Boeing 777 and 747SP Crosswind Landing Tests
Video shows Boeing test pilots determining the demonstratedcrosswind landing
limits on the 777 and the 747SP. The engineers make educated guesses, but
then the test crews have to go actually prove the numbers. They sneak off to
Brazil to do these tests at a certain remote BAF airbase famous for its
continual atrocious crosswinds. Should the gear sideloads be excessive and
fold one up, there is nobody there to take nasty pix for the Airbus guys to
wave around in the press.

Watch the video closely. Notice how quickly the plane responds to the
roll commnads that lift the spoilers. The left wing spoilers actuate
and a second later the left wing drops. The rudder must be getting a
good kick too.

Oh, so we only see the ones that MAKE it.... ;-)

I don't know about good, but that's the way a good short field is
done. Steep and little roll out :-))

PBS did a series on the development of the 777, at one point they showed the
test pilots sitting around waiting for word of the right combination for max
crosswinds; when word came in, they saddled up and headed there (don't
remember where it was but it was stateside).

Are the 777 gear cocked? Look closely.

I saw that too, but it is an illusion from the rear tires on the bogie hanging lower
than the front that makes it look as if it is cocked.
