Default No more "Left Downwind"?

north... Hell, I flunked by first checkride for my PPL because I
crabbed into a nonexistant crosswind and landed with my nosewheel 3 ft
off the centerline (of the 100 ft wide runway)... In all my flying at
that airport, I had *never* encountered wind directly straight down
the runway and it just so happened that it was that way on my
checkride...


Where is it in the Private PTS that the nose wheel has to be on or within
x feet of centerline?


Well, if it was three feet off the centerline while the mains were
equidistant from it because he was crabbed into a nonexistent crosswind...
