[Rhodes22-list] A320 heavy crosswind landing

[Alan Robertson]

Burt,
Looked more like a wind shear to me. Did you see how it lost lift temporarily until pilot gunned it full throttle? Also he must have anticipated crosswind a bit since he dipped windward wing 15 degrees just before anticipated touchdown. In any even hats off! Knew what to do and did it instantly.

  It rather reminds me of my flying an Aircoupe back in the 1950's  out  of 
  Zahn's Airport.... in a gusting 40 kt. crosswind... talk about crabing....  the 
  need for brown pants... Burt
