Amadeus Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 Ladies and Gentlemen, there might just be a bit of turbulence when we land: http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=ddb_1204404185 Happened in Hamburg yesterday - apparently, some of the passengers "didn't feel so well" afterwards. Landed safely a short time later... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Sausages Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 It never looked to be flying straight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerryMcCann Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 I remember seeing something similar as I was arriving at Manchester Airport on the train. Shat me up nicely for my flight home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 bad pilot, he should have put his right hand under carrige on the ground first then the cross wind would have pushed him on to his left, (at least thats what they normaly do) HE did a bloody good job holding onto it though!

Jimcalagon Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 It never looked to be flying straight. Standard approach in crosswinds - fly side on until touchdown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Peters Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 [anorak PPL mode] As others have noted, it's quite normal on a crosswind approach to be crabbing in at 45 degrees - the skill is in getting it straight with the rudder at the exact moment of touchdown. Trouble with THAT is that the secondary effect of rudder is to produce roll (primary effect is yaw), and roll may be what made them abort that landing and go around. Jim may have more knowledge on airline SOP's than me, but I believe a single wheel crosswind touchdown is still taught as an acceptable technique to rookie pilots.

=^..^= Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 That looked well scary - what was the puff of cloud from ? right hand wheel scrubbing speed off ? Or all the passengers shitting themselves ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amadeus Posted March 3, 2008 Author Share Posted March 3, 2008 That looked well scary - what was the puff of cloud from ? right hand wheel scrubbing speed off ? Or all the passengers shitting themselves ? I think the smoke/dust was from when he hit the throttle for go-around. Full power, three Ave Marias and off he went. Official story is that it was caused by wind sheer. The left wing touched the runway and was damaged: http://www.spiegel.de/international/german...,538926,00.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
