Traffic Watch C172 DC area

How does a 30 kt direct crosswind landing in a 172 workout? About the most I have ever done is 15-18 and I have found that you start running out of rudder and sideloading the thing pretty good after that.

Does he get upset if you go to some other airport more lined up with the wind and wait it out?

Yeah but, you have those pesky engines hanging off the wings.

I haven't physically flown a wing-slung engine since 1999, this is going to be weird! And my first non t-tail since then too.

Is that a "limitation" or a "demonstration"?

I guess Airbii have the same thing...Thursday at LAX united was sitting there waiting for tower to call less than 30kt x-winds. Giggity!

My Delorean doesn't have much of a problem with crosswinds

Necropost..

I think they want you to have top-notch radio communication, crosswind and decision-making skills and be familiar with the DC area and FRZ/ADIZ airspace. Just a hunch though.

Why do you say that?
