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 …

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.

For about 2 years my Alaska bro flew sailplanes exclusively due to personal economic reasons--it was cheaper than powered. Last year his engine quit on approach to airport, he landed on freeway without damage to plane or cars. Onlookers amazed. Because tranferable unpowered skill

toss in some sailplane hours. If ur ever in emergency without power at low altitude, the instincts developed may help you keep ur head & fly well to a happy ending.
