Oh my god!! I hope the pilot of my next flight will be as good as you are
Alongside the video, Mr Kielak wrote: "I'm always saying that airline pilot gets his salary for one landing per month. This is the day I earned mine.
"Maximum crosswind limit steady, gust plus steady and gust in one. FULL FORCE column deflections was required. I LOVE Boeing 737 for its stability in severe conditions."
The Boeing 737 is often used by low budget airlines such as Ryanair, especially for shorter-distance flights.
People on Facebook were impressed by his skill, commenting on how he managed to keep things under control
