This is the cockpit view from a Fokker 100 landing at La Havana runway 06 in a heavy thunderstorm with reduced visibility.
At the start of the video the camera pans down to the pilot’s primary flight display and you can see the aircraft, its track and the runway designated as well as the paint of the weather ahead.
In aviation red and orange on a weather display are no-go zones.
With this thunderstorm would be severe down drafts called Microbursts.
