rather extreme xwinds.. Isn't that a bit rough on the tires?

I cannot translate I'm afraid, but I would guess it is Portuguese, not
Spanish.
The website has a .br domain, which is probably Brazil.

First thing: No, it's portuguese... ;-) Then the second thing: even when it
looks quite rough it's not so uncommon. I remember to have seen this footage
before during my active career. It's derived from Boeing's certification
program to demonstrate crosswind capabilites. Remember: the manufacturer
does usually not issue crosswind limits. They are just "demostrated"
crosswind components. The limirts are usually set by the companies.
It is obvious that these shots were taken with a impressive tele-lens. So
the crab looks much more impressive than it actually is. I would guess it to
be around 15°. And before we start a long thread again ;-) (I remember that
subject being covered last year) I can tell you that heavies are landed with
no or only minor decrabbing to avoid banking on touchdowm. There's not much
clearance left under the engines..... No checking on the tyres required.
It's a common practise ;-))))

That's funny, I was just going to post a question to that effect to you.
You saved me the trouble. :-)

sounds like not a big deal for tire wear.. a side component that is.

I read that in postings and articles about 747's landing at the old
Kai-Tak airport in Hong Kong. And have come across that info at
various other sites. If I find some, I'll post them.

The C-5A main gear actually turns 90° before retraction. Whether it
can swivel to align with the runway heading is another story.

The Boeing 777's bogies are designed to turn to they can go around tight
corners while taxiing, much like some military and contruction trucks.
Perhaps they can also be turned to accomodate those crabs we witnessed in
the clips.

After flying the simulators on the larger planes it become very evident that
banking the big guys during flare out creates issues

When I have trouble downloading a video I right click and choose "OPEN
WITH" and choose a different player. As it's playing you can right
click and SAVE AS.
