iberia aborted landing again.
Hello I am new to this forum.I was looking at the pictures of a scary touchdown with an A320 in Bilbao.The aircraft touchdown in a right crab in crosswind conditions.Then the aircraft rolled violently over to left so much that the pilots choose to go around.There have been many speculations of windshear from proffessionals and other enthusiast.I have only sixteen hours in a cherokee before my health said stop,so I now wery little of windshear,(And fs2004 doesn,t simulate this so well)but my question is.Can a landing with this crab angle create a roll movement like this if the runway surface is less good.I have myself witnessed two situations like this with 737,s at my home airport.The interresting thing is that they both seem to touchdown at the same place on the runway.Could the Iberia incident simply be a bump where she touchdown combinated with a crab angle.I know landing in crab is common for both a320,s and 737,s up to a certain crosswind limit,so maybee it is a silly question.
