Something like that at 1000 feet.. At ground level the tower gave us a crosswind component of 12 - 20 knots. Cessna 150's have a fifteen knot limit.

My instructor did it, I have to do it. CFI approves it and four other aircraft were doing it. The conditions were a little on the extreme side, that much was admitted, but 30 knot sea breezes are the norm in summer afternoons, so Iguess I juust better get good at it.

Better day today - no wind, steep turns, recovery from spiral dives, steep descending turns, then lunch and another hour of short takeoffs and landings, which went very well.
