A terrifying experience?!?!? A terrifying experience is to be told to fly in weather like this. See, no one is questioning their skills. I believe the only thing in question now is the Airport Manager's Sanity! Everyone knew the forecast for today! I am wondering how come that exactly the Airports missed it, especially if they are one of the places which update it regularly and AIRPORTS have their own meteorologist, who work at the Airport!

Kudos to all the engineers and test crews that design and test past the limits to make sure these aircraft are up to this. Kudos to the managers that get out of the way and let them do their thing. As an aside, if the crosswinds are out of limits, your pilot should not be trying this at home. Do not give anyone grief for landing somewhere else or holding for hours. PS - the lives were saved a long time ago by other people who figured out what the limits are.

I was in one of these TAPportugal flight from Lisboa to Manchester. Normally an Embraer E90 or E195 flies between the two airports. But the scheduled for the morning flight(TP1312) was cancelled due to the weather and an airbus 321 was run in the afternoon flight(TP1310). The plane landed at 16:00 hrs at Manchester, well ahead of the scheduled landing time of 16:30 but in one go, one attempt. Not a smooth one, but a safe one. Well done to crown the cockpit and cabin.
