It seems the harder glideslope there, is still unusual to the pilots.

No matter how steep the glidescope is, that should not happen:]

Then again, that was one heck of a wind, and I would be glad if I got down at all!

And to think that I actually fly Swiss into LCY more than 6 times per year...
I've had some windy landings but the worst was a similar one on rwy28 into LSZH!!!
Nonetheless, when you've got this wind near to the heading taking-off the bird starts flying incredibly quickly!!!
