The pilot flared too early (1:40) which would lead a smooth landing. However it must be tough to land this baby into crosswind. I agree with @foxtrotflyer28
haha you say I don't know, but then you agree it was not smooth, which was exactly what I had said. I didn't say it was the worst landing ever, I simply said it was not smooth referring to the "nice smooth landing" comment from below. Also, you talk to me like I don't know a thing about flying.. well let's just clear a few things up. I attend Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University. I am a pilot and have many experiences landing in wind. If I may ask, what are your aviation qualifications?
Exactly, you don't know. Its not always about smooth landings, it is about getting the aircraft down safely and with no incidents. It was a good landing, not smooth but satisfactory. Weather can always affect a landing, you wouldn't be able to land smoothly on a windy day with winds blowing all about in different directions...changes in air speed can suddenly lift an aircraft back into the air in an attempt to nail a super smooth landing.
I don't know if I would call this a "smooth landing." He seems to float for a very long time before making a relatively firm impact with the runway (notice the wingflex). Either way, still an improvement over the OSH landing which I happened to witness in person.
Nice video! Alot better landing than at Osh Kosh. Didn't really notice the jerkyness too much, it was more enjoyable hearing that excited child in the background. Awesome!!!
Nice and sweet landing... I love when it stay a little time above the runway before touch down. Great !!
