SPOTLIGHT: CROSS WIND LANDINGS. GET INVOLVED ✍️

Not quite the heaviest we’ve seen, but a good example of what Pilots are up against when landing in Cross Winds.
Pilots can prepare all they want for a Cross Wind approach, but sometimes Mother Nature throws a curveball at the last moment.
The American Jet, albeit getting hammered by the winds (check the wings), still manages a very clean touchdown with, as normal, the ‘facing’ (left) side touching first to compensate for the winds. Nicely controlled flare, runs it with a little ‘float’ and right on the Keys.
In the case of the Egypt Air 777, it looks like they’ve come-in a little fast 🤷🏼‍♂️ even a few knots can make all the difference. The Sink Rate looks pretty steep and the Flare seems a little late? Look at where they slam this one down: well before the TDZ.
It’s all fully in control, just always an interesting observation to see how Pilots deal with the conditions.
I’m NOT a Pilot, these are just my own observations. So as always, your thoughts are welcome 👍🏻

You can't beat a couple of 5-Door Triples; you got it, Big Jet, well done, Jerry, Gilly!

[@JacksAviationUK]

Those American triples man, they slam the reversers on and the raw is just insane

Nice surprise 😊

Wow! Bumpy landing! ✈️

[@nikolauswolff5791]

I had a few bumpy landings on board of a 77W. It's a real good natured aircraft. Excuses almost everything. Even if it's a rough touchdown. Mighty solid landing gear.

The first one was ok, but the second was crazy

[@KC-RallyPlanes]

I know they aren’t the biggest plane out there, but isn’t the 777-300 a massive plane when you look at from this point of view.
