I'm a private jet pilot, and apparently the pilot had already been compensating for the tailwind from right to left and at the moment of landing he suddenly encountered a descending wind causing the most aggressive touch on the runway, they probably had to check the shock absorbers and conditions of the tires after landing.

OMG! I could believe what i just saw. Turkish third time unlucky it seems. That has to be the roughest landing i've seen at BHX. The pilot did the right thing by aligning the plane diagonal to the crosswind, but the plane was still rocking and unstable due to the strong crosswinds. The landing must have shook the passengers up somewhat. Despite all the difficulties, the pilot got the plane down eventually. You have to take your hat off to the pilots.

A landing that exceeded the cross-wind component for that aircraft for sure, but if you are up and you need to get down what else can you do? He kept it crabbed into wind and didn't risk using rudder because it would have been hard to control the secondary effect of roll and the port wing might have dug in. He got it down level but the tyres paid the price. Great job under the circumstances. Commercial pilots are put under constant pressure to fly in these conditions.

@@koll789 it is very rare that there wouldn't be a suitable alternate or even any other airport they could go to, particularly around Heathrow. London alone has 6 airports. And with runways at different directions you could almost certainly reduce the crosswind component. And Turkish airlines is coming from a fair way, so probably quite a bit of spare fuel.

@pilotguy7074 2 ай бұрын

@@koll789 when you plan your flight you always need at least one alternate where the weather is within limits. And if destination weather is out of limits you need at least 2 options that are within limits. Otherwise the flight would be illegal. And as others say if crosswind was out of limits no attempt would be made. Landing in gusty crosswinds even within limits is challenging.
