Crazy crosswind landing handled like a champ! In a Cessna 172S

November 2021

So many armchair pilots here. As someone with 25 years flying experience, I learned it’s never my place to judge another aviators skill. You got her on the ground. Nicely done. Live, learn, and keep flying.

Since when did we start steering with two hands? Ugh....this is very dangerous as it reduces your ability to add power which can certainly be even more necessary in a strong xwind situation....

[wheelairrentals]

No way that was 20 kts of Xwind if you stayed on the runway without full yoke into the wind on landing.

One: Approach speed is ridiculously high, never add more than 15 knots for gust factor. Even then 75 would end you up in a mega float like this guy had. Also being at 80 with gusts puts you mighty close to flap limits. Two: Twenty knot crosswind would have you balancing on your upwind wheel for a while after ground contact to make center line. He had no x-wind correction at all after ground contact. Three: slight turbulence to moderate chop at best buddy, you got some love bumps on short final, probably due to the thermals from the road trying to make it over that treeline as they got blown downwind.

Did you just completely let go of the controls after landing in a 'major' crosswind? Good way to get in trouble doing that.

[lordcraycray]

Little to no crab angle and little to no crosswind correction, and on centerline in strong crosswinds. Not to mention that you got to a full stall landing. I would say that the landing was a miracle!

[brucemckelvy]

Never take that hand off the throttle. Two hands are not needed on the yolk in any wind condition if trimmed properly.

[Deanjacob]

Always hated that front wheel rattle. Student pilot me: oh and there goes my landing gear😂

[joshevans]

As a student pilot with an instructor in a 172 I reckon we did a cross wind landing over two times stonger than that. Was pointing about 30 degrees off centreline before the rollout

[fockewolf]

Hand on the Throttle has left the chat.

[josephellis]

I’m a student pilot and I know that the most important time to keep that wind correction in, is at the landing roll.

[josephwolf]

On strong crosswind, you shoudn't use full flaps. It will be easier to keep the plane on the ground after tuchdown and prevent this hop you had shortly after you tuched the runway.

[Sharkx]

Hmmm if that was 20 knot crosswind why are Ailerons not into wind after you have landed?

[diegoramirez]

Ah man this is so upsetting. No crosswind correction after landing, both hands on the yoke, cracy high approach speed.

[luislima]

In 1987 I made a landing in these conditions in a Cessna 172 (PT-CGG) at the Aeroclube de Brasilia SWUZ. I only got it on a third try.

[SuperEdge]

There’s NO WAY that’s a 20 knot cross wind, not even close. More like 5kt.

[kjemad]

what's insane here is the approach speed was actually 80 knots! no wonder you floated like 2000ft

[jotunblod]

That nervous laughter trying to play it cool.

[Kaefermicha]

How to go around when both hands on yoke?

[Dan-cnei]

If there was such a cross wind why doesn't he have the ailerons rolled all the way in and his hands on the control
