JohnRich 4 #28 June 28, 2005 QuoteQuoteUm, aren't you landing cross-wind in that photo? LOLOLOL! I knew someone would ask me that! We had one of those days that the windsock was moving around a lot - in this case more than 90 degrees. What I do in those situations is pay attention to the changes from about 1500 feet to my turn on final, then I "split the difference" and commit myself to the dominant wind line. Yeah, I had to poke you in the ribs for that one - it was just too easy. Good move on figuring out the wind direction! I do the same thing. If the wind sock is flapping back and forth, just bisect the extremes on both sides and head up the middle. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
