Oh man...What now?
|
Saw something on the web a few months ago like this. Th plane was 50 yards or so off to one side of the runway due to wind. Pilot slid it in side ways like a stunt plane on a short field landing. Makes parts of me pucker up!

Is that what they call the side-step maneuver?

Would suck to be sitting in a window seat and be able to see down the runway as you are coming in....

He made it look pretty easy. The scary ones are when they dip a wing just before touchdown.

It's not impossible, I used to bullseye womp rats in my T-16 back home. They're not much bigger than two meters.........

Sad fact at my airline: Since the majority of the pilots came from the military where they flew single-seat fighters, the policy is to transition from crab to slip at 200 feet on final.
Why? So that the captain knows that you know how to do a proper cross-wind landing..... N- |

That's gotta be rough on the landing gear.
