Windy windy windy
I was a passenger on a bearded Airbus 340 into Dulles at about 15:10 (eastern) yesterday afternoon (13th) and heck was it windy. A very bumpy and memorable approach was followed by a landing which was a non event i.e. greased on the the tarmac.
Apart from being well impressed by the landing, I am curious exactly what the wind was at the time and I guess what was the runway orientation? It felt like a substantial crosswind componant.
What cross winds can a 340 handle ??
