HussamAli Posted March 10, 2022 Report Share Posted March 10, 2022 Landing in EPRZ today, winds were zero and doubled checked Aircraft at finals is crabbing, seems at a large angle with respect to centerline. It’s as if it was a cross wind landing. Checked flight controls. All flight surfaces were normal and nothing out of the ordinary with the aircraft fully configured for landing. Any ideas why this could be happening? video attached. IMG_2082.MOV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ois650 Posted March 10, 2022 Report Share Posted March 10, 2022 Unfortunately I cannot view your video as I'm not viewing this on an Apple device (it's in .mov format). Was the aircraft tracking towards the runway while in crabbed flight? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goran_M Posted March 11, 2022 Report Share Posted March 11, 2022 Fuel imbalance? Too much fuel in the left wing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes the aircraft at 1000 feet (AP disengage) was tracking correctly and I continued manually towards the runway in what seemed to be a crabbing situation. I checked the winds twice at it was set to zero at ground and up to higher altitude. Fuel was balanced prior to take off I attached a photo Edited March 11, 2022 by HussamAli Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjb4000 Posted March 11, 2022 Report Share Posted March 11, 2022 Could you turn on the X-Plane data output for weather and take a screenshot showing zero wind? It sure looks to me like there's a crosswind happening there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
