October 29, 201312 yr Hi Folks! Everyone who is interested in approaches at winds of 240/35G55+ may visit the EDDH (Hamburg, Germany) area on October 28th 2013, 1400 UTC. (Works fine with AS2012!) It was so windy at this time that approx. 1500 passengers in 10 A/Cs parked on the ramp weren't allowed to deboard. Common sense of pilots had lead to safety concerns which were followed by the ground operators... Never heard of that before. In EDDH last year they started filling the fuel tanks to keep the planes from shifting positions over the nightly stop overs... I flew a short leg from EHAM to EDDH today (777F, TNT, OO-TSC). 35 to 50 kts on final, but with RWY 23 in use quite a head wind situation. You could try RWYs ILS15 or LOC DME33 for some fun 90° crosswinds from either side. Roll out is the hardest part and taxiing gets quite tricky... Always happy landings, Claus Claus KUEPPER
