hi PPC,

been a flying instructor many years. we teach for these sort of things but sometimes a stronger than average crosswind gust may just strike when an aircraft is at its most vulnerable...that is just as it flares to land with consequential results but not always fatal nor damaging to aircraft nor passengers.

there have been in both light aircraft and large passenger jets crosswind induced accidents....but your chances of being involved in a car accident are still higher....

so relax...and enjoy your flights..when you a$$ is strapped to metal its going to do what its going to do in any event..!!

safe flying..

the dean.
