Hi all, there has been a heavy storm (to hurricane) situation here in Northern Europe during the last days.
A Lufthansa A 320 touched! the runway with one winglet (damaged) in the final phase of the landing when not only executing a crosswind landing but getting into a heavy unexpected gust. The chief pilot of LH applauded the crew for their professional reaction. He said the regularly training of exactly such events paid off. The aircraft could land safely on another runway, some passengers felt really bad and came near to tears.

Is a METAR file of this time (EDDH, Saturday 01.Febr.2008, 14:00) available anywhere? ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
