Nope, not a wise course of action.

Good call Fox. If the plane was getting that beat up it could have been a matter of time before the pax were getting hurt too.

A few weeks back I was arriving into Omaha and we had been in touch with dispatch and flightwatch and thought we would be ok... while on the approach the field reported 55+ gusts. Needless to say we did some creative vectoring of our own and after a liitle while landed in vrb @ 3 winds

Landed in DEN not too long ago with reported 50 kts of wind...I certainly believe it! I've never seen the CRJ yoke displaced from neutral because of wind...! They were back to their full travel...I remember from my days on the ERJ that the yoke, in that situation, could conceivably break a wrist or two or three.

I suppose the hydraulics dampen the wind/gusts enough that you don't get the same jarring as the JungleJet...
