@06548925454151432514 glaub ich kaum..denn wenn du eine Ahnung hättest wäre "Crosswindlanding" ein Begriff für dich ;-)

[06548925454151432514]

@chrigiammann

ja..Aber bei einer landung mit seitenwind steuert man das flugzeug kurtz bevor man landet wieder auf die landebahn.Deswegen.

It's quite unfortunate. I read the entire NTSB report. The first officer who was flying the aircraft was a female with a history of alcohol-related convictions in automobiles and multiple failed or unsatisfactory line checks and evaluations. One line check pilot even called her a "below average pilot" that had issues with good judgment. Another one described performance by stating she had "generally poor airmanship." Why was she given so many chances when she had a history of mediocrity?

[defaultytuser]

I guess the captain was there to ensure that everithing went well, but it seems it wasn't enough

To darthluke100, this wasn't a game. This is National Transportation Safety Board (US Government) animation of a FedEx incident at Memphis.

[sagolds]

Pilot error caused this incident. In this case a woman pilot who as a FedEx employee and any pilot can see in that recreation all she had to do was slightly turn the yoke to the left and hard on the right rudder to keep that plane straight instead of landing sideways like she did.

[darthluke100]

[AdamJLemon]
