Firstly, KNOW YOUR LIMITS , ( and those of your aircraft). I have actually landed a Metroliner on a 75`wide paved runway with a 55 knot wind @ 90 degrees.....quite regularly, but that is another story...What I see lately is " experienced" guys that haven`t a clue what to do with a 10 knot wind @ 90 degrees. It makes me sick that there`s many pilots flying jets these days that couldn`t do an adequate job , even in a Cessna. Stick, rudder, skill, experience and training are required. If you have to ask, well what the hell are you doing ? I hope you`re passengers aren`t aware.........
