Watch: Pilot Nails Sideways Landing in 45 MPH Storm Winds
By Jonathan in Airline News/ The Winglet/ thewinglet.boardingarea.com

"Pilots can do some pretty incredible things, and sometimes videos are able to capture some amazing maneuvering. Well, this TUI flight Boeing 757 landing at Bristol made an amazing sideways landing as it landed in crosswinds of 40 knots (about 46 miles per hour) during weather related to Storm Callum, a tropical storm that hit the UK over the weekend. The video shows the incredible landing as the pilot maneuvers with the winds to land the plane in the bad winds...."

I know we have some Pilots who are Tuggers. My question to them, is at what point would the
cross-wind speed have to be before you would abort the landing?

Thanks

Not exactly just another day at the office, but she showed off her training. I think that I might have asked if there was a runway nearby that was more closely aligned with the wind. But in the end, airplanes are made to act as a weather vane and point into the wind.

Cool looking landing with the plane crabbing into the crosswind, but a totally clickbait sensationalist article. If you listen to The ATC in the video, the wind speed is 26kts with potential gusts to 40kts
