy skies on Saturday for the flights that resume on Sunday morning.
Twelve hours after Tropical Cyclone, Alfred was lowered to a tropical low point and crossed the eastern coastline, the dashboard struggled eight turboprop Qantaslink plane against strong wind to touch.
The nose of the plane only fell a few moments before the wheels hit the runway, only for a new blow to push his right wing higher than his left.
Finally, all three wheels touch the runway.
At that time there were no passengers on board.

Since then, the video has also attracted 110,000 views and many reactions that praise the pilot.
