Canadian Xpress November 2016 Challenge – Crosswinds

CXA_Nove_2016_ChallengeWe have all seen the countless YouTube videos of the crazy crosswind landings at Birmingham Airport. Well it’s your turn to try your hand at it.

Birmingham Airport (EGBB) formerly Birmingham International Airport is located 5.5 nautical miles (10.2 km; 6.3 mi) east southeast of Birmingham city centre, at Bickenhill in Solihull, England. It has a CAA Public Use Aerodrome Licence (Number P451) that allows flights for the public transport of passengers or for flying instruction. Passenger throughput in 2015 was over 10.1 million, making Birmingham the seventh busiest airport in the UK. The airport offers both domestic flights within the UK, and international flights to destinations in Europe, the Middle East, the Indian subcontinent, North America and the Caribbean. Birmingham Airport is an operating base for Flybe, Monarch, Ryanair, Thomas Cook Airlines, and Thomson Airways. From March 2017 the airport will be a base for Jet2.com.

Strangely enough the airport is 48% owned by the Ontario (Canada) Teacher’s Pension Plan.

This month, the challenge is to pick your favorite Canadian Xpress® jet aircraft and depart from Dusseldorf (EDDL) Germany’s 3rd largest airport that can handle aircraft as large as the Airbus A380 and fly to Birmingham Airport (EGBB).
