Aerosoft Aerosoft Team [Inactive Account] 51558 Posted January 13, 2012 Author Aerosoft Share Posted January 13, 2012 is it me, or do aircraft with winglets have more issues with crosswind? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deputy Sheriffs mopperle 4162 Posted January 13, 2012 Deputy Sheriffs Share Posted January 13, 2012 is it me, or do aircraft with winglets have more issues with crosswind? You're right! I've read somewhere that for e.g. the 737 crosswind limits had been slighly reduced to 33 kts versus 36 kts. EDIT: just got it here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susl-Blume 55 Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 look a liitle bit so, thate aircraft with winglet will be pushed more to side from the wind, maybe while the crosswind blows against the winglet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt_Smith 1116 Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Great video, I wonder what the actual wind was gusting up to? The highest I've ever done was 12kts gutsing 17 in a C172, very sporting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flusi4ever 39 Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 As far as I know we had gusts up to 26 knots here in Germany the last weeks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deputy Sheriffs Holgi 2364 Posted January 13, 2012 Deputy Sheriffs Share Posted January 13, 2012 Also die 757-300 der Condor ist echt der Hammer, die habe so recht mit ihrem Slogan "wir lieben fliegen" denn die 757 sieht aus als wollte sie gar nicht landen! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex F. 46 Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Ja Schön mit negativem Pitch und Klappen auf 20°? Und die 737-500 Lufthansa zeigt sich ja nicht wirklich beeindruckt Die machen da locker ihre Landung Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F4PhantomRAAF 1 Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 Must have been windshear alert. The aircraft were flying way too fast on finals! Well after the 777-300 landed very hard...... Daniel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emi 5161 Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 Great video, I wonder what the actual wind was gusting up to? The highest I've ever done was 12kts gutsing 17 in a C172, very sporting! From what I know we had guests up to 45 knots. In Cologne/Bonn (EDDK, about 20NM from EDDL) they had a maximum strenght of up to 55 knots! Must have been windshear alert. The aircraft were flying way too fast on finals! Well after the 777-300 landed very hard...... Daniel Windshear is something different. When you have a windshear the wind is coming steeply from above, pushing you towards the ground. What we had in Düsseldorf is "just" normal guests and a few CBs, nothing else.

When you have a windshear the wind is coming steeply from above, pushing you towards the ground. What we had in Düsseldorf is "just" normal guests and a few CBs, nothing else. http://flighttrainin.../crosswind.html I would say the Condor aborted landing due to a windshear alert system in the cockpit. And seeing the descent of the first two aircraft I would attribute to a loss of airspeed on approach due to windshear. I myself have flown these conditions and also been in a 777-300 flight deck during shear. It is common although many people don't know it. The Condor and following aircraft showed a response to the windshear alert (some airports have a windshear alert system too, so the controller may have alerted the pilot or told him/her to go around) which they increased airspeed and landed at a higher than normal airspeed. They just shove the bird on the ground. It is safer than SOP. Windshear is not wind gusts but certainly there is a lot of windshear around during windy conditions. I can guarantee you that. Also CBs are guaranteed to give you windshear. Windshear is not winds coming from above although that can happen. Wikipedia definition sums it up nicely: Wind shear, sometimes referred to as windshear or wind gradient, is a difference in windspeed and direction over a relatively short distance in the atmosphere. Wind shear can be broken down into vertical and horizontal components, with horizontal wind shear seen across fronts and near the coast, and vertical shear typically near the surface, though also at higher levels in the atmosphere near upper level jets and frontal zones aloft. Windshear is too often identified as downdrafts, and that thinking is very wrong. Please make sure you know what windshear is before posting.
