Minimum Runway Occupancy Time.
(Or does it only look like taxiing on grass? German news Spiegel Online reported that the A380 came to stop on grass.)
Edit: obviously fake news by the Spiegel. The aircraft left the runway on a taxiway.

​​​​​​..I am impressed.. Not because of the landing, but the landing gear not collapsing..

Fly safe,
B-757

A little late with the rudder?

It's ok. Social Media has branded them as heroes.

Sky reporting that they taxied on the grass???

[fantom]

That is close to criminal. As a Base Trainer, I would have chopped a trainee for that.

[Meester proach]

It’s a crosswind landing .

probably better without the commentary from Del Boy,who seems to sit and video all this stuff .

Well as a base trainer I'm sure you wouldn't be training in those conditions...
Also arnt you supposed to train a trainee not chop them... hence your title Training Capt?!

What about training them not to repeat it?

Is this rumour and news or just another boring clip with a commercial aircraft doing a normal X-wind landing..???

[Magplug]

The problem with buying fleets of huge aeroplanes..... that you then fly around half empty..... is that they are a real PITA to land when it's windy!

It is soooo much easier when you have a full load.

[pax britanica]

For an ignorant but interested passenger what happens after landing like this which must put massive lateral strain on the gear. Does it get inspected as in a hard landing-too many Gs or are sideways forces not something to cause structural worry.

MInd you they wouldnt be shutting the prodcution line down if it really could hover would they

I sincerely hope this is NOT a normal x-wind landing. Not in my book.

Glad Media didnt see this one...

Well said BZ but that was excellent trg conditions. Having agreed that, the pilot needs to display the basics, not wreck the U/c.

Cool...you have a x-wind landing clip filming from the front and you say its gonna be different with you...?
Besides the fact i respect your post and your piloting techniques dont forget that Camera angles can do very nice tricks depending the perspective.
