Flap setting in a crosswind
I thought it was universally recognised that in a strong crosswind (especially if it's gusting), if we are not field length limited it is an advantage to use less than full flaps for landing.
The reason being twofold:-
Touch down speed is increased with a corresponding increase in rudder (and aileron) authority. Also crab angle is reduced at touchdown due to the higher airspeed which also makes life easier. Once 'on the ground' nosewheel steering and/or differential braking can be used, or may be nessesary, to maintain directional control.
On 'de-rotation' you get a greater effective reduction in AoA with a reduced flap setting and therefore less likelhood of becoming airbourne again if the wind does gust.
This was taught to me during PPL, CPL, IR and FIC. And since I did modular these were all at different FTOs.
