Hi guys
This is slightly off topic but just another example of how versitile these ac are. When I returned from Nelson on Sunday the wind at our airport was directly across the runway at 22 gusting 28 knots! Fortunately it is 200 feet wide. By coming in clean , a bit faster than normal and angling , utilizing the full width I managed to land smoothly in about 300 feet.
Not sure exactly how but even the controller was impressed!
Anyway I am sure some of you guys do this all the time but normally here in the Valley with 2 long lakes at either end of the runway we don't get much practice at cross wind operation.. These are amazing little aircraft
Cheers
Don
