Actually, a pretty good cross-wind landing. I once had to land my Cessna 180 (tail dragger) diagonally on a wide runway because I ran out of rudder when trying to straighten out over the centerline. Also, took off crossways after I had refused. | |||

Looked pretty sloppy to me. | |||

Looks like it was a gusty crosswind--as most heavy crosswinds seem to be--and the pilot was over correcting a little. Of the three planes I flew in the USAF, the C-130 and T-1 had to be landed wing low. The T-38 had to be landed in a crab. Most airlines can be landed in a crab, and that is a little easier than landing wing low, though I think a well executed wing low landing can be smoother. | |||

I didn't realize Birmingham had severe crosswind issues. I'd like to know more about the lens this guy used. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7P9OAng32F0 There is hope, even when your brain tells you there isn’t. – John Green, author | |||

That's what I was taught with a little extra thrust to overcome loss of lift. The crab can/is be tough on tires and gear. But you have to go with what the book dictates; I guess.

A 777 is landed wing low up to 31 knots direct crosswind. Over 31 knots you use a combination slip and partial crab. The 777 is very controllable and responsive. I landed one in Taipei right after the passing of a Typhoon with 45 knots straight across the runway. The airplane does exactly what you tell it to do, she's very well behaved. | |||

Unlike an Airbusse with yaw damper that works, most of the time. | |||

And ailerons that are too small and 1/2 second behind your control inputs. The only buses that I've flown are the 319/320. Both are sloppy whores in a gusty crosswind. | |||

Amazing the 7X and Airboos come out of the same country. Are you still flying? | |||
