Guardian highlight one the comments regarding storms as a final test of pilot skills: “They’ve gone through all of these scenarios in the simulator. British Airways trains their pilots hard and they try their best to simulate these conditions.”

However, according to him, whatever the conditions in the simulation are, of course clean and stable, even the pilot seems to be able to do it while enjoying a cup of coffee with you.

“In the cockpit it was very intense. You have the non-flying pilot read out all the parameters, altitude, speed, all that sort of thing. You have a pilot trying to control the plane, manipulating the throttle, being blown by the wind,” he commented.

“When the winds are really strong, you literally fly sideways… A lot of props should be given to these pilots and everyone else who also works in this industry.”
