My crosswind experience was when I was flying from VHHH to Leipzig in the AeroLogic 777F and had a super hard time keeping the centerline on takeoff . Luckily , I managed to takeoff and land smoothly 13hours or so later in Germany .🥵

Thanks again for this. I’m definitely going to use some of these for when I land.

I remember a crazy one in Price Juliana Airport , I was literally flying as same as a Crab 🦀 (sideways) but unfortunately I was flying pretty low and hit the fence but the landing was smooth

3 top condensed tips:
1)keep FPV aimed at the runway, not the nose
2)straighten nose with rudder as you touch down
3)release rudder before nose wheel touches

If I am being honest, I feel like it’s easier landing in crosswinds then no winds!
