Question:
noticed in some videos wide bodied aircraft handle crosswinds? they'd crap all the way to touch down but would land on one main gear first, rudder straight, then the other, and finally the nose gear comes down. is this intentional or what?
Answers:
how much environmental damage does a 747 have,on a flight from NY to LA?
The preferred way however is to decrab the aircraft just before touchdown by using rudder to align the aircraft with the runway centreline. Once that's achieved, you will have to lower the upwind wing to avoid being blown downwind of the runway. This is why you'll usually see the upwind main gear(s) touch down first.
need to know if age and experience as aircraft mechanic in aviation is a must...?
...... you touch down the side to kill the lift on the wing ...Why don't they make planes out of?
Yes it is normal...the landing gear are designed to be able to land that way (any idea how hard it would be to make sure the plane is perfectly level for landing?) sure there are limits but the wing would probably hit before the limit was reachedIt is normal to land with the windward wing down and the landing gear alligned with the runway. This is called a forward slip. Otherwise the side impact would snap off the landing gear. It is not as noticable on a large airplane because the crosswind has a less relative effect.
Normal%
Are aircraft cargo holds pressurised?
ya, its fine in most planes......the only thing you cant do is land w/ the gear not facing forward.....so sometimes you have to use a bit of aileron to stay center/straight
what is used in jets,planes as fuel?
No that is not normal. But it is acceptable. If both landing gears thouch the ground togheter will cause less stress to the body of the aircraft. The correct way to compensate the wind is put the nose against it enougth to keep path alined with the runway and correct it before touchdown. As these type of aircrafts have a engine under the wings it is not recomended to put a wing down on a landing situation. Normaly it acours because is to dificult to have this level of control in a windy situations.Does anyone know where i can buy a petrol remote control helicopter or plane online?
yes you should land with a wing down futher in the direction of the windwhy dont planes fly into each other?
Yes it is normal in a crosswind landing situation. Go here and see some cool crosswind landings.Propeller Size/Thrust/RPM chart?

Are there other women that are aviation buffs or 'warbird' buffs?
Yes. And crabbing is one method of handling crosswinds. Slipping is another, and then there's the combination method.When airlines order airplanes, what is meant by options?
See it most days with civillian aircraft. Especially in crosswinds. Can't say i've ever seen the likes of fast jets do it though.Yes, in a heavy crosswind. Have seen a video with a 747 doing it, think it was in China, can't remember. But it looked so bad at first you thought it was a crash video. Pretty neat how they handled it.
How can I find plane crash sites in WA/OR/ID area?
its normal but its preferably better to land on both wheels.why do passenger airplanes have a red light on the left wing and a green light on the right wing?
In a crosswind,yes!!How do you activate and use the Tiller on a commercial liner such as a 737,757,767,etc?
Sometimes pilots have the plane tipped over a little and it is just accidental.More Questions & Answers ...
