somebody posted before that the Boeing 737 is better equipped to land in wind than an A320...is this correct?

Don't know, it's much lower than an a320 so there's not much room for error.

You decide which copes better.

Busy time at the moment in Dublin, 9 planes on approach which is alot for a short space of time, all should be on the ground in the next 10 or 15 mins.

theres a thompson flight from manchester, i assume this is a doing an aerlingus backlog flight?

Thomason operate from DUB on weekends during the winter and it comes from MAN.

but a perfect crosswind landing.

Is it though?

I thought that in a crosswind landing like that, there would be heavy right rudder just before touchdown to line up with the runway and reduce lateral load on the main landing gear.

I didn't see any, but maybe that's just the way the video is a stop motion video..

Massive structural loading landing a jet sideways in a x wind. Having said that look up u tube of Boeing and airbus doing max cross wind demos at Keflavik re certification and those buoys don't even attempt to kick off the drift.

In my world if your any good, you decend as far as you dare and then kick in rudder to maintain the runway axis as the mains touch. If it works as planned its sweet.....otherwise it's a lurch and a fair bit of rudder work maintaining directional control.

Very easy to do or was. It's mandated one flew into a certain dme towards the checker board before turning final. With a roaring tailwind up your chuff it was next nigh impossible to be lined up perfectly on short finals.

When they moved airport many a pilot breathed a massive sigh of relief.....it was a crazy and dangerous approach which resulted in many a dramatic landing.

It's now used for light aircraft and mid week remote control planes believe it or not.

3 EI flights out already cancelled tonight but that maybe due to aircraft being out of position.

Was chatting to a mate...he tells me that 2/3 of the EI fleet were out of position on Thursday morning. Hence all the early morning canellations.
And because of the long duty days the flight crew had on the Wednesday they were unable to get them 'home' till the afternoon. (crew rest being equal to duty time)
