Default A380 hard landing at Oshkosh - video

Safety first, and in a crosswind situation, it's safest to "plant" the
plane. Even more so if you have a limited runway in front of you.

Those two super pilots who comment have seen an A380 for the first time,
yet they've become instant experts. Just cheap Airbus bashing.


On the crosswind, all aviation videos (other than those taken standing
on the centre line) appear to show massive drift angles.

What sort of crosswind would require 10 deg of crab on an a/c of this
size ?
