Got my crosswind limit upgraded to the maximum of 13 knots today! The heavy crosswind today was a blessing in disguise! I was afraid that my flights would be cancelled, however my instructor (and so did I) saw the crosswind as an opportunity to practice some crosswind landings, even if they were nearly up to and on some occasions over my instructor’s 17 knot crosswind limit. Most of the time the crosswind remained within limits, and for the times it was out of limits we just went around. It’s so much fun landing in a 17 knot crosswind! The instructor demonstrated the first one and the rest I did on my own. Crosswind landings feel a little odd at first since you’re crabbing your way in, but I think the trick is to keep your eyes on the runway ahead.
