    Scary...777s being thrown around like that is something else. The condor 753 looked to really struggle, serious nose down action!

    The emirates crew nailed it beautifully in the flare.

    This video is taken from an angle that makes the landings appear almost vertical, it makes the sink rate really visible. Something you don't normally see that clear on a fast moving plane. Great!

    And it's not just the wind:

    EDDL, can be best described at sporty in cross wind weather......23R/L can be a b!tch re wind shear. As with the heavies when you pass the forest section to open ground at about 1 mile from the runway threshold prepare for the ars@ to drop out of the aircraft with negative shear, that with an undulating runway that slopes away from you at the touchdown zone (easy to do a deep landing) and in winter throw some snow in for effects and braking action can dramatically reduce. I think a turkish 73 went into the bushes with an over run with these ingedients thrown into the mix some years ago



    Brilliant vid.....

    THe most interesting aspect of that video was the trouble they had getting that 757-3 to stop flying, I am guessing that they had a reasonable level of power on for gust allowance, as well as the cross wind. I've never seen a 757 with that much nose down to make the approach, if it had been a 146, or some of the smaller turbo props, not a great surprise, but it was to see that.

    The other notable aspect was that despite the "sporting" conditions, the accuracy of the landings was impressive.

    Shore, if it was easy, everybody would be doin it.😁

    Me thinks that 757 was empty. Very difficult to control in those conditions. Near 3 point landing on 2nd approach I'd say associated with extra carried speed.

    Keep in mind that it was the 300srs of the 757.With the extra length it would be more challenging in a cross wind landing than a 200srs.The Air Berlin A330 looked quiet scary also but compare the speed of the smoke from rubber burn with that of the Emirates 777 and it is obvious wind gusts were worse for some of the landings.
    While Boeing were certifying the 757-300 they were looking for an airport with an adequate cross wind component and Cork came up trumps at the time :)
