LH A320 Rough Landing @ Hamburg

[PEI_3721]

Very few if any FMS provide ‘real time wind’. Most are heavily damped using averaging laws. If you do not know exactly how your FMS calculates wind then it should be treated with caution especially for ‘precision type’ decisions.

Just because the wind etc, is within legal limits (rules vs FMS or tower report), does not mean that the attempt to land is the safest option; that requires judgement and skilled thinking.

The recommendations in the report linked in post #136 indicate that a realistic crosswind limit (applied by the crew/operator) should always include the gust.
