Gusty Crosswind Landings - MzeroA Flight Training

- m0a.com Raise your hand if you were intimidated by crosswind landings 🖐. I always found a way to shy away from them. Perhaps it was landing another runway or letting a friend take the landing. It wasn't until my commercial pilot certificate that I truly learned proper crosswind landing technique. In this video I'll show you some of my best tips for landing in a gusty crosswind.
"I'm not looking for a perfect landing, looking for a safe landing" and he did a 100% perfect landing by all measures!
Thanks for watching!
Not to mention a no flap landing!
Oh yes, beautiful landing!! 🔥
I’m a CFI and every day I have at least one student make the comment, “well I was watching this video at home and Jason said.....” and I get to help them apply what they learned in the airplane! Thank you for all the work you and your team put into these videos making it fun and interesting to learn at home!
So awesome thank you my friend
As a CFI myself sometimes I'll watch MZeroA videos to help articulate some things to my students. I agree, keep up the great work Jason.
Great video except for one thing, turning into the wind will not increase your rate of climb, it only increases your angle of climb. There may be a momentary change due to a gust but as a rule, wind direction has no effect on rate of climb anymore than it affects airspeed. On the other hand, windshear can have a dramatic effect on both, airspeed and climb/decent rate on a large aircraft due to the inertia that's involved.
@@gregjohnston7868 Could you elaborate on this please? I thought turning into the wind would increase your airflow over the wings and thus accelerate lift.
@@FelipeArtista thanks for your question. I don't know your experience as a pilot so I will try to answer your question as if you've never flown. Once the aircraft leaves the ground it is in a body of air. Airspeed is a measurement of speed through that body. For example, if the aircraft is flying at 100 kts indicated airspeed and turns into a 30 kt wind, its airspeed remains at 100 kts, however is groundspeed is reduced to 70 kts. Also, if that same aircraft was climbing at 1000 fpm and turned into the same 30kt wind, its rate of climb would remain at 1000 fpm, but its angle of climb would increase because the same change in altitude would occur over a much shorter distance. The airspeed is unchanged as is the rate of climb because as far as the aircraft is concerned, nothing has changed because its still just in a body of air that just happens to be moving across the ground. Think of it this way, if you had a goldfish in a bowl of water and he's not swimming, his speed through the water is zero and he is neither going up or down. However, if the goldfish was in your car and you were driving at 70 mph, his speed across the ground (groundspeed) would be 70 mph. Would he climb to the surface because the car is traveling? Of course not. His water speed, like the plane's airspeed in the moving air mass would be unaffected. The only thing that changes for both the plane and the goldfish is the speed across the ground.
The only time the rate of climb and airspeed on the aircraft would be affected would be in wind gusts, but those would be momentary changes lasting only until the inertia of the aircraft caught up with the change. Usually, the gust ends before that has a chance to occur. I hope that helps. If you have more questions, feel free to ask.
'Wooo it's gusty! Getting bumped all around here.'
You're the Bob Ross of aviation videos. 😁
Love them. Keep up the great work!
Well,Look At Those Fluffy Happy White Clouds off into the Distance
While watching the video I was picking up that kind of vibe. I don't think you could have said it any better.
It wasn't a crash, it was a happy little accident! ;D
No happy little accidents luckily.
I’m an elderly lady, aviation buff. I follow many aviation
channels but I find that I learn more from you.
You speak clearly and slowly. I have had a few lessons from
a former son-in-law, but don’t get the chance often
to fly anymore.
Doing a takeoff and landing is on my bucket list before
I go to the next ‘altitude’!
You have been a great teacher, and even if
I never fly again, I will continue to pretend I am
In the cockpit. Thanks
Terri
Goes to show just how critical mastering the basic turns around a point & rectangular course is. After you start flying for a while, it can be easy to forget how important these fundamentals are. Great review for me!
We all strive for that day when we're as happy and giddy like Jason about landing in heavy crosswinds near a plane's max limits.
It's fun stuff! Thanks for watching!
Amazing work... watched this at least 10 times to have a solid mental picture in my head. Thank you for your work
My last CFI before I received my private was a B 58 pilot at Grissom AFB, IN and he had a little tip for me. USAF teaches their students to land with the down wind wheel on the center line. The runway surface is slightly convex for water drainage so the upwind wing is slightly lower by a couple of degrees and your control is a little better. My initial CFI had a little exercise for crosswinds as well. He would have me get the upwind wheel touch down but keep the plane flying. We always seemed to have winds in eastern MT and sometimes, traffic permitting, he would use the inactive runway. Thanks for the tips and that was a beautiful TO and landing.
I had an issue last week with a crosswind similar to the one in this video. This was a very timely video for me. I will be discussing with my instructor about the zero flap method that you had used. I enjoy your videos because we use the same airports, especially Marion County. They are very instructional too. I learn something every time.
"A little quieter than usual" Haha I would not even have the mental capacity to speak at all in that situation.
Javier E. Gonzalez god I know my instructor was trying to teach me some cross wind landing at a gusty airport and I’m pretty sure I had a stroke right there in the pilot seat😂
@@Adventures_For_Miles yeah dude that shit is so hard
Would you be able to put a camera toward the rudder to see the rudder movement during a crosswind landing?
Also, A video of the pedals would be cool to keep in the corner.
@@uncleswell kind of like a multi cam, that would be cool
Hey Jason, I've been flying since 1964. This video on crosswinds is EXCELLENT EXCELLENT . . . . KUDOS
Flew in windy conditions today and omg coming to watch this video online today has made me smile so much. That landing transition on final from being in the air to being on the ground was sexy.
Wow - nice going Jason! You are so skilled!! Thank you for the great videos.
Thanks for your videos. I used to fly 30 years ago and just getting back to flying again. Your videos really help me.
Had one like that the other day at KGSO- runway 14, wind reported by ATC on short final- 040 at 12. It was a teaser. Good stuff as always Jason.
Jason is the best in the biz. Period.
Great video Jason! I just recently had a crosswind reality check in my 120 at Cedar Key this past weekend. KCTY was reporting winds from the west at about 4kts and that was the only info I had to go on. When I got to CDK, it was a STIFF 20mph gusty right crosswind and slightly favoring RWY 23. That was THE most challenging landing I've had to date in about 120 hours worth of flying!
perfect landing, perfect video, perfect lesson, thanks for all you do.
i'm a single engine Pilot ... and I've watched ALL of your videos ... This is probably the BEST one so far ..
I have just started my private pilot training and you are helping me a lot !! Thankyou
Great view of the upwind wheel touching down first. Thanks for showing that.
Great videos every time! Did my 2nd solo today only about 5 Knots of cross wind but practicing the ailerons into the wind for when it gets windier.
big fan from hawaii, currently up for BFR and your videos have been a big help. much love!
Very nicely, expertly done; obviously a great CFI.
That took me back to my first solo! It was only 7kt cross wind, but it was from the left and left traffic. Without a 200lb instructor in a 152, and turning into the wind, using ground references, I was at 1300ft in no time. Then I heard a 4-ship of A-10s coming in at 1500. Dove down to a thousand but ended up tailgating another plane in the pattern. I didn't even think about the crosswind helping my climb until now. Thanks for a fun video!
Staying calm, ahead of the airplane and confident in your training will always make it easier.
This is the best crosswind landing video I've seen. Great explanation and a great landing. Thank you so much for this, it helped me a lot.
This is so helpful to watch! I like this video better than the PPL ground school crosswind landing video… less radio chatter in background and the outside camera showing the ailerons and wheels is helpful to see along with your instruction. Thanks, Jason!
Best video so far! Real flying! Nice to see you can fly as well as you teach.
Beautiful landing in that crazy gust!
Fun to watch and very helpful for this instrument student!
That was a awesome up and down. Great job!!
Excellent job, as usual, Jason! Reminds me of the time I flew a C152 down in the Memphis area and had 9kt gusting 18kt crosswind on landing. I had that downwind wheel off the ground until I turned into the taxiway...LOL
Love your videos, thank-your for your contribution to the aviation community!
Love gusty days man. Thanks for the lesson.
Excellent video. Worth watching again and again!
Love me some Xwind landings! Thanks for sharing this buddy :)
Makin it look easy! Great job and thanks for the video!
So much information packed into this video. The best!
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching!
Hi Jason, your technique was exactly how I landed yesterday in 14 gusy 20. Wind 50 degrees of runway heading, ground speed 80 knots, no flaps, used a side slip, flew it onto the runway with careful reduction in power! Plane decelerated rapidly and settled nicely onto the runway!
Sweaty palms for sure, good flying.:)
Great Video. Cirrus recommends full flaps at crosswind : more probability of keeping control, shorter landing distance and lower side loads. .
Great video as always! I had my first lesson last week out of KROC, I nailed the communication because of you and listening to my Live ATC app. My instructor said she was impressed. Thank you Jason
It may be worth it to check out VATSIM and/or PilotEdge as well. If nothing else, it really helps a lot of people get used to talking/listening on the radio and getting familiar with the verbiage and lingo.
Noah Sargent nice! Welcome to the amazing world of aviation
KROC! At the RAC?
This is one of your best videos...a couple weeks ago at night a guy I know wanted to do night landings...we waited for single digits winds with no gusts...just 100-200 ft AGL it was a mess I could read his eyes...he got his confidence after surviving but moving controls the whole time...I did some from the right and he thought it was strange I was doing a base that was almost 45 degree to runway on purpose...I like that you said this won't be textbook but it will be safe
Great video. Thank you Jason!
Another great video looking forward to saying hi if you are at the UK expo this week.
Man, you absolutely nailed that, especially given the conditions. I got lucky training at KDVO which is notorious for x-winds but even winds like this (gusts over 20) give me sweaty palms.
Enjoyed that one! Nice job!
thanks so much, for the steps described as they are needed and why.
awesome job
Was taught the slip style crosswind landing. Never liked it. Definitely prefer the crab approach to slip landing with that upwind wheel down as you did here. Its what I did for my checkride and DPE was pleased (even if my "short field" landing floated a little). You're vids helped me a lot through my training. Thank you Jason!
I venture to say you should get comfortable with the slip. It will result in a much lower Tire bill
I love doing closed traffic work on days like that. Perishable skill.
Excellent that you mentioned no flaps in those conditions.
For those that asked...60-70kts works (172).
Appreciate you watching!
I know this video is old but I flew into Albany, GA a few weeks back on the way to Kissimmee and they were gusting 28!! Envoy air (delta connections) was cleared to land in front of me and I saw him have to go around!! I was shocked. He couldn't get it down and lined up safely. I was blown off center but managed to get in. At the end of that wild flight I took the courtesy car and went and got some BBQ to relax the nerves. Most turbulent flight in a small plane I had ever flown through, losing hundreds of feet each bump.
Fantastic footage!
Thank you so much!
Boy you can fly a wing mane... you are very good. You inspire me Jason!
My most memorable crossword landing was into Blue Ridge KMTV a few years ago. It was a direct crosswind 18 gusty to 25 with the wind varying back and forth every 30 seconds between +/- 30 degrees from a direct crossword. Turbulence was the worst I ever experienced all the way to the deck. A number of planes were going around. I was determined to get that thing on the ground on the 1st attempt which I did thankfully. I was on a middle leg of a long cross country flying a Cessna 152 and my alternate wasn't much better windwise. That experience really built my confidence in my crosswind abilities while also teaching me to really do a thorough pre flight including forecasted vs actual winds. I would be willing to bet that most pilots get their real crosswind experience in situations like this and NOT with a CFI. Hell- I know cfi's that won't go up in gusty situations like this.
Great video! I am a student pilot who flies out of KAEG. It is windy / gusty here more days than not so skills like this are super important!
Outstanding! Thanks for sharing.
It's one of those things you just don't get enough practice for but need loads! My instructor just helped me finally get my head around it (revalidation PPL flown about 80hrs /30 PIC) and yet still flared and reacted to the wind rather than being proactive into the forward slip. That video helped nail it Jason. Thanks!
Try Scotland and let's see if you get enough practise or not :)
P.S. 60%+ of my training was in 15kts+ of wind so I actually find it easier to make a smooth crosswind landing than a calm landing.
Wow! last wind check was 290/14G24. and this guy landed it like a boss. great tips on crosswind landings. Thanks!!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!
Was grinning on takeoff and so were u that stuff is so fun as long as ur safe and its not too crazy.
Best to do a full stop that day lol
Damn man you NAILED that centerline
I am a private pilot and I am also an emergency first responder. I have always been a huge believer of seat belt use. I have seen so many car crash fatalities that were not wearing seat belts. A couple of years ago in east Tennessee, a Bonanza lost it's engine and came down. the plane was equipped with a throw over yoke. The husband pilot and wife passenger did not wear shoulder harness's. The husband pilot rammed his chest into the yoke and the wife passenger rammed her head into the panel. The husband survived (paralyzed) but the wife was dead when we finally located them. The crash was very survivable. They should have simply opened the door and stepped out and seeked help.
I have flown with many instructors in the past that balked at the use of the shoulder harness, I always put my on anyway. I follow NTSB reports, so many people could survive if they were worn.
did some spicy crosswind landings yesterday up here in jax good stuff!
Bro, your videos are really helpful, I hope I approve my check ride and improve my flight maneuvers
What a great video and perfect demonstration, thank you.
You're very welcome! Thank you
Intimidated!? Frightened! Both hands raised. Thanks for showing this--no flaps! Little bit of power. Glad you lived through this. I have been studying these: mostly it's "wing-low" and you should check if you 'run out of rudder' because you need a little left because the gusts come & go.
Awesome demonstration thank you
i'm a privet pilot and i just want to say thank you for all your help
Thanks for all you do
Loved this video!
Awesome instructor!!
Jason, you make flying look like fun
We would say it is very fun! Thanks for watching!
Great videos watched from Sydney Australia. Some potentially life saving stuff shown here.
I just did this today. I sought out some videos to help me understand how I can build my skills in order to land with confidence in these conditions,😊
watched this vid omw to m lesson he let me land in the crosswinds and this refresher was so need thanks man
This was a great, great crosswind t/o & landing video for me! I watch the video on laptop with headphones (no outside annoying noise), mouse in right hand to pause, write some notes (I find that I retain more IF I WRITE IT DOWN)....thank you Jason!!
Thank you very much! I'm glad it was helpful!
That was fantastic!
love your crab to slip. thanks as always for your informational videos!
Awesome thank you!!
Nice Breitling, sweet landing
Lol... This guy is awesome ! Love the commentary . Great video
You’re awesome. Great video
You are a great pilot and instructor!
Thank you, Madhusudhan! Fly safe!!
@@MzeroAFlightTraining Thanks! I was having some trouble landing after returning to fly after 18 years. Watching your videos about transitioning instead of flaring helped greatly and I'm back to being super comfortable landing again!
I never seem to get a day here recently without wind. I love practicing crosswind landings but they can be challenging. Still you made a really nice video....kudos
That was a nice landing!
,Am at 3:00 so far excellent video!
Including lookouts, approach lookout checks and downwind checks is cool. I know you did them but they are good to show - makes a nice impression on the fledglings 🙃
Great videos. Do you have one on pattern entries as well as visualizing beforehand an entry into an airfield? I just completed a flight where I was approaching from the south and cleared for a left downwind for Rwy 24 and couldn't visualize the approach and entry.
Love your videos so helpful
that was amazing to watch
Great landing, perfect description of how its done as well!
I love the energy in these videos haha.
Glad you like them! Thanks for watching!
My third solo on that very runway, same conditions, did a go around and had to pull hard to get the undies out.. nice video...
Wow, that's intense. Great job, Jason.
That was an elegant landing!! Good shit! 😁👍
Thank you! Glad you liked it!
Excellent! Thank you.
how do you execute the 'crab into the wind' ? Roll into the wind, or kick the rudder yaw into the wind, or just let the cross wind hit the vert. stabiliser to push the tail out of the wind wo head would be into wind?
So smooth! My last landing was 12 gusting 20 at exactly 90 degrees. Those are the types of landings you remember!!
Alan Brock at my first solo flight the wind was 18kts from exactly 90°
@@ahsanhabibchowdhury8502 Your instructor must have had a lot of confidence in you. They actually signed off on your first solo with a direct crosswind that exceeds most training aircraft demonstrated crosswind component?
@@atleiker the wind was calm when i took off, i made one low go as planned and then joined final for full stop landing, the crosswind was 18kts
Wing-rockin' good time... literally!
Just found this video, excellent
