That is nothing unusual is a standard cross wind landing. Even a pilot of a Cessna 172 is taught the Crab or the Slip (side-slip) methods of landing in a crosswind.Crabbing or crab method aligns the aircraft nose with the wind direction to maintain runway alignment. The slip method uses aileron and rudder to keep the plane tracking straight while banking into the wind. In that video the pilot is transitioning from a crab to a slip just before touchdown to align the plane with the runway centerline and reduce the load on the landing gear. There are hundreds of videos on the internet of this. True sitting upfront is a lot more scary than in the back. Cross wind speed has to be in the published tolerance for the aircraft and if it becomes unstable at anytime you can always go around. Now that is fun when they hit the TOGA button twice no matter where you are sitting... |
