I fly in Wyoming. Winter time wind gusts can get insane. I have landed in 18 kn of wind gusting to 30. The trick there is to land with one notch of flaps or no flaps. Make the landing lower flatter and shallower. The lowest possible profile into the wind is best. Keep a little bit of power on to battle gusts that will slow the plane down too much.
Love your videos. UK student pilot here. Only 20 landings so far but getting better each time. Our aerodrome has one long and one short grass runway. It sits ahead of some hills near the coast. Being the UK, calm days are rare. Trees surround the thresholds from any direction. The short grass runway is quite a challenge in gusty conditions, especially if you're attempting to give yourself enough room for a touch and go. A couple of touch n go's became full stops or go-around's when gusts decided either lift and shove me at the last minute. Your analogy of "riding the waves" resonated with me. Just passed my UK Air Law this weekend in preparation for my first solo. Loving every second of it. Whilst some of the procedural stuff is different across the Atlantic, the techniques are universal. Just wanted to thank you for sharing your experience. Stay safe.
You're an amazing teacher. I have been watching your videos for over 2 years now and I just want to say thank you! I wish I could log some dual with you at some point!
Starting my aviation journey soon. Love your videos Jason. Best landing and take off videos I've ever seen on TH-cam. Looking forward to the days I can land confidently and have as much fun as you. 🙂
Another great video and explanation of how to handle some unfavorable conditions. And thank you for showing the turbulence you were experiencing. It seems these TH-cam aviators, with all their fancy editing, never experience turbulence. It had me thinking I was the only pilot who ever experienced it in this modern technologically advanced world....haha
Hi Jason - fanfastic video! I love the calm and positive vibe whenever you talk. I would love to see you doing another video here in Sedona, AZ for the crosswind, gustry landing you were talking about. Please let me know if you are interested. I am a local CFI / check airman. Best - Roger.
Hey Jason, you should maybe drop some comments on how to handle airspeed in no wind vs gusty conditions, like Vref and how to calculate it. As we all know, we should NOT approach a runway with a normal no wind approach speed compared to gusty conditions. 👌
Three times I had some side load on the plane in stronger/gusty wind. Each time the left main wheel comes up some and I go to the left. Is this because I may not be "flying the airplane" to the hanger? I cant remember what my actions were but wondering if once I touched down I relaxed the rudder and wind corrections
No mention of why he only used 10 degrees of flaps as apposed to full. No mention of why you want to come in faster. Ive noticed a lot of his videos are for those with prior knowledge and just surface level materiel.

Was literally struggling with this last week so thanks for the video haha!

Your videos really helped me solve me landing issues in my Commanche.

Needed this one of my hardest parts landing in wind I always use no flaps the cross wind scares the crap out of me Jason

Awesome video! Well done sir!
Another good video, like the vibe, I find slipping with little or no flaps & extra speed works well. Thanks Jason!
Excellent Training Video! Thank You Jason.

As a student this is gold.
Excellent video, see you at Oshkosh!
Great refresher video !
Pure passion

beautiful gusty windy landing!!
I think I saw my house down there!!!
Nice!
Hi Jason,
Thoughts on Dan Gryder's Comments?
Do you offer a refresher course in person and prep for written?

Why use any flaps in this situation?
14 gusting to 19?? Normal day for me at my home airport!
No mention of why he only used 10 degrees of flaps as apposed to full. No mention of why you want to come in faster. Ive noticed a lot of his videos are for those with prior knowledge and just surface level materiel.
Move to Colorado and this is all you’ll ever do 🤣
Nice video ! You add all gust speed (19kts) in your IAS or the difference between wind and gust ?
Audio is a bit distracting. To close to your mouth? Lots of air noise?
