Delta Flight Crashes at Toronto Airport

It's not fair. You're a victim.

 

I noticed that too when I first saw the video, if it had been a small aircraft I would have questioned nose being too low but not being a jet pilot I really didn't know what the attitude should be. Looks like I was wrong on my guess on the crosswind. I was thinking from the left but just saw where it was from the right. I couldn't see that the plane was crabbing to the right.

 

Think he was too far down the runway to use more flaring and when you crab you have to touch down when you get there. Flaring in a crosswind would also seem to magnify the cross as you slowed and lost forward momentum. Hard to hold the crab in a gusting cross wind so get to center and get to ground is what I was taught..18 years since last touchdown..damn. got busy, fished and traveled a lot more. I don't think pilot did anything wrong unless he had landing gear warning signs he missed or ignored. Max stress on structural parts are when you identify failure points.

Plane was full. Winter time. Was it max weight at landing?
