In the video, the plane can been seen descending and preparing for a landing.
During the aircraft's descent, the plane rocked from side to side.
As the plane attempted to land, the pilot was forced to pull up quickly because of the large gusts of wind that caused it to sway violently back and forth.
The pilot, who has been hailed a hero, reascended and flew the plane back into the holding pattern in preparation for the second landing.
During the second attempt to land, the plane once again swayed back and forth on its way down, but this time the pilot was able to make a safe landing.
The video has garnered nearly 300,000 views since it was posted to YouTube on October 4.
