10 kts, bone dry at LAX OK sure whatever. But not in snow country in the winter.
i think the problem was landing on a contaminated runway with a large crosswind component. Not the minor tailwind portion of an almost direct cross gusting to 25 knots. They didn’t go off the end. Anyone know if that type A/C has limitations on crosswinds with contamination? All the airplanes I’ve flown do.
