Plane lands safely

Even by the standards of "storm-buffeted planes landing without incident", this is astounding: a small jet all but spinning in circles as it comes in, only to plop perfectly onto its wheels at the last moment. According to the video, there were 110 km/h (68 mph) crosswinds.

Super Pilotenleistung bei Windgeschwindigkeiten mit Böen bis 110 km/h. Die Eurowings Dash8 Q400 D-ABQD Flug EW9141 aus Sylt landete bei Extrembedingungen ohne Durchstarten zu müssen.

I don't speak German but I have a hunch that I know what "Super Pilotenleistung" means.
