Dont be late

Penetrate.

A few hours ago an Ethiopian Airlines flight landed in Hong Kong during the middle of a Super Typhoon. Does this qualify as a partial or full Lee Roy Jenkins?

Working on the crosswind landings I see.

Anyone else here OG enough that your first thought was that some crazy person on JC might use this to try and get someone from Ethiopian fired?

Wouldn't put it past one of our regulars.

Oh it happened once before - I was just curious if any of our other old timers recalled it when they saw this post.

I remember that story. That was a drama filled time around here.

They landed safely?

 

[mikecweb]

Now we just have people trying to be like bots. Not sure which is better

34031G42KT, FEW015 and -RA is nothing, that’s student solo weather.

Velocipede and CalCapt…..

Mr “get off of my jump seat!” Lol. Oh Velo

And yet, with all his bluster here, he was silent and introverted at a very early NJC

That's pretty typical February weather at TEB when they're landing 01 and winds are 32025G35. Send it!

If the gust spread on that was only 4kts I would fly a 172 in that. 35kts was my limit. If you wait for a calm wind day where I'm from, you won't fly very often.

A point I've always emphasized with students in light aircraft is don't ignore the weather after you land. Sure the crosswind component on approach might give you sweaty palms, but that isn't over when you clear the runway, as that crosswind component just turned 90 degrees and the ride isn't over.

Climb into. Dive away. Words to live by.

Only if they had chicken can they be considered a “full” Leroy Jenkins.

They’d need 40’s as well.
