You should see what we used to do to land in heavy crosswinds on short runways & using centrifugal force.https://twitter.com/wizbee1/status/948037440908025857 …

Suppose your Xwind is fr/the right. Land w/ the right wing down first (on one tire). Then, the left wing & tire. Keep it on the centerline. Pull yoke back full aft for max breaking. Also, turn ailerons into wind. Slow w/ brakes as necessary (that's for tricycle gear AC).
That's one way to do it for normal within airplane stress guidelines for crosswind landings

Any tips for over demonstrated x-wind if stuck is a high wind jam. I’m a low time PPL and am amazed at the skill of you incredibly skilled and experienced pilots and love hearing the tips and stories.

Be sure to check your WX before launch. Have personal minimums, ex. no go flying over 15kts Xwind. Know your ACs Xwind numbers from the POH. If landing in Xwind, be ready to go around for another pass. Have other airports in mind if all else fails.
