As I've said before, in 1971 I had a holiday in Canada and decided to get a Canadian tourist pilot permit on the basis of my U.K. PPL. I had about 60 hours total experience then.
I checked out on a Cessna 150 and there was agentle X-wing of about 10 knots blowing. From that day to this I have never forgotton my Canadian instructor's debrief: Guess you were taught to fly by an ex-RAF instructor huh? O>K you put it down quite nicely by pushing off the drift with rudder just before touch down. Over here, we drop the wing into wind and line the nose up on the runway with rudder. You can put a Cessna 150 down with 40 kts across that way, no sweat!"
I have never tried to put a C150 down with 40 kts straight across, but those words have enabled me to land all sorts of aircraft safely in all sorts of crosswinds since. I am also assured that the technique works perfectly on B707's 737's and 777's to name but a few.
P.P.
