Because of my widely varied experience with obstacles interacting with
crosswinds, I struggle to pick the *best* runway or landing spot. Is it
better to bet on an obstacle reducing the crosswind, or is that obstacle
likely to cause a burble that will result in a rotten (or exciting)
landing? I'm still trying to crack the code on this one...

Thoughts?

Hi KB;

The way I've always handled this and taught others to handle it is NEVER
to fly ANY approach based entirely on expected wind conditions.

Agreed 100%, Dudley.

What's your experience along the following line:

This (insert lengthy experience based finding here) seems to be a workable
rule of thumb for picking a good touchdown point for taking advantage or
minimizing the negative impact of local obstacles to the wind.
