Why do pilots continue to crash land senecas?
There is the famous Seneca bounce porpoise if you dont get the aircraft trimmed and land flat or nosefirst but this is all bad pilot techniques not crosswind.
I know the demonstrated crosswind component but with over 2000 hrs on the aircraft also know a five can handle 40 kts at 90 degrees.
The other gotcha is wind shear how many pilots actually adjust their reference speed for gusty conditions?
Its not the aircrafts fault but pilots who need to be pilots not passengers
