Airbus A380 Crosswind Landing Flight Test
Icelandic TV station video (language is Icelandic) during Airbus A380 crosswind landing certification tests in Keflavik with 40 to 50 knot crosswinds. Technique is to fly crabbed down to flare height then "kick" (gently) the rudder to align the nose. Some crab at touchdown is acceptable and will be cancelled as the main gear also align the bird with the runway. Sounds easy dosn't it? Notice the flight control laws only allow the lower rudder until the aircraft is on the ground, then both upper and lower rudders are controlled by the autopilot during AutoLand operations or by the rudder pedals. This logic helps prevent unwanted roll from the upper rudder due to its placement being so far away from the longitudinal axis of the aircraft.
Airbus A380 crosswind landing test at Brest
Airbus came on september 20 and 21, 2006 at Brest Bretagne Airport to perform crosswind landing test on Rwy 25L. The prototype Falcon 7X also came in. Here is the wind on those days : 180° 25G45KT (full crosswind !!). What an unbelievable feeling when I saw this big bird on our regional airport. Thanks so much Airbus for all those tests at Brest !!! Great show !
