Thanks for the replies, good to hear what people think.

@flyinggoggles - I'm somewhere between a nervous passenger and someone that has no fears at all, but watching this footage concerns me.

Ok, he's not holding all the time but he is faffing about with it at the start and that seems a bit risky in such conditions.

@paxboy The youtube description is: "Cockpit view from Mexicana on an ILS approach to runway 06 in La Havana, heavy thunderstorm falling over the airport, air traffic controller couldn't see the aircraft until they landed."

I'm just not sure what the point of such a video is. Great to watch if, like me, you've never been in a cockpit, but shouldn't airlines make official videos as part of a PR stunt or similar rather than allow pilots to do stuff like this ?
