That was an interesting video watching the different techniques. Size does matter, but we knew that. Listening to the ATC wind and looking at the drift angles I suspect LTN RW26 on the hill would have been horrid on that day. MAN RW24 in the lee on the terminal, as was LHR, would also have been interesting if the W/V was the same.
Does anyone have any knowledge?
For the BA pilots I applaud their decision. To me that is the more difficult element of a GA than the execution. There you are, clear VMC, only a few feet left and perhaps even over the tarmac, and deciding discretion is the better part of valour.
