Short video of a A2A PA-28 in a heavy cross wind landing 196@19 kts gusting to 30 kts. on runway 24. The cross runway is 14-32. It was a lot of fun getting her down this close to the center line. My airspeed was a little low over the numbers. The plane was at max gross when I took off 8 nm away at 5N7. I think the extra weight help this time!!

I tried the flight again the next day and had to abort after a bounce. I then flew a few miles south and landed at 3GM on runway 18. That was a little easier, but still tough. That was a very rough day for flying in West Michigan.

Re: Cross Wind Landing at KMKG
Yes really nice crosswind technique. As you've mentioned the speed was a bit low especially with the gusts! But other than that very good job I'd say!
