Better yet to have good judgment that results in a diversion to an
airport with better runway orientation. That landing was too close
to becoming a crash.

Well, they gotta learn somehow! I was not a million miles from there
around the same time with a neophyte FO and I let him land it. The x-
wind componenet wasn't so much and I briefed him at length on method
during the approach, but I don't think I'd have let him land with that
much x-wind.

BTW, these things are able to be slipped in a crosswind.

What kind of bank angle do you need to have before you start worrying
about striking a pod in one of these? Isn't the 73 a significant
number less?


Depends on the airplane, obviously, but you have enough on most airplanes
bar the old four engined ones and the MD80 series to slip enough st the
demonstrated limit to have plenty of room. I've landed 737s in 30 knots (
their demonstrated limit) and had room. Our airline had a tip strike very
like that in significantly less wind, though. Let's just say it wasnt a
well flown landing...

The comments on Utube associated with this video talk about the pilot
skills! If I know that pilot was in the front of the airplane, I'd be
getting off, thank you very much. It looked like she tried to make a
coordinated turn toward the center of the runway during the flare but
whatever was going on, it took a few seconds too long to decide to get
out of there.


What hapened was she put a great big boot of udder in and no aileron to
counter it. it may be that the airplane didn't let her, but she was wel
within the direct law envelope and I've been assured by (most, well, two
out of three) A320 guys I know that the airplane will slip just like any
other.

If it was within limits it's done every day of the week all over the world.

Are you sure she put udder in?

If so that explains it....

Perhaps so - but it's been alleged there was a wind gust of 155 mph:

Actually the plane was traveling at 155mph. There was no mention of
wind speed.
