Thread: German Plane Attempting Landing

I would have shat my pants if i was on that plane.

wow, +1 on that Shawn

woooooooooaaaaahhh

That wing looked pretty darn close to touching. +2 on that pant shatting!

look's like some crazy crosswind.

Do you have any idea how skilled that pilot is?

I would have to question the pilots judgement and his skill at the crab kickout. IMHO, there is no reason to take that big a risk with the plane or the passengers safety. Granted some days you have better feel for the palne and the conditions than others but....

No doubt about the close call. The pilot should have seen the crosswinds and been informed of them. You can't land a plane like that. I've flown for 31 yrs and never would attempt a landing with those cross winds. When he drifted over the fence he should have seen his line was too off. He obviously had enough fuel to wait for better conditions. I say that because he powered down then back up. Anytime you have to power to land straight your F'ed. If that would have been a smaller plane he would have hit that wing.

I shat my pants watching that...
