If the pilot"Would have tried to land"He would have sheared-of the landing gear"Or (And)The plane could have cartwheeled"On the runway"Causing a catastrophic mishap!!!
Aww, I think he would say yapper's on here are just having a "crab boil".....just saying!
These x-wind vids come out about 3 or 4 times a year now. Nothing new to see anymore. Yawn.
I remember when I was doing crosswind training in a Traumahawk in New Zealand...we hit a bump so hard that my 6'3" tall instructor put his head through the glass.
WOW!
Looks like at 0:56 - 0:58 the pilot is trying to correct/zero the sideslip just before WoW then another gust blew him away and he wisely aborts. Kool. I'll bet he has done this before at Cork.....
That plane will need a landing gear inspection after that.... When he touched down, that was a huge side load on the gear.
