I probably missed the FAA clear and concise written description of how crosswind landings are to be executed somewhere along the line. If any of you Hanger Queen pilots find that procedure in writing let me know.
Your arrogance is profound.I guess being a current Captain/Check Airman for a major airline,with approx 15,000 hrs tt,makes me a Hangar Queen pilot.
I guess if your family was on my airplane,you'd be ok with me landing in a 90 kt crosswind,as long as I hold a few extra knots down the final.I teach in the sim intermittently,and have made a successful landing in the sim with a 55kt crosswind,in a DC-9,which has a 30 kt xwind limit.I wouldn't try it in the plane with a 31 kt crosswind.Make no mistake.You exercised extremely poor judgement that day,and continue to do so by posting it like its a good thing.
Matt,
I apologize for the thread creep,and will not post in this thread anymore.Good luck,
Erik
