WATCH: Another angle of yesterday’s Jet2 Boeing 737-800 (G-JZHE), operating flight LS1310 from Venice, shows the moment it veered off the runway at Birmingham Airport, UK.
Crosswind landings require precise control inputs, especially during the flare and the transition to ground roll.
During the flare, the pilot uses the rudder to align the aircraft’s nose with the runway while applying opposite aileron as needed to prevent the upwind wing from lifting. In this case, right rudder would be required if the aircraft needed to yaw to the right to align with the runway.
Timing is critical. Correcting too early or using the wrong combination of rudder and aileron can cause lateral drift. At touchdown, the aircraft should be aligned as closely as practicable with the runway centerline.
Once on the ground, rudder effectiveness decreases as speed reduces. Nose-wheel steering, linked to the rudder pedals on the 737, helps maintain directional control during the rollout. However, strong crosswinds and sudden gusts can make the aircraft difficult to keep aligned.
Birmingham Airport (BHX) is known for challenging crosswind conditions, and the recent Storm Boelo and Austen affecting the UK made these conditions even more demanding.
Something worth noting: if the pilot transitions from the rudder pedals to the toe brakes and releases some right-rudder input before directional control is fully established, that could affect the aircraft’s alignment. However, the footage alone is not enough to confirm the exact control inputs or establish the cause of the runway excursion.
Had the aircraft struck the elevated runway edge lights or other hard objects, the landing gear tire could have burst immediately! I am sure there are deep cuts on the left main gear tire and some flat spots due to excessive braking.
After such an incident, the crew normally reports the occurrence through the operator’s safety reporting system and files an Air Safety Report. The aircraft would also require an appropriate inspection before returning to service, with the extent of the checks determined by the event and the applicable maintenance procedures. The CAA will be involved locally.
I have seen instances where, after an incident, pilots simply park the aircraft at the gate and leave without filing a report to cover themselves, which is bad practice. During inspection, maintenance finds out, and then they are in trouble.

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! THE WORLD NEEDS TO HEAR THIS. 🇦🇺 🇫🇷 🇮🇹 🇬🇧 🇩🇪 I AM A CHRISTIAN. I AM AN AUSTRALIAN. AND I WILL NOT BE SILENCED.
From the streets of Paris and Rome to London, Berlin and Sydney, foreign conflicts are fuelling divisions that have NO place in peaceful communities.
There is not 1 flag on this earth that gives anybody the right to break the laws of the country in which they stan. Our nations are not battlegrounds for the world's historical wars.
It's time for world leaders to stop offering empty words and start delivering real solutions. responsible immigration, meaningful integration, equal enforcement of the law and protection of our national freedoms. My Christian faith teaches me to love my neighbour. It does NOT teach me to surrender to intimidation.
THE WORLD NEEDS PEACE, NOT IMPORTED CONFLICT!

Media Release: One Nation invited Australians to build an ambitious future
One Nation is launching ‘What’s Holding You Back?’ to give Australians a direct say in the policies it takes to the next election.
One Nation leader Senator Pauline Hanson said the new website would give Australians the opportunity to have their say and to share their experiences and ideas to help shape an ambitious plan for our country.
“Politicians have stopped listening. One Nation has not,” Senator Hanson said.
“Too many politicians care more about keeping their jobs than doing their jobs. Governments only look to the next election and there’s no long-term vision for the country. Australians deserve better than this, and they deserve for their voices to be heard.
“We’re asking a simple question. What’s holding you back? You. Your family. Your business. Our country.
“Tell us what’s wrong and what needs to change. The costs you can’t keep up with. The rules that make no sense. The delays stopping you from getting ahead.
“And bring us your ideas. The people dealing with these problems every day deserve a say in how we fix them.”
Senator Hanson said One Nation wanted Australia to be a country of ambition and opportunity.
“This country isn’t broken. It’s being held back by an incompetent Labor government. One that only knows how to tax and tie everything up in red tape. This Labor government recklessly experiments with the economy, and has driven the price of everything up.
“We want an Australia that makes things again. That stands on its own two feet. That backs businesses and rewards people prepared to take a risk.
“We have the resources, the skills and the people. We need affordable power, lower taxes and less red tape so Australians can get on with it.
“We want hard work to get you ahead. We want young Australians to afford a home and a family. And we want to hand our children a better country than the one we inherited.
“One Nation will take an ambitious plan to the next election.
“This is your country, and we want to hear from you. Australians can share their experiences and ideas at https://t.co/6xBD60iEa1.”

@GiorgiaMeloni : „In Italien entsteht ein neuer Straftatbestand: die gewalttätige Teilnahme an einer Demonstration.
Konkret heißt das: Wenn Sie sich während eines Zuges oder einer Demonstration einer Gruppe von fünf oder mehr Personen anschließen, Steine, Böller oder Stöcke werfen und die Sicherheit aller gefährden, riskieren Sie bis zu fünf Jahre Gefängnis und bis zu 20.000 Euro Geldstrafe. Wenn Sie das Gesicht bedeckt hatten oder jemand verletzt wurde, steigt die Strafe. Auch die Strafen für diejenigen, die in der Gruppe verwüsten, werden erhöht.
Der präventive Arrest (fermo preventivo) kann künftig auch auf Minderjährige angewendet werden
Wer etwas zerstört, zahlt – und wenn ein Minderjähriger etwas zerstört, zahlen seine Eltern. Bei Schäden an öffentlichem Eigentum (Bushaltestelle, Ampel, Polizeifahrzeug) schickt der Präfekt einen Zahlungsbescheid nach Hause. Bei Schäden an privatem Eigentum (Schaufenster, Geschäft, Auto) geht der Eigentümer zum Richter und erhält einen sofort vollstreckbaren Zahlungsbefehl.“
When I first saw that someone had posted this, I didn't believe it was real.
So I tested it myself on Google.
It's real.
Try it yourself before they "fix" it...
París, Francia, ni una sola bandera francesa aparece en las supuestas protestas estudiantiles.
Solo se ven banderas de entidades islámicas.
Esto demuestra que no son protestas de estudiantes, sino manifestaciones islamistas.
This is what happens when multiculturalism, open borders, soft-on-crime policies, and systems that teach people to resent their country’s history collide
The despair of a Parisian - pleading with the feral smooth brains not to destroy her store
The death rattle of Paris as western civ breathes its last gasps.
Notre Dame was no accident. It was the beginning of the end.
Well, that was wild. I'm at the Australian Parliament and just left a meeting with two staffers for the governing party. They told us that the government needed more power to censor things like the upcoming US execution of Nidal Hasan.
When I asked why they needed to censor that video, one said it was to prevent copycat killings. Copycat killings by governments? I asked. Er, no, they said. Copycat killings like of a backpacker, several decades ago.
So, under that logic, I pointed out, the government should censor things like last year's Bondi massacre, where two Muslims killed 15 people, no? Well, that was news, they said. Didn't they realize their bill would allow the government to censor news? They didn't seem to know, or care.
They also admitted that they did not know that the bill would allow the government to create and operate an unlimited number of fake social media accounts to attack its political enemies and spread disinformation. Having presented them with information they had never heard about a bill they had clearly not read, they emphasized to us, strenuously, that they were moving forward with the bill.
So there you have it. The government wants the power to arbitrarily censor scenes of violent crime, or violence, for any reason. And it wants the power to use an unlimited number of fake accounts to wage offensive disinformational warfare against the Australian people.
Given that the Bondi massacre last year increased public opposition to mass migration, and support for the populist One Nation Party, it seems obvious that the government wants to censor such events in order to protect its political power.
It's quite telling how obediently governing party members insist such a law is needed without even knowing what's in it.
Ever wondered why PM Albanese is so ill-advised? Like does anyone advise him. I did the research, strap yourself in. For context Labor legend PM Bob Hawke had 15 staff in his PM office.
