My landing into Don that evening was lively in the Citation They were getting gusts up to 80 its, Even the handler got blown off his feet guiding us in.

just through interest what do you add on approach speed wise for such conditions? At one point I was holding 170 KTS and saw that drop to 120 KTS and then shoot right up again with horrendous wing drops
That makes me smile when I hear pilots state they will hold VREF on approach regardless of winds

Must have been the worst i have had!! At least my PAX were impressed smooth touchdown more luck than anything else
