Comments on: X-Wind landings: Just follow the stripe http://blog.aopa.org/blog/?p=161 Online perspective from the editors of "AOPA Pilot".

The same advice applies to aerobatics and inverted flight: instead of trying to remember confusing rules of thumb, point the airplane where you want it to go, and do what comes naturally.

We miss you here in Atlanta, but it’s great to see you in AOPA Pilot.

I seem to do OK on a crosswind landing (haven’t bent any metal on one yet) but feel that I am just a step too slow sometimes. Any other advice would be appreciated. DT
