AN unnerving video posted by a pilot shows the difficult conditions faced when battling turbulence — and makes for uncomfortable viewing for nervous flyers.

The footage was filmed by Artur Kielak as he landed in the tricky winds with a camera focused on the fast-moving controls.

It almost looks like he is playing a video game as he reacts quickly to the swaying plane before grinning at his co-pilot.

The Polish Ryanair captain, whose Facebook profile says he studied at the Academy of National Defence, saw his amazing video shared more than 2500 times.

With the video he wrote: “I’m always saying that airline pilot gets his all 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 it’s stability in severe conditions.”

As the plane lands in the strong winds Kielak laughs and smiles following his wrestle with the controls.

His Facebook profile shows he also flies helicopters and takes adventurous trips all around the world — so is no stranger to difficult conditions.

Turbulence is often one of the worst parts about flying — sometimes, it can even be so strong that it causes air planes to stall.

Even the most seasoned flyers get the occasional pang of concern about whether their flight will crash, but according to the experts, that should be the least of your worries.

The most likely cause of serious injury on a plane is far more likely to come from leaving your seat belt unbuckled.

Earlier this month a flight attendant explained why it infuriates cabin crew when passengers ignore advice and unstrap themselves during the flight.
