I had a bad x-wind landing today.

Im a new instructor and my student was not there to practise x-wind landings, but one had appeared while we were away training and I decided to demonstrate.

The x-wind was right on demonstrated limits for the a/c.

All was looking beatiful, until the xwind dropped to near zero over the fence, then, of course, right as we touched down the wind reappeared with a 20kt gust from near enough to 90 degrees to us.

Down safely with no damage, but it was a very ugly landing... so bad I thought I had burst a tire.

Dont know what Im trying to say here... just trying to get over my frustration.
