|  Crooked Landings A.net photo of crooked landing OK, how on earth can a pilot land a plane in a position like this? Do they plant the rear wheels on the ground and then use rudder to get the nose straight down the runway? This landing just doesn't look possible. |

| Re: Crooked Landings Haven't you ever seen a video of a Korean Air 747 landing at Kai Tak? The pilot landed so crooked it looked like he was gonna crash. Maybe this is part of Korean Air's flight procedures? [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cwm27.gif[/img] |

 | Re: Crooked Landings If i'm looking at that pic correctly, he's got the aileron down but the rudder looks neutral. I've had a few landings in a Cessna where I touch down crooked on the runway and its not a good feeling. What does somebody else see? For the captains, is landing a Boeing in a stiff xwind require as much crosswind correction needed in a Cessna? |

| Re: Crooked Landings I was Bsing with an instructor the other day about sideloads he mentioned the 747 gear is rated to handle a 30 degree deflection [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img] crazy s$$it considering the stresses on the gear just from touchdown. |

[/ QUOTE ] Aircraft like the 747 (and the B-52) are made to land in a crab because you'd risk striking the outboard pylon if you tried to land it in a slip. |
