I would have thought a go around was in order but then I'm only a PC Pilot
Thanks for sharing the video,

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!

Thanks for posting!
OK in Firefox Australia.
Nature toys with us!
That's a rather large man made object being tossed about.
