Can you stick to the Runway Centerline?

On this video the first aircraft, an Airbus A320 family type, is lined up with the centerline but during the touchdown the aircraft goes very much to the left of that centerline while the second aircraft, a Boeing 747, touches down very nicely on the centerline and then later on the runway it veers left.
This video was filmed at London's Gatwick Airport.

This is why a good runway design is important. Big international airports have long and wide runways to allow for some directional control margin in the event of less than desirable conditions. The airbus pilot recovered it, so no problem there.
-
Regardless of the wind conditions, you should always maintain the centerline. Especially with multi engine aircraft, you run the risk of ingesting FOD into the engines. When taxiing in windy conditions, pilots are trained to use the control surfaces to counter act the wind. Doesn't matter if it's a C172 or a 747. 👍 Like it or hate it. I don't care. Lol

That must have been a wild ride in that A320 wow. The 747 is menacing staring head on with it.
-
That was some intense weather to land in. Liked
-
That´s my landing in p3d v4 in a stable weather lolz
-
It seems to be very windy (wind from the left in pilot's perspective / right from in our perspective). So your question is not fair at all in these two events.

Tbf, a runway is wide to account for cross winds and conditions that might mean maximising the width when you need it. Center line is a nice place to be, but costs a lot more in Comfort to the passengers trying to keep it 100% of the time in gusty conditions. Better to use what you've got when you need it. A landing that isn't on the line can be better than one that is!
-
It is very important to align the direction of the airplane with the center line of the runway. This is because if the runway center line deviates much, the plane will go to the lawn and an accident will occur. My plane is C208, which is much smaller than a passenger plane, but I try to keep the runway centerline at all times.
-
It might be due to the winds... the a320 is a smaller plane and easily beers off course. While the mighty 747 stays on the centerline!
-
Flare, let your rear wheels touch down, then use rudder to straighten the nose before allowing the nose wheel to touch down. The problem with assessing the first aircraft's pilot performance is that we don't know if they simply slammed the nose down or a gust of wind did it for them. I'm assuming an unexpected downdraft, since crosswind landings are pretty commonly flown in the simulator during training.
-
do you have the METAR for that time? In the film looks like it is marginally above minimums
-
Hard to maintain the jet in the center when wind conditions are rough.. I’m sure that 1st jet would perfectly stay aligned in the center if there wasn’t any crosswinds.
-
Must have been difficult conditions to land
-
When I instructed I’d always act super surprised and concerned “what’s this massive line to my right on the runway????”
-
heavy crosswinds omg
-
it depends on the wind conditions.
-
That must be the mother of all cross-winds, lol.
-
Centreline control is important, especially on a contaminated runway. IMHO correct crosswind inputs become more important the larger the plane is. Keep “flying” the plane all the way down to taxi speed with into-wind aileron and rudder.
-
ILS to minimums? Really tough because you are IMC and tracking the needles(GS and Course Guidance) and then you break out. Hopefully you see the MALSR light??? If not then Missed Approach.

Justplanes you guys are awesome I still wish you allowed people to buy your videos on DVD HD
