arrived the other day in a 744 from sin,crosswind at 1500 feet was 60 kts,dropping to 21 at touchdown,all from the north so it did get interesting. used brakes 3 and partial reverse with 30 flap and you certainly notice that downslope. platelayers moaned about the arrival even after being warned,but we werent messing around as rwy 27 is the shortest on the network by a long shot. someone is likely to go off the end before 16/34 is finished in may.
