Video has captured the moment a passenger aircraft nose-down lands at Madeira Airport in Portugal amid strong winds.

Specifically, in the video, the TAP Air Portugal Airbus can be seen approaching Madeira Airport in the Atlantic coming from Porto Santo. But while everything seems to be going smoothly, the aircraft starts to sway from side to side as the pilot tries to balance it before landing.

Watch the video:

The aircraft then lands with the nose and then bounces shortly afterwards.

According to the Daily Mail, the video was posted on the Madeira Airport Spooting YouTube channel, garnering hundreds of comments. “This was definitely the most difficult landing at Madeira Airport,” some wrote.
