Passenger captures hairy landing at Wellington Airport during Cyclone CookYou can't beat Wellington wind on a bad day. A passenger on board an Air New Zealand flight from Auckland to Wellington has captured the moment the plane descended into the capital as Cyclone Cook bore down on the country. Twitter/Max Havaux Passenger Max Havaux captured the hair-raising landing at Wellington Airport. In the windiest conditions, most often during crosswinds, a problem known as "wingstrike" may also occur, when a wing hits the runway on landing. This could cause a plane to land land late and fast, and potentially overshoot the runway, or land far too early.
