I would have thought a go around was in order but then I'm only a PC Pilot ;)

Thanks for sharing the video,

Roger.

Any news on what the passengers thought about it? :-O
It's not a 'bird', it's an aeroplane or an aircraft :rant:

Two (rhetorical) questions

1) what is the crosswind limit for the aircraft and was that within the limit?

2) Surely with a high wing and a narrow track undercarriage the pilot would have done better to fly a "wing down" approach and landing rather than a crab approach?

IE11 I get "This browser does not support video playback." All praise the wonders of MS.

Firefox & Chrome managed it fine .

Thanks for the link.

It worked for me in Firefox, George. Maybe a 'plug-in' missing ? *-)

Worked OK on Opera. Nice to see that the captain had good reflexes & that the aircraft responded to them so well!
