Challenge: Land at EDDH within the next 6 hours of stormy weather

[Mike Hotel]

Hi all,

 

I tried my very best to land my CRJ200 by hand and autopilot in XP9 at EDDH rwy 23 to no avail. I was using real weather, since we have a nice storm to practice with. The wind is at 29021G31KT, the gusts go up to 40 knots. Pretty severe I would say (like 2008 at 29028G43KT).

 

In XP9 the CRJ behaves like a toy in the air and on the ground going sideways (45deg).

 

I would like to know whether you are possible to do the stunt using XP9 or XP10 and different aircraft?

 

Cheers,

Mike

Google says .. CRJ200 Crosswind Limits
    
Dry.................................27 knots
Wet................................24 knots
Snow/ice.........................15 knots

 

Gusts up to 40 knots sounds a wee bit excessive to me!

I guess it would depend on the frequency and duration of gust modelling in X-Plane on how it would ultimately affect the aircraft.

 

Try it with Peters A380 .. if you own it.

Ah, stupid me - should have checked the manual prior, the Airbus A319 wasn't better. And yes, out of its limits, too. I just wanted to recreate the 2008 incident. Man, those pilots did a great job!

 

Blow an A380 in 45kts crosswinds...
