Well having flown in the windy conditions as well in the last 2 weeks, i have thought one heck of a lot about the X-wind limits. Many people say these are the demonstrated x-winds that the test pilots managed to find during certification, and the
actuallimits maybe higher. Like the poster above, at the court of inquiry would the fact that you tried to do some test flying with pax. onboard really go down well, i think not.
. .AAL Sliverbird, so how do you do X-wind landings these days, just crunch it on????
Personally i always try and get rid of all the drift with rudder, and it worked a treat for every landing in gusty/windy conditions in the last few weeks.
