Landing on a 5000 ft runway, orientation 18/36 with a 220 wind at 26 gusting 36.
I gotta say it was challenging. But the plane is still usable and it was, if not a greaser, not all that bad a landing. Wasn’t my best though. On centerline too. The approach was at about a 45 degree crab.
There were no good choices though, so I did it. Beat the storm in and put the plane away.
It was a challenge, and I almost went around just at the flare. Differential thrust is a good thing to have.
Nicely done. But there is nothing wrong with a go around either…
I know. I have no issue going around if needed.
It was a great landing, especially considering a wicked crosswind and had plenty of runway to work with if needed. We got in well before the storms came through, which was the plan.
