Crosswind landing techniques

Oh come guys! We are meant to be professionals

You are flying a multimillion $ piece of tin full of people, you have a responsibility to the pax, company and yourself to be fully conversant with ALL the recommend techniques of how to do a xwind landing upto and including the limit.

If you are not you should get out of the flight deck and take up gardening.


Both Airbus and B777 are fly by wire not cable therefore there is no control input lag, as a result in my experience the 777 is the best and most responsive of any commercial aircraft in a crosswind I have ever flown.

Applying crossed controls to counter a rudder input is not unstabilising an approach, its Effect of Controls 1 for heavens sake!

Let remember we are meant to be pilots not just button pushers.

rant over and the soap box is back in the cupboard!
