this landing was no good. where is the crosswind technique? at 100ft or so straighten aircraft with rudder and lower wing into the wind just enough so you don't drift
80802? I got my private pilot license in this aircraft!!! When was this taken? Also, did you know it got in a bad accident about 2 months ago? sadly it doesn't fly anymore!
I bet it's nice knowing how to fly. I would learn how to fly but I have cerebral palsy. Anybody that has cerebral palsy is always automatically banned from learning how to fly by the FAA.

Even in a crosswind landing you should have a minimum of 20 degrees of flap. Also, although the crab method of landing in a crosswind is effective, it puts undue stress on the gear and over time this can lead to stress fractures and potentially a gear failure. The preferred method in a 172 is to side-slip (wing low into the wind and keep centerline with the rudder). Also, always hold the slip right through the flare onto the ground touching down main, main and then nosewheel.
@joeywmac everyone's method is different it all depends on the situation I myself in a strong cross wind will only use one notch of flaps and keep a little bit more power in. I fly a Cherokee 160 for the most part.
@fordairport That makes sense. I somewhat misspoke before. In really heavy or gusty crosswinds where flaps are more of a sail than anything else, it makes sense to retract them some or all of the way. But I still don't compromise on the side-slipping to touchdown. The only reason I could think to crab onto the ground would be, maybe, in a particularly heavy crosswind where slipping simply wasn't enough. But if you've planned your flight well then that hopefully shouldn't happen.
The manual of the user Cessna 172 indicates not to use flap when there is wind cruzado greater to 15 knots I ignore whichever wind knots cruzado your tapeworms but a good work is seen
I say good job! You made that look effortless! I used to do the "crab-and-kick" method but a CFI told me that I was working "too much" with the controls. He recommended the "side-slip" method and my xwind landings have never been better!
Not bad. Crabbing can put stress on the main gear if your not careful but good job in this strong wind. I prefer the cross-control wing low slip as others have mentioned. I was taught both methods (crab and slip) and both are acceptable forms of landing. Just remember if you have an extreme crab angle you prob want to use the slip instead of crab. When slipping remember the manual says no flaps. Practice makes perfect.
This landing was enforcing a bad habit. in the 172 crabbing onto the runway puts stress on the landing gear and can cause or contribute to a gear assembly collapse. Primarily you should side-slip as required and hold it all the way onto the ground touching down one wheel at a time. It takes practice, but it is safe and effective. Also, by crabbing you are rendering yourself vulnerable to being blown off-center by gusts whereas a slip tends to correct itself more easily. Safe flying!
i think the best way to do a x-wind landing is to crab into the wind while on approach so you know exactly what kind of wind ur dealing with. then when ur about 30-50 ft off, go into sideslip. but i dont ever think about it ... lol i just do it. cuz if i think about it, i'll crash haha
only thing about that is when you're really in the wind you're already fighting to keep it in the crab, then you have to try and get it out of the crab and into a slip which can be hard in a small plane. I usually crab in then about 1-2 miles out I start slipping so I can stay ahead of the airplane. I think jet's crab down to the runway because it would be pretty sketchy to slip a jet far out.
The wing down method requires a side slip. The flight manual for a C172 recommends you do not side slip with the flaps deployed due to potential oscillations. So you can only use the wing down method without flaps out. Better to use flap and learn how to do the crab method properly.
Crabing it in is just fine all the way till just before touchdown at which time you apply hard oposite rudder, dip the wing to prevent drift, and presto! A little practice, and there's nothin to it. A lot easier on the gear than just forcing it down in a crab. Also, you will never get away with that in a taildragger. You may as well do it the right way.
The other day I had 20 Knot crosswind because the other runway at my airport was under repairs. I have a different technique i was taught, instead of swinging the front around on touchdown I dip my wing into the wind and level out when i'm just about to touch down.
the strut is still intact because?

when he wind is 15 knots or more i dont use any flaps, lot better that way

X-wind landings call for less flap when the winds are high. 20 degrees or less in a heavy wind is actually what the POH calls for.

You use flaps on all landings in a Cessna Buddy. unless you wanna just float until you run out of runway.

not bad but you shouldnt put all that force on that one wheel espcially when you are turn sideways

I'm not sure the side slip would have worked here. I think he would of had full rudder in and still been crabbed :) nice job
