    Indeed its difficult to land but for skilled pilots with Class III landing clearance, I don’t think its a big deal.

    Last summer, I flew from GRR Michigan to ATL Georgia with Delta. Wow! The crew on board sucked. They were all so young and the weather wasn’t fine. Every single time, they were calling the flight attendents which I do not know why. What me was, the flight attendents looked scared on board. The passengers started panicking. It wasn’t funny at all! We did arrive at ATL Georgia but the flight wasn’t fine.

    Because passengers …
    Because passengers want to go that city, and if there’s one airport in the city one chance would remain. However, pilots and airline companies never risk the aircraft while landing. Comfort of the pasengers is the second issue (except g-factor). The first issue is landing the aircraft safely. Additionally pilots are trained..

    Why would airlines …
    Why would airlines even attempt such severe crosswind landings? Landed at SeaTac several years ago under such conditions and, given loud snapping and grinding of metal or whatever, could swear that aircraft suffered structural damage as a result. Wasn’t too comfortable for passengers either. Instead of inspected for damage, watched that aircraft at SeaTac take off roughly 35 minutes later with a full load of passengers.

    Last summer I flied from GRR Michigan to ATL Georgia using Delta wow! the crew on duty was sucks they all was young people some how the weather wasn’t good and, they was jocking on on board calling the server every time I wasn’t sure about the reason of that many calls. what had me off was that the server was looking so scared and people on board was so panicking including me! that wasn’t funny at all! but we made it to ATL not so fine.

    probably because the plane lost most of his speed at 1:25

    Final approach seems vey short isn’t it? If so why? There isn’t any mountains or something towards the runway.

    There’re so many clips like this. That ‘s so scary for passenger (like me). It’s very good that this airport has already closed.
