WTF kind of crosswind does it take to cause this?

http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=ddb_1204404185

Why did the pilot even start the approach with such high and gusty
winds? Also, what is Lufthansa's policy regarding Max Crosswinds?

It's normal to do so when it's within limits.

What does the POH say the Max Demonstrated Crosswind capability is?

We don't have POH's. We have an AFM which is effectively the same thing

After crabbing for awhile, it looks like he tried to slip.

Nope.


Then when
the plane hit the runway, the landing gear made it fly level.


Nope.


The
wind caught under the right wing and nearly flipped the plane. I'm
glad he flew out of the situation rather than trying to kill the power
and stearing out.



Nope.

Doing a simple Google yielded some historical wind gusts for the
Hamburg area show about 46mph. I'm amazed that the mis information is
still being put out there. Yahoo still has it on their homepage.
There wasn't even a question that the guys chatting and video taping
at the field might have had just a bit of a tough time doing so in
150mph winds?

Would a jet make a second attempt in 155mph winds at the same field?
This is one of the best examples of media stupidity as it refers to
Aviation.

Not to mention that it would be impossible to kick an airliner straight
with 155 mph gust slamming the vertical stabilizer.

Karen Black could do it, if George Kennedy talked her through it.

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.

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.

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

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.

Are you sure she put udder in?

If so that explains it....

****. I spotted that as it was going "down the drain " after I hit send!
You get the brass ring for the first predictable reply!
