Minimum Runway Occupancy Time.
(Or does it only look like taxiing on grass? German news Spiegel Online reported that the A380 came to stop on grass.)
Edit: obviously fake news by the Spiegel. The aircraft left the runway on a taxiway.

​​​​​​..I am impressed.. Not because of the landing, but the landing gear not collapsing..

Fly safe,

That is close to criminal. As a Base Trainer, I would have chopped a trainee for that.

Well as a base trainer I'm sure you wouldn't be training in those conditions...
Also arnt you supposed to train a trainee not chop them... hence your title Training Capt?!

The problem with buying fleets of huge aeroplanes..... that you then fly around half empty..... is that they are a real PITA to land when it's windy!

It is soooo much easier when you have a full load.

For an ignorant but interested passenger what happens after landing like this which must put massive lateral strain on the gear. Does it get inspected as in a hard landing-too many Gs or are sideways forces not something to cause structural worry.

MInd you they wouldnt be shutting the prodcution line down if it really could hover would they

I sincerely hope this is NOT a normal x-wind landing. Not in my book.

Well said BZ but that was excellent trg conditions. Having agreed that, the pilot needs to display the basics, not wreck the U/c.

Cool...you have a x-wind landing clip filming from the front and you say its gonna be different with you...?
Besides the fact i respect your post and your piloting techniques dont forget that Camera angles can do very nice tricks depending the perspective.
