After he left Stalag 13 he went to work for Lufthansa! He is a buddy of Snake's, along with Genie. I know it appeared to be clear air but that jet may have faced full micro or at least mini-micro burst, too. b2 Sgt Schultze (You Dumbkoff!) was actually in the left seat.

If the captain was blindly following those rules, then he is a dumkopf. My company limits our A319/320 fleet to a 29 knot crosswind component, Airbus demonstrated limit is a bit higher. Looking at METAR info on some other sites, looks like steady state xwind was in mid 30's and Max gust was 42 knots (crosswind component). For the record, most operators don't consider gusts, just the steady state wind in limitations. As far as Blackhawk's link above, those made me cringe. Landing gear ain't made for side loads like that. Never seen anyone land with that much crab in. On the 320, you fly the crab (point the nose into the wind and fly the runway course to landing) and then kick it out with rudder in the flare. When kicking it out, you must add aileron into the wind to keep the upwind wing from lifting. Secret Asia Man (love that name BTW!) is correct, normally lateral stick input commands a roll rate, however, below about 50' AGL the control laws change and I think it goes into a direct correlation. Trying to get the exact numbers. Ugly. N Some companies have procedures that require you to take a runway with a precision approach even in visual conditions.

LOL! I mistakenly bought it for a martini recipe I liked at a particular restaurant. Thinking all martini's are made with Gin & keeping in mind that Martini's have a larger alcohol content in comparison to say, a mixed drink,I bought the big bottle at a discount. Come to find out the Extra dirty Martini I really liked was a vodka recipe. Problem is I don't particularly like Gin. :) Xairboss have a seat, I'll pour!

Made me think abut my struggle with aero in pre-flight. I think I'm gonna be sick. Either that or have another glass of gin. Too many discussions of aero theory.
