On my checkride in 1973 the winds were so bad I couldn’t keep turns around a point anywhere close to a circle. The instructor tried it and did better than I did but he had to put the airplane all the way over on downwind to get it. We came in for a really terrible crosswind o final. The guy said you think you can do this? I aced it. Still didn’t know if I passed because he didn’t tell me. Went into instructor building and my instructor ask if I passed. I said I don’t know. My instructor picked up the phone and called. The guy said it was too windy to do a checkride today but any kid that can nail that bad crosswind passes. Every time I rented a plane from then on at a new place they would call my checkride instructor and he would say yes rent him anything he wants he can fly. Thanks for reminding me of that day.

The Price is Right song for the weak “clear” was a nice touch.

My primary instructor loved taking me out on those terrible, windy, gusty crosswind spring days. We all prefer nice smooth air, but those experiences taught me very early on how to deal with it well. Frustrating at the time, but I really do think she made me a better pilot.

I love this too! I don't get lots of time to watch youtube anymore so I've been catching up and binging on AoA!

Great Job Young Man, Good to see new young pilots enjoying the skies.

Awesome video thanks

Great day to practice x wind techniques...excellent job. Instructors need to do this more often...builds confidence, never know when you may need to land or take off in gusty conditions.

another nice video

He did fantastic! Thanks for the great video and awesome instruction!

Chris, Great job on the video and the cross wind landing training. Always a challenge that will come up. Especially at single runway airports. I deal with them quite a bit at my home airport. So much early on in my training we would have to go to other airports just to make it easier on me sometimes. Hope spring is coming to you in Alaska. Defiantly not here in the UP of Michigan yet.

Flying/Training in this kind of weather has to make a pilot safer. I look forward to a day (hopefully) I get to learn in some of these situations.... thanks for keeping my dream of one day getting my license alive by doing these videos. One day I hope to start the training. For now its MSFS flying for me lol

So awesome
-
Best video yet. Liked different flap settings in relation to speed
-
Crosswind landings are my favorite thing to do in GA

I was doing touch and goes on KEMT el monte socal today and had strong gusty direct crosswinds. Kicked my butt but really good practice. Does not fell natural to land with ailerons not straight.
