Rough old day.

The landing at 09.45 into the 2nd clip I thought was a very good effort indeed. Maybe lucky between the gusts? That P/F had control of the thing and nailed the C/L through out. Very rare these days, a cross wind landing like that.

Some of those touch downs, the P's/F were extremely lucky they weren't trying that in a B707 for e.g., as they would not have got away with it. Not their faults as obviously they haven't been trained to do the job correctly in those conditions. Attempting to touch down, without any attempt to decrab and with the down wind wing down, is just not acceptable. Begs the question as to the standard of the check and training at these outfits.

Full marks to the people who went missed. Nothing wrong with that.
