just had something like this the other day as a relatively new student pilot. certainly was exciting, felt like a rollercoaster climbing and descending into the circuit. near direct crosswind of 15 gusting 22 knots. Super wild but somehow those two landings were some of my best ones, just left of centreline on my second landing. definitely an experience

I thought VFR above a layer without having a current IR was not allowed. VFR on top is a IFR procedure.

Interesting! I was doing couple takeoff-landings exersises with my instructor using Cessna 172P in 17kts with gusts 27kts with a wind direction 30 ° to runway. Was not fun, but how otherwise you can learn how to do it properly?

I've been in some bad air. I've come to like x wind landings

My last training flight was 18G29 VRB, and it was quite a time. We flew in a 30-degree crab to mainain course the entire flight. As you said, it was quite an interesting feeling. I had 6 landings, and it felt completely unnatural every time. I'm glad i got to experience it with my CFI before my solo(17 hours total)

I know a guy who landed a Cessna 150 with 30 knots of gusting crosswind (x-wind component was 23 knots). His checklist was Balls - check Plane - check

When I did my solo, had no idea of the existence of cross winds And since I only flew four times with the instructor, and there's it was never discussed, but I surely found out about them when landing The plane had to be totally sideways to keep it on top of the runway and I was scared thinking it would roll when touching down, but since I had no choice, and landed, and saw that nothing happened, but that was after about an hour of going round and round Thank God. Now I do crop spraying, and you got to master touching down at the very beginning, since most times, I land on dirt roads, this is in Mexico, since I asked for permission, and sometimes it's pretty windy, and I got to land on the side of water canals, and sometimes it does get kind of tricky to stay on those pretty thin roads, about two and the half meters wide, with the water on one side and a drop and rocks and little bushes, and got to be on the lookout for cows, and all kinds of animals and birds, never had any accidents, yet, but one morning, there was this guy on a bicycle, and I had the sun in front, and I was on the ground already slowing down, when I see him about 40 feet away, I just put full flaps, and went to one side, barely missing some big rocks on the side, passed the guy, and barely made it back, almost went down on the side,on top of the bushes and all the other stuff.

gffgh

This is an old one, not sure why it showed up in my feed today other than that perhaps because my neighbor just died this past week from the same form of brain cancer and his funeral is today. I am very sorry to hear of your loss. If any other pilots read this, one thing to consider about VFR over-the-top: My rule is when doing it, I never pass one hole in the clouds unless I have another in sight. I.e. I won't fly over top of a solid overcast. It's a really easy rule to help ensure you don't end up in a situation like this.

This guy is a complete badass pilot. I’d fly with a blindfold on with him and I’m a cfIi

Rudder!!

My home airport! Brings back lots of good memories. Also flew out of K34.

I had my jaw dropped when I seen this - it's EXACTLY what happened to me today! I am PPL under 100 hours and I love go flying as often as possible in the x-wind. I fly diesel PA-28. X-wind was about 15 knots gusting 18. So my first circuit was meh, I overshoot on base, on short final I felt I am too high and too fast, and by the numbers I went around crabbing on my upwind. Second approach was way better and I landed on a stall warning, but there was a feeling that I am going much faster. So I chickened out and made it a full stop :) We have a grass runway with no markings, I so wish I had camera to see how I was on final and if I touched down with a correct main first... Respect to you, great video - we must do this practicing as it's the only way to learn. I will definetely pick some very windy day and go doing ccts with the more experienced pilot in my right seat :)

Thanks for sharing...I know the feeling! I'm a fellow student pilot and will never forget landing the Cessna 172 in a 12G21KTS crosswind (solo) for the first time. Your camera and video comments were very helpful, so please keep up the good work.

awesome camera configuration! being able to see both the outside and the gauges + yoke/rudder inputs is super helpful!

Gain more runway on crosswind landings and take-offs by not focusing on centerline but correct either left of right of centerline in case a gust does knock you off desired course

Wind is 30 degrees off runway heading shouldn't have caused much of a problem.

Great job!!!

The in the tower sounds exactly like our ATC at Glendale Airport GEU.

Isn’t 15 knots demonstrated the maximum crosswind component for a Cessna 172? At 90 degrees that must have exceeded that. I would not have flow that day lol. I’m too chicken. You did a great job though.

Come to Kansas. This is a normal day of flying as a student pilot haha. But thank you man for the video! Seeing a private pilot make the same mistakes I make as a student pilot at 50 hours on to PPL makes me realize I don’t need to be so hard on myself. As long as you understand a mistake and correct for it, that’s what is important. Nice video man

well done!!

yep, nailed it.

i have zero flight hours just got into sims and hope to get my private pilots license in the future if i can afford it and i gotta say just watching stuff like this on youtube is very intimidating. Looks like it takes quite a bit of practice, godspeed.

You can pop the 10 degrees flaps abeam the numbers to make the turns safer at bit lower speeds, then on final remove the flaps. CFI trick.

How did you attach the camera to the plane, thanks!

Pretty much everyday where I live into 2000 foot island strip. Did my checkride in worse weather. Gusting 20 is really nothing

I was saddened to learn of your husband's passing in the updated description. I am sorry for your loss. I hope you guys are doing well. He is definitely flying high now. Rest in Peace, Eddie.

Are you capable of IFR flight? "Negative" And that's the last anyone ever heard from Skyhawk 2WK.....

Maximum demonstrated is 15kts in the 172

Nice landing, however, used up A LOT of runway !

No way man. HELP. You take over...Someone better get up here and get me down !

useful vid, thanks for sharing

American guys are mainly whistles they fly as bad as they drive. In europe we are laughing about them. Go around ? With 9 kt x-wind on a rwy like this ? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 moron alarm !! Tröt tröt tröt

If you could touch down in a crab in a small plane (as many airliners can), flying the final in a crab would make sense. But you can't, you'll have a ground loop or destroy the undercarriage of a small plane doing that. To my thinking, this makes a side slip on final for small planes more stable and doable than coming in on a crab angle and hoping to kick out the crab at the last second before touchdown. But everyone finds their own way.

You have balls the size of coconuts 🥥. Then you laugh about the danger your in.I would be screaming for my life 😱. God speed Sir.

🥱

On a gusty crosswind I just think I made it back alive. 20kt gusts in a 172 is frankly above what I would consider acceptable to atempt the landing nowadays, only usefull for educational purpouses only really. You did very nice job honestly. Just one piece of advice dont go trying this all the time.

Did you have your private pilots license at this time? If not do you still have to pay for the instructor when flying solo as a pilot

Nice video with the two camera angles. Your talking was helpful too. You did good. Thanks for sharing.

Aviation 101 after smoking several packs of cigarettes.

You are doing a great job. As you slow down you use more control input to the point of the stops while side slipping at which time if the aircraft continues to drift downwind you are exceeding the maximum crosswind component and a crab must be introduced(like you see airliners due to long low wings they can't slip due to runway impact potential). You are really proving this point as you do touch and go's. In landing you have the controls maxing out in flair, touchdown. and rollout so the transition is laterally resisted by progressively increasing weight on the tires and rudder directional with ailerons locked fully into the wind. Drifting on rollout is usually due to not fully locking the aileron into the wind or momentarily backing off during the transition of weight onto the tires and not staying on-top of the rudder to maintain center-line. Consider the rotation and approach speeds with increased by half of the gust as a rule of thumb. Easy to say but you are doing so many corrections at once all you can do is what you are doing and fly as many T and G's in different conditions as you can. Usually if there are several runways you can request a crosswind runway if the tower isn't too busy...instant crosswind. Pretty soon you won't want wind straight down the runway because it's boring.

flat landing...WRONG

Get your IFR ticket... It will save your a** more times than you know

New viewer of this video. I'm sure he's doing perfect cross wind landings right now up there in the sky talking aviation with someone.

KOJC is where I did my primary training and experienced plenty of those X winds there. Good stuff. I enjoyed watching it.

the auto captions on this are gold

Has the strongest crossing today I was doing laps around the pattern. May i say I feel like my calm winds will be perfect
