Only 4 is slightly incorrect; it should read
4)The plane managed to land despite the terrible weather conditions.

CORRECT:
"The plane managed to land even though the weather conditions were terrible."
"The plane managed to land even though there were terrible weather conditions ."
"The plane managed to land regardless of the terrible weather conditions."
