This sort of thing annoys me. All pilots certainly need to be able to land in a crosswind.
Yet this captain did not know what to do? And not so long ago we had the captain of a cargo turbo-prop landing at Birmingham who also did not know what to do with a crosswind in the flare and went off the runway.
Unbelievable. I hope for this crew's sake, they had a jammed rudder in the flare and it was not due to their incompetence.
Having said that, how many pilots are actually tested on their crosswind flare technique before being offered employment?
