Yall are talking about some STRONG winds, I have landed in a crosswind, but then again i dont fly in winds over 10
No, we aren't talking about "strong" winds. we are talking about ALL crosswinds. You need to know how to land in them no matter what strength. You have landed in a crosswind yes, but you have been lucky. As we said above, you are bringing the plane in with the wind and you are hoping that you make it to the runway this way. But what if you get a gust that blows you plane a bit more sideways so you aren't going to cross the end of the runway? what are you going to do? If you knew the proper way to handle a crosswind the answer is easy, you sideslip using the rudder to re-align yourself with the runway. Excuses can be made as to why you don't need to know how to land like this, but the plain truth is that you just need to learn how to do this. It is a basic part of flying that needs to be learn in order to know how to fly. There is a huge amount of flying that you are missing out on because of not knowing how to use the rudder properly. You can go on without learning how to use your rudder in precision flying, but you're missing out. It's a huge part of knowing how to tell the plane to do what you want it to, and not you always chasing the plane. It will make you a better pilot, trust me on this one. As an instructor I know what I am talking about here, just learn to use your rudder.
You have to consider where you live too. What you consider "strong" wind is a light breeze where I live. If you don't fly with winds over 10 mph then you wouldn't fly very often here in Oklahoma where we fly all the time with winds of 15+ mph. If you don't learn to fly in the wind you can find yourself being grounded a lot of times. Heck, here in SW Oklahoma we live for "wind days", those days with the wind blowing 30+ straight down the runway. You don't know what fun flying can be until you do a completely vertical landing with absolutely no forward motion at all, and you can only do this in high winds!!!
