Global Aviator, et al,
Although it might be difficult, try to remember how you learnt to fly, how you gained knowledge and ability to land in a crosswind.
Being more of an art than most flying, you can watch, a but only really learn from doing.
Each aircraft type is different; coordination yaw and roll, how much of each, when, how quickly. Every wind, runway, aircraft configuration, speed, create different situations; its very rare to encounter the same ‘crosswind’ twice.
The challenge is how to accumulate the necessary experience; even when something is ‘right’ we might not be satisfied, or how do we know what is right until we have done ‘it right’ before.
“Things go wrong so that we will know when they go right”, but in today’s industry we may not be allowed to be wrong, not even a little bit. So how might we learn, gain tacit knowledge, experience, ‘you can’t do that until you have done it before’, or until promoted.
Simulator they cry, but crosswind simulation is one of the most difficult to represent, particularly the inadequacy of side-force.
Instead of us oldies reminiscing how easy ‘it’ is based in many years of experience in vastly different situations and aircraft, consider how relevant ‘experience’ might be transferred to less experienced pilots.
Gaining experience in modern aviation might be a greater problem than finessing a crosswind landing.
