[HD]US Airways A320 Landing in Heavy Winds

[Cessnapilot03]

On jets, are you not suppose to have full flaps while landing with heavy winds?

[gemimijets13]

that is nothing compared to my flight

[gokumalo]

looks like a flap 3 config

[paraskevas15]

@gokumalo yeah 4 sure not full

[KCBOYZ1307]

@gokumalo I noticed that too, why'd they do that?

[gokumalo]

@KCBOYZ1307 Certain wind conditions can dictate they use a flap 3 and for longer runways but since its required for the PF to Override the "Auto" System to use flap 3 I would say mostly due to "certain" wind condtions, I'm sure a real world Airbus Pilot can be more elaborate

[KCBOYZ1307]

@gokumalo Stupid airbuses. You would think that with only flaps three he'd be going way to fast../

[UnaVidaInfeliz]

Good landing!

[ositogominola]

Full flap is not a safety operation with gusts because the airplane becomes more sensitive. Furthermore, gusts are changes in the speed and you can reach and pass your speed limitation. From my flight manual of an C172RG: "When landing in a strong crosswind, use the minimum flap setting required for the field lenght. Although the crab or combination method of drift correction may be used..."

[fabianz03]

why the flaps aren't full?

[FlightSimXflyer]

maybe because the heavy winds

[cwastudent]

@fabianz03 You can say that again I thought my eyes were fooling me

[radugoicea]

Really nice! Good job from the pilot! I had a landing like this at night on a thunder storm and I couldn't stop clapping when the plane stopped and so did the others...

[MrJohnnySmoke]

This is fun... but try landing in Lake Tahoe with cross winds. This will make you B-hole pucker.

[kafferlilly]

Fantastic landing, ashame that people don't clap anymore, especialy after a landing with wind like this. I sometimes do it but people look at me are you mad or something!

[Solari24]

im a frequent flyer and ive never been on a international flight when people dont clap.

[cjracer1000]

[you2tube22]
