NWA 757 Go-Around at SEATAC - high winds. VIDEO

P.i.o.

And how exactly do you know that? Aside from the fact that you're obviously a condescending, conceited, superpilot, know-it-all jacka**?

What did the winds get up to yesterday in Seattle?

According to the Interweb news, 69 MPH @ Seatac, a new record.

Down here in Oregon, I heard two of my neighbor's big pine trees fall down, fortunately in his yard so I don't have to dust off my chainsaw!

I was out at my local aerodrome last night @ 1930 and the wind was strong enough to pick up pebbles off the concrete ramp and throw them -hard- at my windshield.

I went home.

Call us back when you have flown something larger than a 737, ok?

That NW go around was Wednesday. I saw it on the 11pm news Wed night. The winds didn't really kick up until Thursday and Thursday night. Overall a lousy two days for flying.

I wouldn't be surprised if some don't sue for mental anguish or something stupid like that.

farmin, You are right, yesterdays high winds are not related to the video if the video was taken Wednesday. Take another look at rudder and aileron/spoiler inputs on both approaches. When my copilot insisted it was turbulence causing his problems one day I paid a lot of attention to his inputs and how closely they matched the unstable arrival.

Had a similar event at MDW a few years ago. I can relate to the situation they were in. Nice job guys!

Why don't you pay close attention to this video and note the large trees twisting in the wind. I don't know the exact winds during this landing, but it sure looks strong.
