tobbe490 Posted November 4, 2015 Report Posted November 4, 2015 Hallo Today I tried to land in Hamburg (EDDH). It was supposed to be an ILS landing but although the MCP showed that everything was OK my plane (Boing 777 professional) came in sideways and I crashed. Can anybody explain what was wrong? See attached file. Quote
eaglewing7 Posted November 4, 2015 Report Posted November 4, 2015 You are landing in a significant crosswind. As shown on the display the wind is from 249° at 61KTS. That is an incredible amount of wind. I for one cannot see any aircraft landing safely with that amount of wind, especially at nearly 90° of crosswind. Next time choose a more into wind runway. The reason you crashed was likely due to the fact that the aircraft ran out of rudder authority, and at that point you're dead on a crosswind. 1 Quote
