Don't wish to prick the balloon but the drift you are having doesn't appear to be commensurate with what I would expect with those winds quoted. There is a direct relationship with crosswind component and groundspeed and crab angle, and you can calculate it, but winds can vary from one end of the runway to the other.. If you use a bit of into wind wing down you reduce the crab but there isn't much of that used.. The crab you need is a good indicator of whether you are getting near your or the aircraft's limit. Your accuracy in achieving centreline alignment is very good. Nev

Nicely done! Though gotta say i would prefer the engine noise and hearing the conversation instead of the music. What are you flying there?

I am flying a 2010 PiperSport.. Love the plane, handles very well.

All this video stuff, sure must make the debrief easy!

Looks like you have got the technique down pat. Well done.

Did a few crosswind landings at KCNO when the winds picked up the other day...

Thanks Kyle, he definitely believes in "demonstration" vs. illustration... :) I feel pretty fortunate that to have experienced some of the maneuvers first hand. Hope you will like and subscribe.. more to come.

Good one guys, can't help yourselves can you.Looks like a real busy big airport with real big aircraft and the real controllers can slot a little puddle jumper in as long as they know how to fly in a real busy airspace.

That seems to take the boring out of circuits.

 

Kregster got some more?

Took an Evektor Sportstar for pattern during our "Santa Ana" winds. The Sportstar is a great LSA and handles very well. This video is about 12 months old and taken prior to me getting my certificate. I really appreciated my CFI letting me experience the "winds"... Runway 1R, tower calls winds 030@25G30. We did three landings and the winds varied on each. Awesome experience!

A 'requested' Short Approach was approved and the long runway was taken for extra precaution. The term "Idiot" I would definitely disagree with. I would agree its not for the less skilled or those with light stomach.

Love my GoPro!

Hello Everyone. Just landed and look forward to learning and sharing. I am out of KSNA and fly a 2010 PiperSport.
