wind 300, runway orientation 320...

thats not too bad of a crosswind component

[MrPilot1230]

Did you calculate the gust factor into that? Also compare it to the C172's POH that only recommends (by a test pilot) no more than a 15kt x-wind component for the aircraft? The wind Direction is only one of several factors.

this just goes to show you why the FAA will not use a sim like this to count towards recurrency. Just imagine doing this for real trying to stay within the aircraft's rated performance. I love flight sim but doing it for real kicks but.

[MrPilot1230]

Agreed very much. :)

don't use your rudder until the end, use aileron to stay on center, and then when you get about 100-50 ft off the ground use rudder to swing the plane straight. i know for real life experience...lol.

[MrPilot1230]

Thanks but I know that too. I do have my pilots license and have been flying for 5yrs and over 200hrs of flight time.

PUT SIM IN THE TITLE.

A lot of us simmers are also real pilots so i would suggest not leaving comments like that, it only makes you seem very very immature.

18kt crosswind component...you would have made it down if you would have held that crab just a little longer...

[VroodenTheGreat]

well, I gonna comment on this one.... flightsim, REALLY it was only 20 degrees crosswind... and this is a SIM... you couldnt work it out?

I'm not a good pilot by any definition of the word... but THAT was CRAP. If I pulled off a landing like that POS my funding would get pulled

[AlfredoBallester]

that was a good landing, just not a good approach

[GingBread]

@MrPilot1230 - Gusting conditions do make any landing more challenging, but a 30 knot wind 20 degrees off the nose is only a x-wind component of 10 knots. Also, there isn't a "recommendation" of max x-wind, only max demonstrated. It even states in the POH that "this is not a limitation". I've taken off sideways in Mr. Cessna's fine little craft. Just sayin'

[fs10inator]

You're getting more dislikes because you're not putting "FS2004" in the title.

[suburbianlegend]

when i was a student pilot doing solo circuits, i was landing into sun, with stronger winds than that, done a perfect approach but when i flared it gusted, i got thrown to the edge of the runway, skidded like a bitch and did a go-around like one... thought i was gonna die, this isnt a half hearted thing u know

[deerkillawv]

@1085oliverda are you a real pilot?

[papcrap2]

Try not be offended but that was shit.

[petaboil]

oh ffs, could people please put some indication in the title to tell us weather or not this is real or flight sim :(

[ilikechile]

@SuperdicaFlyer trust me its really hard to overstress a cessna
