"Gross-wind landings"??? Not sure this would be welcome in the cockpit!
:-)
On one of my first x-wind landings (not quite 55kts and gusting but enough for
an inexperienced E145 F/O) I was very proud and happy that my captain allowed/gave me the chance to land the thing. OK, so it wasn't the best - I was more than a little nervous and the approach wasn't as smooth as it could have been. At one point I make a slight overcorrection and at that point said captain farted - long, loud and the unmistakable smell of fear.
Nothing more was said until we parked at the gate when captain apologies; C/C came in to cockpit and remarked that after that approach the cabin smelt the same too...
