June 14, 2010
Keith lands our C150 in a xwind using wing down technique. A little bit gusty on approach with some sink on short final. Filmed at Shoreham airport UK.

Got something to say?
Thats just a suggestion though, but realistically, if the winds are too far over that, it gets to a point that the airplane cant take it. regardless of who’s flying it.
Idiot.
Considering that’s probably greater than the maximum demonstrated crosswind in the 150, I’d say it would be a stupid decision to send a student on a solo in it, unless you have really great insurance.
I thought it was a good video and a good landing.
Watch this video: Cessna 150 Cross-country
Oh dear yes–thats about 9kts in the sock and 5kts in the flare. When I instructed in the Shetlands 30 years ago we never sent anybody first solo with less than a 15kt crosswind, before they built the westerley runway.Find your self a 35kt 90 degree crosswind then you will know what a croswind is!
Mmm wind reported by tower as 240 Degrees at 15kts on runway 20. So you think theres no croswind? Oh dear 🙂
No crosswind in the last 20 feet–get real!
Crosswind landings shouldn’t be feared. If you do fear them, then you might not want to fly, since wind is common and for the wind to blow straight down the runway is uncommon. I’ve done landings like this many times. Though I did have the advantage of a 200′ wide runway, I still aimed for the centerline!
Great Job, as a Central Kansas CFI I encourage you guys to seek this kind of wind out, nothin’ to it but to do it!!
from a student pilot, great job
NICE! Lots of pilots fear xw landings. You’ve learned the technique for sure.
so nice
watch out over lancing college, those guys may be posh, but they have catapults!
Nicely done. Smooth and safe.
