Youtube is replete with crosswind landings from Germany

Yeah and ya know what the DON'T show?

All the Lufthansa pilots banging it on going waaay too fast and then jamming on the binders.

First time it happened I thought, just a bad landing. Kid musta been a bit aggressive.

After about 10 of them now like that, I'm convinced that it's either a) bad training or b) part of the LH PFM that tells them to do it that way for whatever goofy reason they have.

After all the stuff in the cabin that isn't tied down ends up plastered against the forward bulkhead you want to tell the PF that he's an idiot.

Video tape that!!

As my husband basically said to his FO, “when you fly a VIP plane with diplomats, you don’t land like that (moron).” He’s had to land at some of those dicey airports, which isn’t great for my grey hair when he does it so infrequently, but then if he weren’t a really good pilot, he wouldn’t have the job he does. The video was a yawn for me, also being a pilot.

Lufthansa pilots are probably trained to land under power, especially at EDDL. Getting high bypass turbofans to produce sufficient thrust takes time for a go around. I do like how the PF touched down up wind of the centerline.

I have asked a crew or two, if they get to log 2 landings at KLAS.
