One night I was on my first captain flight with an FO on his first Lear flight landing in a 30 knot direct crosswind. He asked how does this thing land in a crosswind? I said "I don't know, never have."

I used Glendalegoon's method including leaving the upwind engine power up some and got a great landing. It is all done at once late in the flare and is not difficult in any airplane.
