Heavy Rain Landing Hong Kong - Boeing 747-400 Cockpit

With all of the rain in Sydney (YSSY) and around the world, my thoughts turned to how would you land an B744 in a rain squall & located this video. According to all of the Approach checklists i located the flight crew have to carry out a normal approach checklist but wondered whether you needed to do CON IGN (Continuous ignition) when in a rain squall or any other primary actions.Any comments?

The beauty of the B747 flight deck is the simplicity of it`s arrangement as the PF (Pilot Flying) carries out the landing from the PFD (Primary Flight Display) maybe occassionally scanning the WXR (Weather radar paint) to remain focused on task.

This week I`ve done the same setup on my Aerowinx simulator with success while throwing in an crosswind component as well. What is most important in a heavy rain lsnding scenario is technique & whether to apply a "crossed aileron"  or"aileron plus opposite rudder" in an crosswind or difficult wind conditions. I would appreciate hearing from any of our blog visitors about their experiences.
One of the QF 744`s this week had to abandon an approach on Runway 07 due to undershoot shear with 2 miles to go & landed on the second attempt after using both techniques.

One of the major benfits of Aerowinx is we have the capacity to continually improve our skills and challenge ourselves without harming any freight, passengers, or members of the public.

Do you have any stories from landing in any heavy rain squalls? Please let me know.

Till next tiem,
