SunExpress Aircraft Lands in Stormy Conditions 🌀🛫
Stormy weather and strong winds affecting England and Scotland have made landing conditions challenging at times. A SunExpress Boeing 737 MAX 8, registered TC-SMP, operating flight #XQ598 from Antalya to Edinburgh, was captured on camera landing in difficult weather conditions.
Aircraft are subject to specific operational limits when landing in windy conditions. These limits vary depending on the aircraft type, wind direction and speed, runway conditions, and the airline’s operational procedures.
Crosswinds and sudden changes in wind speed or direction are particularly important factors that pilots must consider during landing. There is no single wind limit applicable to all aircraft, as the limits depend on the aircraft type and prevailing operational conditions.
If wind conditions are unsuitable for landing, pilots may decide to perform a go-around, wait for conditions to improve, or divert to an alternate airport. These decisions are made to maintain flight safety.
