landing in 30kt+ winds, debriefing with cfi nathan ballard

Very cool that Nate did this! He's setting a dangerous precedent!!! Phone-a-CFI

Really enjoyed the addition of CFI Nate.

Great format! I was glad to hear CFI Nate speak to not waiting until the round out/flare to swing the nose around in a xwind. I am also a fan of getting aligned early, and yes it seems like it is one less thing to think about while handling the rest.

This was a great format with Nate and very informative. Thanks

Nice, glad to see you pushing the limits safely. Great job. That took a lot of work

Enjoyed working with you on this! I think it is so terrific that you are using the cameras and telemetry for meaningful debrief. This is fantastic. Well done!

Without a doubt in my mind, that is your best video yet. Great conversation with Nate.

Gentleman, you should make this a series. Great stuff.

Good job walking the rudder pedals, dynamic proactive rudder, to keep your longitudinal axis going down the centerline extended and centerline. This is especially effective in gusty air as it keeps the wing levelled at the same time. If we walk the rudder to bracket/nail the target between our legs, the wing has to stay basically level. Full flaps require emphasis on this as the ailerons are becoming less effect when slower and the extra power needed to stay on glide angle and rate of descent blows more relative wind over the rudder. Because I used and taught full flaps in small airplanes as default, and taught Wolfgang's deceleration on short final coming into ground effect, angling across from downwind corner to upwind big airplane touchdown zone white rectangle was a nada. 1,000 feet of runway is more than enough at 20 or so ground speed.

Ted! Sometimes, you make aviation seem like an extreme sport. Be safe! 😅

Figlet for the win. :)

the first landing was with flaps or without?

You should drop the typing intro. It's unpleasant
