I hope you are joking.

Flight Sims are exactly that, simulators, not exactly like the real thing.

Same as wanking over internet porn isn't quite the same as actually having sex with your girlfriend or wife.........but you wouldn't know about that would you.

it will have had enough fuel for a go around, the fact it did proves this, the pilots judgement when to go around was poor though

Winding people up or not, still pretty sad either way. Either thinks he knows better than an actual 3 dimensional pilot, or is trying to wind people up

yes, its called crabbing, yawing is just the more proper name for it, crabbing is the slang term in the pilot world.

As a private pilot, I fully agree with Nick. While the video of this near disaster (and recovery) is quite impressive, it was obviously a poor decision (for all involved) to even attempt a landing in crosswinds of this magnitude. A " go around" and then using a different runway would have been the professional thing to do. The pilots could also have diverted to an alternate airport if necessary. To attempt that landing was extremely unprofessional if not suicidal!


seems even pilots agree with me
