Azmir I. 1 Report post Posted February 8, 2008 Saw several planes before us took off with a crab attitude... then when we were about to rotate I felt a lateral jerk... Evidences of crosswind in action I guess... Thanks Norman for some photos... One question for the regular pilots... As Capt. Radzi pointed out, you might be caught on camera when weather and sunlight are nice... Do you ever feel self-concious, wanting to perform a smooth landing or beautiful rotation (if there is such thing), knowing the cameras are focused on you/your plane? Does that affect your flight performance? For me,I always follow company SOP and manufacturers FCTM when it comes to Take offs and landings regardless of the weather conditions,its been like that for the past 20 years of my flying career.Any smooth or grizzle landing is a definite plus and bonus.But I cant vouch for that if the FO is doing the Take offs or landings.
