Thanks for those comments....now how about we add the two threads together..
Consider that we are left downwind for a westerly facing runway, at Mr B. Tupp's small Scottish airfield (Dundee?) during a period of high, gusty, crosswinds from the North - his scenario, not mine.
Let us now assume that we are flying towards this runway in a low performace twin engine aircraft - with the left engine feathered.
No suitable diversions available - we have to land.
What configuration are we going to be in - at what points in the circuit - and when do we put the gear down?
