onetrack Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 It's a credit to commercial aircraft engineering that so many of those aircraft actually survived the abuse being handed out to them! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red750 Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 Here's another of those stomach churning approaches - this time at Dusseldorf. You'll have to endure the Gaviscon commercial first.

Marty_d Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 He had guts persisting with it. I hope he'd ruled out all other options - ie diverting to another airport with less wind - before doing that one. Looked extremely hairy. Last year my sister-in-law came down for a visit, I watched her plane make 2 approaches in high winds, and then give up and go back to Melbourne. Inconvenient, yes, but safe. Words to live by! (Unless you're a glider pilot). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
