Hetfield,
You are correct! An IB 320 was written off there a few years back. If the rumour mill of the day was accurate, Airbus admitted some programme shortcommings in the fly by wire when dealing with conditions like these. (i know not much about airbus a/c). I have spent some time at BIO however, and can say that with a southerly breeze like this you can deflect the aileron one way without the wing immediately going the way you would wish. By the time it does move as directed you may no longer want it going that way!
This place gets seriously turbulent down low. Passengers disembark sobbing and greatful to be on the ground. The crew got everyone back to earth safely, no damage to the jet, a little more experience gained.
Anyone trying to put a tailwheel down in these conditions shouldnt be there.
