G-SPOTs Lost -
Good example. Shame the ground school leaves this to the CPL / IR (if the school is a good one).
90 DEG XWC with gusts is git as the GS is almost still air. Normal flap is the way we go, increasing the appraoch speed for the gusts (EDI today was a challange let me tell you) and let the speed reduce in ground effect as you rudder the nose straight while dipping the into wind wing slightly. If there is windshear and turbulance then no messing - 2nd wire firmly making an oooooooaaaahhhhh!!! sound as you land.
Too much flap can give you all sorts of problems, especially without spoilers
