When you wrote on the video: "Turning base for Runway 25" It should've been: Turning FINAL for Runway 25. Good video!

[twodragoons]

@fabriciorechy You are absolutely correct.  I have been waiting for someone to comment on that bit of poor editing on my part. You win the prize! We are indeed turning final - not base. Admittedly, I realize now that the video would be more enjoyable to watch without the silly banners all together.

Routine mate. Routine.

[twodragoons]

@joepatroni77 You are probably right. "Extreme" certainly is a relative word when considering the broad range of experience out there. My hat is off to those of you who operate routinely in poor conditions. One with relatively few hours in the seat (which is the case here) can only aspire to that level of seasoned experience. Until then - this feels somewhat "extreme" to those with less exposure. I cannot help but wonder what conditions my rig could handle in more experienced hands.

Nice, but what is the max. cross wind component for this airplane?

[twodragoons]

@CaptainArt777

Oddly, I don't think this operating handbook has a published maximum demonstrated crosswind (at least that I can find). We have never tested the control authority to thier "limits" in this rig. That is the stuff of test pilots. Our ability as pilots is one thing. What these old birds can handle from an engineering standpoint is another. In the hands of a more experienced and skilled pilot, I assume this old bird could handle much more than what we experienced here.

Loved that cross wind landing

[kozmon0t]

couldn't see the runway at the best part, next time find a copilot with a skinnier head

[Otacatapetl]

Good landing, mate - never felt a thing.

@twodragoons Ya, a couple at the start would be fine; a video with no information is sometimes just as irritating. The quality and perception angle of the video is truly outstanding though.

[YagoRj357]

A both engine failure in that flight would be scary as hell.

@twodragoons YOU AINT GONNA DO SHIT FAGGOT HOPE YOU CRASH.

After you kicked in the right rudder (just before touchdown) I think a bit more left aileron would have kept the airplane from turning its nose back into the wind.. Other than that good landing. My personal xwind top was 26 kt cross with a 33 kt wind in a C-150.. Mountain area..

its like drifting ;)
