Crosswind Landings [1080-HD]

[@poc7667]

Best instructor ever! So clear and precise~ not too wordy

[@ClearedAsFiled]

Great explanation and analysis... Thanks.. Never too late to mentally prepare for crosswind landings!!!

[@jrandallsexton]

Great video, Garry!

[@piper0428]

Great video. Excellent presentation.

[@jaypaulbusch]

You always make great videos.

[@barcacrazy99]

These videos are great. I love the short and concise five minute yet detailed explanations. One thing I would change is the camera angle to the right seat which shows the propeller from an angle but it’s not giving a real person view. Maybe if the camera was towards the center or directly perpendicular to the cowling midpoint

This was a great one. Thanks

[@AceOfHearts001]

Fantastic video, thanks!

[@chloeferrry8223]

Thank you Gary!!!

[@BrianEdlin]

Nice in the plane video!

[@luke_atthat]

Very good video. Thank you for this serie. I apply it with my RC bush plane, 1,5m wingspan Turbo Timber in Montreal, QC, Canada! ! And I practice it also on RealFlight 8 simulator. Thank you again for the great tips.

Personally I really prefer a crab until just before touch down and then “kick out the crab” and cross control as needed to remain centered. This works great in a tricycle geared aircraft.

Thank you Sir; for this great video...

[@flat_stickproductions209]

I am a new pilot (15 hrs) and cross winds are my worst performance area. I am in a tail wheel Champ and they really move you around. When I am in the 172 I could be flying in a hurricane and not notice. The tail wheel experience really goes far with feeling what the aircraft is doing and the wind around you. I would suggest learning on a tail wheel first for any new pilot, it wont hurt you.

good video!

this was great.

Hi, I practice couple crosswind landing these day. I notice that my plane jump easily when I touch down. And when I try to focus on use opposite rudder. It is difficult to flare.

[@jvdeguitomedia]

How do I overcome that feeling of vertigo when I do forward and side slips? It feels as if I am falling whenever I bank to the left and use the rudder to the right... It kinda sucks but I really need to do it for my check ride :(

[@tylerhosler8372]

Wouldn’t a side slip on a long final put you in much more danger of a spin? Cross controlling is uncoordinated as you said, and I realize you can’t spin if you don’t stall but what if something uncontrollable happened like a wind shear or a drastic wind shift?

[@GarryWing]

No; you're confusing a SLIP with a SKID. You're more likely to spin from Straight & Level flight, than you are in slip. Rich Stowell's excellent "Stall & Spin Awareness" book will help clear up this common misunderstanding.

[@林俊华-l8t]

Hi, I have a problem when I use side slip to land, when I start flare, the aircraft tend to yaw to opposite direction.

[@GarryWing]

You're using too much rudder (in the direction of the yaw), or not enough rudder (in the other direction). The rudder requires differential pressure on the pedals (more left/less right, more right/less left), so if the nose is not pointed down the runway, but is "yawing" as you say, then those are not the control pressures you want. Try smoother, smaller rudder inputs that are the result of developing a "feel" for what the airplane is doing, rather than mechanical inputs. (Keep in mind, you almost always need more Right rudder in the flare; the result of P-factor and spiraling slipstream at low speed/high pitch angle...)

[@AviatorFox]

I am a new student pilot and I find these videos very helpful. The video you had on slow flight was more helpful then the entire chapter the the FAA's Airplane Flying Handbook. Thanks for the help!

[@427SuperSnake1]

It's too bad your not in Northern California. I could use a flight instructor who is sure he wants to teach rather than being a hairdresser.
