"Landings are not meant to be saved" man I remember my first crosswind at skill limit "brain locking" on the task of landing, trying to "save" a bad cross winder (11-13 knt. in a C-172) while my instructor (F-4 era Naval Aviator) cooly sat r.h. watching me sweat and fight it; not saying a word. It took a glance of the main wheel on my side, proximity to the s runway marker light can at about the midpoint of the runway for me to finally in frustration voice an expletive like aw F*%#-! and "snap out of it" and remember to "fly the airplane, apply power, and go around!"...only to hear in a cool low voice fit for radio state from the right seat.. "I was wondering when you were going to go around".
Been flying for 38 years and this topic still fascinates me
Excellent reference to gliders. Well done UND!
Outstanding!
Great video!
