Landing gear hammered in touchdown turbulence
What happens when 120 tonnes of landing Boeing 767 encounters severe turbulence just above the runway (15 at BHX).
The flexing wings are a good indication of the blustery conditions – crosswind gusting 35 knots perpendicular to runway.
Just watch the wheels bouncing in all directions under the shear forces. Very reassuring that the undercarriage can take this sort of punishment without blowing itself to pieces.
