Just saw this picture of LH A320 D-AIQP landing during a storm today at HAM and thought it would be worth to share it:

http://www.aviation-community.de/for...92f3cc637bbcfeacb501b0ee1233#36618

(please go down to entry no 14)

They say that at least on winglet was destroyed, maybe even both of them.

By the way, thank you to the photpgraphers of Aviation community Nord for not only keeping us updated about the situation in XFW but also showing such amazing pictures.

Wow... That picture looks amazing!

There could well be structural damage to the wing...

(I hope its not a PSP, fake!)

Wouldn't surprise me one bit, the weather up here in Denmark has been quite stormy as well. Heck, I even heard they had cancelled a Bundesliga-game somewhere as they were concerned about a hurricane developing  Wow!

Holy Sh1t!

Must have caught a gust from the right during flaring, look spretty ugly. Luckily, the engine didnt touch the ground, or did it?

They did indeed. We had lots of wind here aswell, and at least two flights from ZRH to Germany returned to ZRH after failed approaches.


Pilots, Swiss Made.

In the thread is stated the plane lost at least its left winglet (wingfence).



And yes, you are right CPH-R, they cancelled Cottbus - Stuttgart; stormwarning.

Ouch, what will happen to her? A simple replacement of the winglet or the wing and winglet? I give the pilots kudos for landing her in that kind of weather. LH does train its pilots very well so hats off to them for saving the day.

That looks fake to me - the right main gear especially shows some flat edges which makes me think it has been cut out of another picture.

They reported up to 94KM/H or about 60mph winds around 2pm in HAM. Nasty.

It looks fake. Look at the right wing fence. The bottom half is missing.

On the other hand, one could argue that it is very real. Look at the left engine and fuselage casting a shadow on the runway. There is also a reflection of either the left wing or left elevator on the aircraft tail.

From the Aviation Community Norddeuschland board:

"hab grad mit nem Kollegen und Freund aus der Wartung telefoniert der grad Dienst hat, er hat die Kiste bearbeitet:
Wingtip komplett verbogen nach oben, untere Hälfte des Winglet ist nach inboard gebogen ca. 45 Grad, Slat ist angeschliffen...sonst alles ok!"


which is:

Just called a colleague and friend who is on duty in maintenance, he has worked on the AC:

wingtip completely bent upwards, lower half of winglet bent inboard at about 45 degrees, slat partly grounded. No further damage.

Apparently, the video is not available anymore.

If you search on YouTube for "EDDH A320 crosswind" you will still get the link of the video with a thumbnail, but the video itself is gone...).

It's there, you have to look carefully.

Besides, reply # 17 just confirmed it as being real.

Oh my god, holy smoke! That video is definitely no fake! A Go Around.

Comment of the videographer:
Das ging beinahe in die Hose. ich glaube, dass die das hier bald einstellen.

(That's been almost a complete flop. I think they will very soon stop this here.)
