So Bertie, will this pilot, "Oliver A.", generally be seen in the pilot
community as having screwed up?

CNN is reporting that she is onlly 24 years old. Maybe she doesn't
have a lot of experience in cross wind landings??

Of course not, Oliver A. (39) was captain on that flight and Maxi J. (24
and female) was FO

Maxi J. - This just gets better and better!
And the "experienced" 36-year-old captain gives her her "first landing" in
the middle of a cyclone - saving the day just as the winglet gets scraped
off! I thought it was cute when Karen Black flew the 747, but those
screenwriters wouldn't have dreamed of this . . .

Well, they gotta learn somehow! I was not a million miles from there
around the same time with a neophyte FO and I let him land it. The x-
wind componenet wasn't so much and I briefed him at length on method
during the approach, but I don't think I'd have let him land with that
much x-wind.

BTW, these things are able to be slipped in a crosswind.

What kind of bank angle do you need to have before you start worrying
about striking a pod in one of these? Isn't the 73 a significant
number less?

Depends on the airplane, obviously, but you have enough on most airplanes
bar the old four engined ones and the MD80 series to slip enough st the
demonstrated limit to have plenty of room. I've landed 737s in 30 knots (
their demonstrated limit) and had room. Our airline had a tip strike very
like that in significantly less wind, though. Let's just say it wasnt a
well flown landing...
