121 crosswind landing technique

Gretsch makes great drums.

Yes they do, and I am VERY picky when it comes to guitars. The Power Jet was a rare one to come along where I played it and said "well this just cost me 2000 dollars." I've got 6 other guitars, and I have to have a very good reason to play one of the others... it is a pain to restring, though, but I've got a fix for that in the works.

AH, my former airline. Pretty sure the director of safety was PIC and a newish SIC was PF if I remember correctly. Think this was at ELP, I was still there when this happened. I forgot if I flew that plane the next week, or a buddy did. But either way, just required a bit of speed tape. As bad as that was, it barely scratched the paint fortunately.

Nothing ever has come bad from a mgmt pilot flying with a rookie.... A good portion of the FOs I fly with now, I trained. We have a come to Jesus talk in the briefing on "if I'm doing something stupid, it's because I'm doing something stupid... speak up!! You get extra beer credits for calling me an idiot. It's not a mistake until we both let it go by."

Do you land with crab or what?? Kicking and hoping doesn't do well to keep you on centerline, haha.

The Falcon 900 is the same, Dassault says to "maintain the ailerons neutral" or something to that effect and de-crab during touchdown. That being said I would probably more from instinct than anything else add a bit of wing low if I felt any drift but would usually just bring the nose to the centerline just prior to touchdown. The HUD helped a lot for me. I was told besides the low wingtip clearance it also had to do with the landing gear geometry and how applying aileron input causes an imbalance on the main gear. I can't remember exactly how that one was explained to me other than I thought that it was odd but sounded about right for Dassault.

Now that I'm 121 I land the 737 the same way pretty much way with whatever roll input I need to stop the drift.

We have similar tastes!

In looking at this picture, I finally made a change that was a threat with the top right knob on the POG2.... I moved the Pitch Black down one slat, while maintaining enough room for input above the volume pedal's inputs. Something I've been wanting to do for a while. I'm kind of minimalist with the amount of pedals I run as the tap dance can get interesting.... much more like yours and I'd end up getting a management system that I could program to cycle them through scenes. More time with programming, but much less "ah crap I gotta make 4 moves here... what's the most efficient order?"

All the essentials man! I would love any Strymon but I can’t justify paying that much especially because I’d leave the Timeline on dotted eighths 99.9% of the time

Also, way more important than airplanes, have you had a chance to check out the Horizon Devices Precision Drive? It's djenty.

That is what is considered music these days?

For most people? No.

For those who are as awesome as they want to be? Yes.
