Windy Day in Scotland!
A bit windy today (Mon)! On top of various equipment failures, there was some chronic windshear and turbulence on final approach to our airport, especially in the last 500'. We were watching some gut-wrenching approaches out of the tower window, along with a few go-arounds - plus the traffic that literally couldn't taxi onto stand, due to the high windspeeds - just had to stop and be towed on.
Anyway, out of all the landings I saw, practically all were extremely smooth touchdowns - quite unbelievable in this weather. There have been a few threads about great ATC here, so it's only fair to now raise a glass to the flight crews today who made it look pretty easy!!!!
