Ouch: Etihad Criticizes A380 Pilots For Viral Crosswind Landing
Almost across the board you see praise for these pilots for the landing. Well, Etihad seems to disagree… (onemileatatime.com) 更多...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
are there any 380 drivers here? I am pretty sure the 380 is designed to land in a crab due to wing length, just don't know what the limit is. it looks ok to me until that last gust takes the crab well beyond 20 deg. the PIC at that point may have been already committed and had insufficient time to correct, but no doubt a heck of a jolt for the pax, which I am betting is why the airline has criticized? or their legal department has advised them to anyway....
Every pilot wants to do this once, but if it's filmed, it's up to the front office with a suspension or a pink slip.
The YouTube video ending in lHsMIdfD5Gg is NOT the same as the one in the article.
The video in the article clearly shows a significant crab angle, especially after that gust. They should have immediately gone around.
One should never put themselves, crew, and PAX in danger like this! Those pilots were damn lucky that flight did not end up an accident with casualties!
No wonder they have been terminated.

Oh I agree, the alternate airports would probably be crowded, since a lot of pilots would not attempt an approach with conditions the way they were, but I don’t think the flight crew should be thinking about that. If the flight was released with distant alternates and a decent amount of holding fuel based on forecasted conditions, they should have had some options. My point is that even if the flight gets stuck at an alternate airport the worst thing that’s going to happen is the passengers might not get to London until the next day and the aircraft might be out of position for its next flight. In the general scheme of things that’s not that big of deal and it’s not that hard to put the schedule back together again.
From a pilots perspective here.
This is very disturbing.
It shows the pilot was not trained to fly with
the proper crosswind correction Technic but he/she
was able to get in the pilot seat with hundreds of souls
on board. These pilots need better/more stick and rutter
skills that are somehow being skipped or missed on the
road to ATP. How I just dont know.

It’s really not that big a deal to divert to an alternate airport. Airlines do it all the time. Get some fuel, and if the crew is still legal, and the weather improves, head back to the original airport. If not, put the crew to bed and try it again tomorrow.
