A380 ‘Super’: Hard Landing @ EDDL (Dusseldorf)
A now ‘infamous’ video of an Emirates A380 having trouble landing during windy conditions at Dusseldorf.
Cargospotter, who filmed the incident and added the video online said this particular landing stood out from the many he has previously filmed.
“I have filmed a few thousand crosswind landings at several airports in Europe within the past years, but this Airbus A380 crosswind landing was extremely hard and extraordinary,” he said.
“At first it looked like a pretty normal crosswind approach but after touchdown the pilots tried to align with the runway which looked pretty incredible.
“I have never seen such a tremendous reaction of an airplane after a touchdown. You can see that the pilots tried to align with the runway by using the tail rudder and luckily it worked out. This video shows the incredible skills of the pilots.
