Airport Dog is so right in his comment. You don t know a single the fact concerning this landing. The report of the BFU (the german NTSB) stated, that all people ivolved in this incident did no MISTAKE.

One of the main problems, was the fact that the main gear had already touched down. So the computer switched from flight to ground mode, so the pilots were for 3,5s not able to bank here any angle… So they weren t able to do perform the wind correction needed at this point and

that s why the plane became a toy of the wind.

As soon as they were completly back again in the air, they gained back full control of the aircraft.

So, next time I suggest you to collect the corret information before writing an article and to state some oppinios that lacking the truth!!!

Just have a look here, you ll find the complete report in english

So, this test pilot did it wrong too http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i5pGlw4o3Ks ? Or is landing a A380, 737, Cesna and a Microlight the same? I doubt they behave the same even in your Microsoft Flight Simulator sir.

There's no doubt in anyone's mind that using an airline miles credit card to manage your finances can quickly add up to big savings and superior benefits – especially when it comes to those coveted and ever useful free airline miles. However, with the business of credit becoming more and more competitive all the time, pinpointing the absolute best program out there can sometimes be a chore… at least it can be if you have no idea what to look for in your program of choice.

Landing as aircrew in Shemya, AK in a P-3 Orion, we had a 35kt crosswind component. The pilot was one of the better sticks in the squadron and nailed it first time, no damage, no problem.
