To go around or not go around? - Video

Well..

......having previously owned a 172, I think I would have continued the
landing as this pilot did...

(Now , remember this is judging only from the vid)

If this had been a "bounce" that may have compromised directional
control, I probably would have gone around..

Less flaps would have helped....

I was to go with a friend as I had not flown with him since he getting
his PPL

Winds were above his Xwind limits so I told him grab a CFI to
experience what I considered rather mild crosswinds. I told him I
wouldn't be comfortable from the right seat and I am not a CFI but
today was certainly a flyable day. So he called his brother who is a
CFI.

It would be interesting to hear what others would have done on the
first landing.

My "Howard Cosell" in the action commentary is in the video.

Good point on the flaps. I think the general consensus is the landing
was appropriate.
