TWR reported wind shortly before landing at RWY27: 300 deg, 33 knots, gusting 48
So they had a crosswind component of 16 knots gusting 22 knots on rwy 27. As usual the daily snail making a drama out of a non event, the landing looked normal and fairly smooth, the previous go around was the normal application of sound airmanship.
At the previous mob I worked with, it's a FAIL if it was a sim proficiency check with landing in this fashion. The teledyne record will be replayed at your debriefing as to why you failed.
In the case, I wondered if it would show up in FOQA monitoring. Of cpurse there would be a lot of mitigating factors. Besides the 773 semi levered landing gear is very forgiving!
