40 knot crosswind landing | EWR-SFO | B787-10

[KSS]

Yesterday I did a transcontinental flight from Newark to San Francisco in a United 787-10. On approach into SFO the wind was literally 19 knot winds with 23 knot gusts which created a roughly 40 knot crosswind for me land in.

Nice! IRL they would have diverted - as I don’t think the 787 is certified to land in 40kt crosswinds.

Thanks. You are right, the max amount of wind is 35 knots for 787

Nice crabbing! You captured some pretty good angles with your pics too.
