TOO GOOD FOR GA?
If the correct procedure is adhered to, I.e., slipping into wind, (into wind wing down) the angle of bank should be within limits, up to max xwind limit for the aircraft type.
Down wind wing down, you're in trouble. That, is one recipe for a "pod" strike.

The manufacturer recommends a wings level approach and landing with a maximum of 5 degrees of less of bank, and a maximum 5 degrees of crab for stronger crosswinds. They don’t recommend landing it like a C172 at high winds.
Light crosswinds can by flown with a GA side slip technique or the normal wings level technique.

Pod strike will occur at 16 deg angle of bank with the gear compressed, or 18 degrees with the gear uncompressed.

"When you can touch down, at max demonstrated crosswind for the aircraft type, on the centre line, the aircraft heading and track the same as the runway direction and maintain the above. Then you can land crosswind. This is what we aim to do right? Well if it can't be done, then it could be argued the handling pilot does not have full control of the aircraft. Or does he or she?"

Who cares if it drifts? Like there's some sacrosanct unwritten rule? 'Thou shalt not thread drift'

Who cares?? The people who look at the topic header, that's who. Annoying when one sees a topic, opens it and finds the latest posts are nothing to do with it.

Well...the topic is about transferring to instructing in GA so it hasn't drifted that far, really!

As well as thread drift there is poor spelling and mangled cliches. "Thou shalt not thread drift"

Surely, if he is as good as he thinks he is, all he has to do is sit the exams, fly the check rides and bingo, he has the ratings!.... should be a doddle.. Anyone as good as he is shouldn't have any issue at all jumping through the hoops.
