To the pros this will be nothing but to a student pilot about to go on a checkride i freaked.. Now i am mad I freaked and should of gone around.
I fly a new 172 with g1000 and was landing on 7 at KORL today.. at the last second a gust from about 320 that blew me from the center line all the way to the right side of the runway just before i was about the flare. now this is a 150ft wide runway and i went from center line to my right gear was flying just above grass in like a second.. instead of going around i worked it over and made a messy landing.. looking back and talking to my instructor i should of asked for runway 31 and i should of gone around.. What bothers me is at the time i didnt even think to go around i just wanted to land.. needless to say i scared myself..
I love flying and I want to make a career out of this. Any advice?
