GreyKnight Posted March 3, 2008 Report Share Posted March 3, 2008 Here's another 'landing' that occurred due to some strong winds here in Central Europe over the weekend... http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=ddb_1204404185 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blairgowrie Posted March 3, 2008 Report Share Posted March 3, 2008 I saw that on TV this morning. Cross winds were gusting to 250 km per hour! He made the landing on the go around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He made the landing on the go around. 250 km an hour does sound kind of high. I saw someone posted on the Zoo it was about 85km per hour which is still bloody windy.

Rattler Posted March 3, 2008 Report Share Posted March 3, 2008 Here's another 'landing' that occurred due to some strong winds here in Central Europe over the weekend... I congratulate the pilot on saving the plane, but at the same time, it scares me that the pilot even tried it. To risk 200 people like that is the epitome of foolishness. Go around, divert, and bus the people over. There's no excuse for a landing like that. He's only a 'hero' because no one died. He be vilified as a fool if it crashed. Sorry, but that kind of stuff just plain scares the crap out of me...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blairgowrie Posted March 3, 2008 Report Share Posted March 3, 2008 Agree Rattler. They were away over the permissible limits and should not have tried the landing. I am sure there will be a lot more to be heard on this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBloke Posted March 3, 2008 Report Share Posted March 3, 2008 We've been having 60+ mph speeds (approx 100k) around here the last few days and that scary enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1. DDz Quorum Painless Posted March 4, 2008 1. DDz Quorum Report Share Posted March 4, 2008 ~S~ Chaps, maybe you are right and he was being foolish. Only thing that got me thinking was the fact that he attempted the same runway at the same airport and made it stick minutes later. That plus the obvious fact that if the plane piles in, he dies to ? Guess we won't know until all the facts come out. I wonder just how often the findings from subsequent inquires about such events are kept from, or "softened" for, the air travelling public Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blairgowrie Posted March 4, 2008 Report Share Posted March 4, 2008 Most enquiries I am familiar with do not hold back. If there is pilot error, a mistake by ATC or a design problem with the aircraft it will not be sugar coated for public consumption. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rattler Posted March 4, 2008 Report Share Posted March 4, 2008 The Air France A340 crash at Pearson a few years ago put the blame squarely on the flight crew. The pilot is now suing the Safety Board over it with help from the Pilots' Association. He set the plane down too far down the runway to be able to stop in the poor weather, and the board said it was his decision in the end. That one showed up on "Mayday" on Discovery.

Crash Posted March 7, 2008 Report Share Posted March 7, 2008 That Airbus landing is like one of mine when there is NO crosswind! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
