Crosswind landings at Birmingham Airport


by betacygni Uploaded on 15 Mar 2008

Birmingham Airport in the UK has a single runway, which, unfortunately, is roughly at right angles to the prevailing wind direction. The runway is also rather undulating from one end to the other. This video shows two landings by Boeing 737s on a day in March 2008 when the wind was about 60 degrees to the runway, and gusting to 45 or 50 mph.
