X-wind Techniques
If anyone can point me to a previous thread on this, then please do so, cos I`ll be buggered if I can find it.
Anyway, since getting my PPL in the states back in September, I`ve been familiarising myself with the wet and windy weather that Europe brings at this time of year. All has been fine, but having not been taught the x-wind landing technique on my course i`ve since be struggling with getting everything under control when there`s a stiff wind blowing.
I`ve read about the crab it in then kick it, or the slip it method. And the latter is what i`ve been doing with my FI. It just isn`t clicking, and my biggest fear is getting into some ground loop - as I have a tendancy of not maintaining the inputs after i`ve touch down and apply the power.
I know i have got to bash the x-wind circuit before I am comfortable and I guess this is a downside of the extensive PPL in the states, but if anyone has a few pearls of wisdom, then I would be most grateful....so I can test em out on Sunday......
