Fun flight...

Post by nwadc10 »

"A quick recount of my real world flight tonight...on approach to MSP at 4000 ft we had a 60 kt crosswind. Almost had to look out the captain's window to see the runway...almost but not quite. at 2300 ft (apt elev. 840) it was a 47 kt crosswind. The autopilot almost couldn't stay on the localizer, had to bracket a few times before finally centering. Wind on the rwy was a non-factor. Fun... :) Justin"

Bit more crosswind and your landing would have been on CNN. :wink:
