So, being a Trustee of our wonderful charity wasn’t enough, Ely had to go and write not1️⃣not 2️⃣but3️⃣ books set in the Scottish Highlands near where she took her first flying lesson at Plockton Airstrip. If you don’t buy it - you’ll never hear the end of it! Congratulations🥂😘✈️

BOSH! A350 HARD LANDING 😮
CX239 from Hong Kong smokes the mains on Rwy 27L during crosswinds at London Heathrow. Watch as the opposite inertia kicks the 230 tonne flying machine all over the place. A real battle between pilot and machine to get that thing straightened up with the rudder - Pilot won it 💪🏻 The direction that thing was facing once they’d caught it, I seriously thought they would Go-Around. Pilots were saying after the show, and I completely understand, that ‘this footage doesn’t replicate the turbulence we experience in the last 2 miles of approach’. I’ve been a passenger during strong winds on approach. Seeing the wing flexing and the flight surfaces going crazy, I imagine the pilots up-front in complete calm: Aircraft crabbing, NFP calling-out the numbers, picking their moment to go manual, one hand on the Thrust Levers, expecting those last-second gusts. Even during a landing like this, you’d be surprised to see just how calm the pilots are when it’s all going-on
