So here I was, rounding out and flaring ok. Today, thrown in the deep end with crosswind landings! Right on the limit of 15 knots too. Baptism of fire for the learner! Was very gusty too. I probably managed 2 out of 7 landings well, the rest were terrible. Only 2 go arounds today!
The thing that got me the most today, was turning onto the crosswind leg (which was more downwind than crosswind) how much the gusts roll the aircraft over, then when you roll it back the gust goes and you are flying straight again, then bam, hit again.
FWIW, I am a racing sailor, so I understand wind patterns very well. Its amazing how useful the water is when you are up in the air too. I already know how to read wind gusts and direction and it certainly gives you a huge advantage when learning to fly.
