RE: Nervous about the wind
I have a question DB,
A couple of weekends ago it was really windy. I am not sure exactly how windy it was, but it was a very nice clear sky day and I was the only one there if that tells you anything.
Anyway, I thought I'd use that time to try to get my crosswind landings down.
The wind was a total cross wind blowing away from me.
I found that as soon as I applied rudder the plane would immediatly jet like a dart towards the landing strip and I would overshoot it big time becuase of the air speed.
Are you supposed to approach the landing strip and a 90 degree angle untill you are fairly close, then use the rudder to spin it around and line it up? Or, are you supposed to get it lined up like a regular approach and use the rudder all the way in?
