Crosswind at WSI

[red750]

Video on Ch 7 this morning of an airliner landing at WSI. It drifted left of the centreline, touched down with the left u/c almost touching the white sideline, continued left over the paved shoulder and onto the grass before correcting and getting back on the runway.

My efforts, not the same category - when I landed yesterday, the wind had changed from a headwind to a 90 degree blustery X wind. 

 

Gust caught me on flaring - ballooned & moved sharply across runway. Held my nerve and we touched down on runway edge - all good until turning to backtrack, another gust hit me as I turned, causing a sharp over rotation (the delights of tail wheel). Straightened out and backtracked, with caution to parking. Flying, even on the ground, is a challenge, in large part ,that's why we do it.😈

Which Airline?  You have to be a bit lucky running on grass or you will break through and bog quickly, with very bad consequences.  ( Sorry about that, It should have gone earlier). It's up to the PIC  to assess the conditions and  BOTH His (and the Planes ) Limits. Nev

Clean or renew undies / nickers added to the post flight maintenance list🙃. Been there done that although much smaller lighter. Glad to hear all good.

The runway excursion shown in the video did not occur at WSI. Birmingham perhaps?

You would think that FACT would be Important?  Nev
