This is the dramatic moment a skilled pilot battles powerful crosswinds while landing in Brazil.

Footage shows the aircraft approaching the runway at a sharp angle as strong gusts rocked it side to side at Navegantes International Airport.

The pilot performed a manoeuvre known as ‘crabbing', pointing the nose into the wind to stay on course before straightening the jet just seconds before touchdown on November 6.

Despite the fierce winds, the plane landed safely, with the pilot expertly maintaining control throughout the tense descent.

Crosswind landings like this are common in Santa Catarina, where coastal weather often brings unpredictable and challenging wind conditions.
