Digga ...been flying the Bus series for the last 15 yrs......x-wind ldgs are just like anything else...its all about practice....my advice .....do flaps 3 on all your x-wind ldgs...(15kts +) and you will become very proficient indeed...also try them on light winds.....flaps 3 landings give you a different feel and data shows that the ldg distance rquired is about 5-600 ft more ,than a flaps full

..all about confidence mate...and unless you take a crack at this stuff when the oppurtunity arises,then you have missed the perfect chance.......I do them all the time and feel very comfortable....reckon thats what its all about in the end
