Sorry i'm going to need this one explaining to me, please? Why wouldn't they be able to use left aileron? Or do you just mean that because it had drifted downwind enough, de-crabbing would have put it over the edge of the runway - too much for a bit of aileron to correct at that point?
Agree with the main sentiment though - a well executed rejected landing, the safest option at that point. Well done nige!
