Lufthansa A340-600 D-AIHP Battles Storm on Arrival Into Chicago O'Hare

High level approach into a stormy Chicago O'Hare on statistically the safest commercial aircraft of all time, the A340-600. Many aircraft were diverted this evening due to weather, not this A340-600.

Only 1 intermediary flaps settings was used on this approach between cruise configuration and landing configuration. Likely an ex-military pilot or Lufthansa company policy: regardless, highly efficient approach strategy and more difficult to execute than a typical F0 F1 F2 F3 FFull approach.

Right wheel touched down first and touched down hard on a night where wind gusts and thunderstorms plagued the area but nevertheless, got 'er down. Spoke to the pilots after the flight and there was never a doubt, of course.
