 Re: crosswind ?
A steady crosswind isn't too bad as long as it's within the limitations for your airplane.
On the other hand, as my experience last week is a perfect example of, when they're swirling and gusting and completely unpredictable, you need to be on your toes. Well, stay off your toes because you don't want to hit the brakes by accident when you finally do get on the ground safely.
I consider myself to have at least average piloting skills and it took me three tries to get the plane down safely with a gusting, swirling crosswind.
