A380 swinging on Ground

Support

Hello! On the ground at Houston today, my A380 was slowly but noticeably wobbling from side to side (both on the taxi in and when parked at the gate). I’ve seen this happen a few times (as far as I can remember ONLY in the A380) but not for a while to be fair. I’ve shared a google drive link for the clip! The only other posts I can find are to do with the aircraft swinging during cruise when people fly too high while being too heavy. Let me know if I can provide any other details to help and thanks in advance!

Hello! It was wobbling because of that wind!

Your landing had a really nice flare btw! The A380 is tricky to land perfectly.

As @Veloist said above, it’s the strong wind. But that landing! PERFECTION, I could never get it to be that good!

Thanks all, I didn’t realise 24kts was enough to have that effect!

I’m also super happy with the landing ahah, although the nose came down a bit too fast

No worries, the controlled drop of the nose gear is the hardest part of bringing down the A380 smoothly!
