Crosswind Landings... But airspeed?

with a sideslip or crabbing.


Beware of flying indicated airspeed during a slipping approach. The
pitot/static system on some giders will give large indicated airspeed
errors when slipping. As an extreme example my ASW-19 read zero
airspeed in a full rudder slip, probably due to the nose pot pitot.
You need to know your glider and fly the appropriate attitude rather
than the ASI.
