757 Landing in strong winds
Video played just fine on Apple Mac with OS 10.3.8 and Safari browser.
Looked a bit like routine winter landing at Sumburgh airport! Maurice Sandwick, Shetland On 29/12/06 11:06 pm, in article , "Jon O'Rourke" wrote: Apologies in advance to any nervous fliers http://www.komotv.com/home/video/491...?video=YHI&t=a Jon. |

Metar Sea-Tac for mid afternoon Wednesday KSEA 282153Z 35008KT Metar series: http://meteocentre.com/cgi-bin/get_s...=KSEA&DELT=360 shows no winds to give any cause for comment on either last Wednesday (as the clip suggests) or even the Wednesday before. Strange. (I had to use IE7 - wouldn't work with Firefox) What's the name of that phenomenon where a finger of sheer pokes out of a strong downdraught. I can't remember when but the subject came up some years back with a thread like this. |

757 Landing in strong winds
getting a bit OT I know but ...
Just curious, but would the pilot be under full manual control for a landing like this? Not having piloted anything more complex than a glider I wondered which has a faster response - the human or the autopilot?
