Bertie Hah, I was about to post this vid and ask Bertie about it. He crabbed in, then straightening out his upwind wing (not lowered) got caught by the x wind. I've seen numerous vids of jetliners crabbing in. So if he'd sideslipped in with the upwind wing down and HELD it after touch down maybe that is what would have worked? I'm assuming the the GA approach holds for jetliners, like I said, I can't tell if I've ever seen a jetliner sideslip vid. If that's not the way, what is (other than the obvious find a better runway option). Well, if ground clearance isn;t an issue, and it isn't for most, the technique is the same except most guys who slip just do it as they enter the flare, crabbing up to that point. Yea, that's call the "crab and kick" its common with jet jocks and, sadly, becoming the most common way CFI's teach in C-150's today. I'm still a big fan of the slipping method because my background is taildraggers and the crab&kick method doesn't work in taildraggers. -robert, CFII |

If they had been, the A320 would have climbed away vetically. I was inthe area at the time, BTW, and it was blowing about 50 in the gusts. Bertie |

"Bertie the Bunyip" wrote in message ... Doesn't really work all that well with anything, but it's a neccesary evil in some airplanes. High performance fighter jets have to do it and some airliners, especially four engined ones, And most gliders. The issue is ground clearance with those long wings. I was originally a glider pilot and I still have to think ahead and hold my mouth just right before I can slip a power plane all the way down to touchdown. Vaughn |

Why did ATC direct them to a runway with such an excessive crosswind? 2. Why did the Captain accept such a clearance? -- Remove _'s from email address to talk to me. |

Bertie Accuracy from a news report regarding aviation -- no way! Not only did they say it was a 150 MPH crosswind, they also stated that both wings hit the runway. -- Marty Shapiro Silicon Rallye Inc. (remove SPAMNOT to email me) |

... WTF kind of crosswind does it take to cause this? http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=ddb_1204404185 Why did the pilot even start the approach with such high and gusty winds? Also, what is Lufthansa's policy regarding Max Crosswinds? What does the POH say the Max Demonstrated Crosswind capability is? After crabbing for awhile, it looks like he tried to slip. Then when the plane hit the runway, the landing gear made it fly level. The wind caught under the right wing and nearly flipped the plane. I'm glad he flew out of the situation rather than trying to kill the power and stearing out. |

Also, what is Lufthansa's policy regarding Max Crosswinds? It's normal to do so when it's within limits. What does the POH say the Max Demonstrated Crosswind capability is? We don't have POH's. We have an AFM which is effectively the same thing After crabbing for awhile, it looks like he tried to slip. Nope. Then when the plane hit the runway, the landing gear made it fly level. Nope.
