I mean, that's you, the textbook picture of the confident, high triple digit IQ, trustworthy and humble pilot everyone aspires to be and, on top, you nail all your crosswind landings. I'm sure your crosswind takeoffs are just as flawless too. Man, you should be an astronaut headed for Mars, not a mere pilot moving holiday-goers around. You are so absurdly legendary bright that you probably never need runway lighting. This is just too much, I thought you were a myth yet here you are, in the flesh. You deserve so much praise and recognition that your ATPL should be renamed Awesome Transport Pilot Licence. Actually I think you might well be the second-best pilot in the whole world mate. Keep at it like you are, your stick and rudder skills make us all dream!
PS. I forgot to mention: you're also a spelling champoin. Your NOTAMS would be poetry.
Yes, I’m a champoin! 😀
This thread is not about me, but I’m confident in my abilities. 20 kts is not even a briefing item. The 737 can autoland in a crab with 20 kts crosswind.
What do you guys do when you only have one runway and 35 kts crosswind? Divert?
To land or not in a crosswind should be the commanders decision. Not the airport.
