No, he means landing across the runway to reduce the crosswind component, like this:

Autopilot failure or simply turbulence was too much for the autopilot, prompting the pilot to handfly in IMC which he wasn't proficient at?

Not sure how many hours you have, but learning how to handle wind now will pay off big in the future. I had an incident (damaged an old...

Yes, they can. The default rule is that they can not but many facilities (towers) have procedures approved to allow it under specific...

In the Cub I never use full flaps in a short field landing with gusting winds. It doesn't have flaps.

Yes, 23" and 2350RPM I would expect less than 500fpm. Almost no one flies it like that.

Repeating the wrong definition over and over doesn't make it right.

In keeping in the spirit of the thread title: That's not the definition of design maneuvering speed (VA). Design maneuvering speed (VA)...

The TCDS for the PA-32R-300 indicates maneuvering speed is 125mph/109kt CAS. It does not specify different maneuvering speeds for...

Don't do it. It's terrible form and if you make it a habit you will fly an arc to your destination. Do it frequently enough and you'll...

No.

I think you misunderstood me. The question is not testing your memorization, since you do not have to memorize anything to answer it. I...

Keywords seem to be "intent...schedule...planned." If I'm a DPE and intend to complete the entire practical test on Monday, and the...

A parallel issue I've discussed with DPEs is that they can't use "bad weather" days to do the oral portion of a checkride. There's no...
