Yep, the EDI Shuttle 8B certainly concentrated the mind yesterday morning! I was glad it was a heavier 320 rather than the lighter cork-in-a-barrell 319, which would also have meant using Flap 3 and a higher approach speed in those conditions. Still, had 105 kts ground speed for a while at about 10 mile finals, and a 50 knot wind gradient from 1500" to touchdown. Sporty.
You know it's bad when you taxi out watching a Scottish-based ATP crew going-around! At least we were home before 11am when the fun seems to have really started....
