That was one hefty gust the ATR got at the start, ground effect + gust = 🥶 that looked quite crazy!

Great video. lesaon for me as a pilot of a business jet. "Do the cross controlling till end to maintain center line and then terminate to ground without flare" Its going to be a positive touch down but much easier to maintain dorection due to traction from ground.

Yeah that's how I was taught to land in a crosswind.

That Aer Lingus ATR pilot demonstrated poor crosswind landing technique. He should have aileron into the wind and in this case left aileron to make the left main land first. Notice how the EasyJet a320 did so and was able to land safely.
@unfound23Ай бұрын
To be fair the easyjet pilot got what nearly a 5 degree bank angle when he tried to compensate. Agreed first gear to touch down is the one facing wind direction. But I wouldnt have risked a wing strike like him with this maneuver.
@aburke806Ай бұрын
You can clearly see the left aileron was held almost fully into the wind (left aileron spoiler almost fully raised)
@101jtagАй бұрын
On takeoff with strong crosswind from the left pushing the tail right, hence nose left, and requiring right rudder... interesting. Then upon liftoff a quick left dab to set the crab angle.

The waves are exaggerated by the telephoto lens of the camera, it happens when they apply too much zoom. The runway is wavy, but not that much.

You are looking at many kilometres of runway. A small undulation over that distance will look large when it's all compressed in 1 frame

@jannesm-sp7773Ай бұрын
Hi, how the heck did the A320 correct towards centerline with a bearing right of runway heading? Is it just because auf the bank angle and a "sliding" effect 0:56 ? That was no crabbing with the nose into the wind
@dylanrieckerАй бұрын
If i'm understanding what you're asking after you get down to the runway you don't want to land sideways. So what you do is use the rudder to align the nose with the runway and use the ailerons to bank left or right to keep the plane in the center while using rudder to keep the plane's nose straight Edit: you'll also see sense the nose is no longer pointing into the wind the left wing is going to be lower to keep the bank to the left so the wind doesn't push it off the runway. Because of this you will land with one of the back wheels first instead of both like normal then after that first one touches you let off the bank and let the other wheel touch

Okay, never been to Birmingham so I don't really know, but I see a lot of these vids from there, and if the winds are that bad they seriously need a crosswind runway. That being said, these pilots really need to learn to hold their crosswind correction. In the Caribbean you get pretty stiff corsswings a lot too and I never see this level of go arounds.
@bhxairspot6830Ай бұрын
I haven't been to Caribbean airports but the terrain around BHX tends to create turbulence and gusts, so not just a strong wind.
@jhmcd2Ай бұрын
@bhxairspot6830 Same thing in the Caribbean, especially when you have thunderstorms blow up. Another of the airports there are located next to the beach too, so by after noon on a hot day, gust of over 30kt aren't uncommon.
