Just a funny little story...

I was landing a C172 the other day with the family aboard. We were on
final with a pretty decent cross wind from the right. I dipped the
right wing down a little, maintained track with opposite rudder,
touched down right main first, etc... You know, just the standard,
every day, boring, low-wing-into-the-wind approach.


Good post.

Passenger discomfort it the reason my last CFI suggested I should become
proficient at, if not switch exclusively to, crab landings. The passengers
may be interested that the nose is pointed left or right, but even a modest
amount of prolonged banking may freak out some more sensitive passnegers.
