Crosswind landings can get damn hairy. They sure are fun to watch when done properly by competent crew.

I had a thrill ride/crosswind landing in a DC-10 into SFI. Plenty of gasps in the cabin as the airframe shuttered. I think I laughed.

All of my NOPES.
Every last one. Hell, I'll take out a mortgage to buy more NOPES if I have to. Now, a serious question for you aviation guys: Does that sort of thing shorten the life of the aircraft? Sort of like a Crown Vic owned by elderly folks in FL would be in far better shape than the same car with the same miles, but owned by the NYPD. |

Generally no. It can be hard on tires and struts. And yes If the pilots try to land the plane like they are trapping on a carrier.
The latter case is real rough on lots of things. |

We were landing at Kirtland AFB with a direct 35 knot crosswind in a C-130. According to the charts that put it right on the aircraft limits. Two things were concerning me. The aircraft commander was young and the cargo we were carrying....fissionable material. I was the flight engineer sitting right behind the pilots. While we were about to touchdown I swear my asshole was in my throat. The AC greased it on like it wasn't an issue at all. Nothing to it.

Usually SFI is a smooth landing, unless you happen to have an inexperienced Korean crew. DIA is always an active landing, but not concerningly so. |

Had the high crosswind landing in Orlando. With a warning from the pilot that it would be a hard landing. It was . Opened overhead bins and probably broke parts. The wind was gusty and 30 plus low end.

I will say the longest seconds of my life involved attempting to push the rudder pedal through the floor on a C172 while landing at Brooks county airport.
I hate that airport to this day, however, the FBO has a pistol range and that is kinda cool. |

I flew into Port Alsworth AK a few years ago in a small single engine Cessna. We had to abort our landing a few times due to the high winds. When we did land it was about like the planes in the video, at least 30 degrees diagonal to the landing strip, the engine nearly stalled one time after a huge gust. I was glad to get out of that plane.
