Destructo Report post Posted April 26, 2012 Yeah, I'm with you. Just watching that video had me almost launch operation Dumbo drop in my shorts! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chipster Report post Posted April 26, 2012 Planes land slightly sideways anyways but what would freak me out is touching down only to have to lift back off and try again. I hate turbulence much more than anything with landing. Just knowing I'm close to solid ground makes me feel better haha Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rix Report post Posted April 26, 2012 I was landing in Barcelona a couple of weeks back with winds at 60mph it was my roughest landing for a long time, not quite as nuts as those in the video but rough nonetheless!! I remember landing in Zurich years ago, 90mph winds!!! We approached twice and missed. Almost identical to the video above, on the 3rd approach I actually saw the runway out of my window, people screaming, kids going nuts and the FEMALE Captain set it down perrrfectly, it was astonishing. I have it on film somewhere I'll try and dig it out. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
StoleIt Report post Posted April 26, 2012 Wind speed isn't the only worry. It's wind speed AND direction. 60 knots right down the runway is easy. 25 knot direct cross is a bitch. Most planes have a max crosswind limitation though. None of the airplanes you fly on can land with a 60 knot crosswind. Usually it will be 20-30.
