Nothing to do with nervous Centaurus, I work in the land of "danger crosswind" (by ATC) when the component is less than 5 knots, you may not believe me but it's true.

It's more about responsibility, one of the worst landings that I have witnessed was accomplished by another captain that was sitting in the right seat that day when he lowered the wrong wing in a crosswind and managed to get the aircraft in a wheel barrow mode.

My hands and feet are always in a position to take over when near the ground.

Cheers, D.L.
