Congratulations!

I am a crabber. I was an airline pilot for years and that is how we land! Crab then kick straight and drop wing.

Thanks for sharing. I’ve used your videos throughout my training and I send my students your way when they have questions and I can’t answer them well enough!!!

Crab until short Final, then transition to Slip ("Straighten up and fly right" as my Instructor used to say) !

Love your energy and positivity Jason. A follower of your work for several years and with every video I learn something new. Thank you!

28/28 Side-slipper, but you make good points so I’ll consider trying crabbing approaches. Oh, and obviously the right answer is strawberry jam and crunchy peanut butter. ;)

28/28. All these amazing videos helped me in my first solo last week. Thanks MazeroA ❤

28/28!!! I prefer the side slip method, because it’s easier for me to do correctly. I’m terrible at crabbing, but as a low hour student, I have time to get better at it. Thank you to the Mzeroa team! YOU ROCK!!!!!

Jason in West Texas we deal with crosswinds every day. In fact we don't know how to land in normal winds!😛Our normal level of cross winds are from 12mph on up (25-30mph). A normal day is 12-17, and you just have to learn how to deal with them in the very early part of your training. To answer your question it is a bit of both (crab and slip). I will crab for the first part of the final approach. Once I get stabilized on centerline, I then will dip the wing in the direction of the wind, release my crab, and get the nose pointed at centerline. I will adjust my dip of the wing and the rudder input until I am stable. I will hold this until touchdown. When dealing with a crosswind you must, repeat must, be stabilized. If you crab all the way in and then change direction to point at the centerline in transition, especially with higher cross wind speeds, you will be more than likely unstable as you go to set the tires down. In higher cross wind speeds you will be pushed off the centerline and are in danger of getting pushed off the runway during a crab only approach. This is my opinion naturally, but once you deal with increased wind speeds you need to adjust your technique to make sure your are a safer pilot. Cheers on the 31 day challenge!

Thanks Jason, I appreciate these videos.

28 for 28 here. I am still learning to crab and side slip to landing. Great video. Thanks Jason for all the effort you put in making this course.

Love the safer pilot challenge jason thanks for pushing aviation safety. Ive always side slipped because when i run out of aileron and rudder i know ive reached my max crosswind component and its time to go somewhere else.

love the videos...I learn something new on each video. THANK YOU!

28 for 28, Jason! I normally crab up to the transition then land using the side slip. At my home airport, the crosswind is almost always from the left. I have to make it a point to go out and find a runway with a crosswind from the right for the practice. Thank you so much, Jason. I’m sure going to miss the SPC at the end of the month. I will definitely consider MZeroA for a rating. 😊👍

28 for 28. I used to be afraid of crosswind landings, now I think my crosswind landings are better than my no wind or straight headwind landings.

Loving these jason

28 for 28. I started off years ago using crabs on crosswinds, but in recent years I’ve started to favor the slips. Thanks Jason!!

28 for 28. I love all the technical aspects that come with crabbing the airplane. Not just for takeoff/landing, but also for taxing

28 for 28! I'm a crabber but i LOVE slips to land. My airport KJZP ALWAYS has wind. I never get to land on a calm day and actually have trouble landing on a wind free day because we always have wind! . I am forever doing crosswind landings which I am grateful for. I'd rather land with a crosswind actually! Thank you for the great demonstration and the whole month of videos, Jason!

28-28 These videos are great. Thank you.

Always a great informative video

Crabber here. I got a new instructor, first crosswind day he asked me what I'd been taught. I'd never done a xw landing! He demo'd slip. I tried a few, not very successful 😅. Next time he demo'd crabbing by first flying low along the runway to show adverse yaw at its best. My understanding had always been that crabbing was tricky, timing the rudder input just before touchdown. In fact I found it all made sense and I use that method now.

28 of 28. I was trained to be a side slipper on landings, but use a crab when I take off. Yes, I'm loving the video series and looking forward to the training on the 31st.

28 for 28! I like the crab to a side slip as well!! Great job!

28/28 …still catching up. The taxing tutorial is very helpful-thank Jason & MzeroA Team!

28-28 completed a few crosswind landings today in my training. This winter has been mostly crosswind flying here in South Alabama.

28/28, and a crabber too! Thanks for the important reminder about crosswind correction on the ground.

28/28. I was taught to side slip, but have been practicing the crab method. Thanks Jason.

All caught up, to 28. Use slip, IF I have to lose altitude ( sometimes stay high, just so ‘I have to’, but normally crab to a couple feet above, and slip onto the runway. Almost don’t think about it anymore. Have gone back to previous year’s 31 Day Challanges - lots of delicious tidbits.

28 for 28! Enjoying the videos!

Side slipper Jason! Hoping everyone at MzeroA Nation is doing well!!!!!

28/28 checking in @ KHPN ! - Great job Jason

Great video instruction, thank you! By the way we wear coats, jackets, and hug blankets in 80 degree weather here in Texas. That is winter for us!🤣

Both! Crabbing first and then transition into a slip. So you will be able to land on very high X-Winds. Moth people underestimate the amount the wind slows down near the ground.

28/28 I really am going to be sad when they are all over. I'm doing everything I can to just pay for training and just cant swing the monthly payments for MzeroA. So as someone who is trying to follow his dream despite the odds I truly thank you for all the information and help you give for free even to those of us that don't have the means to go farther. Your whole team is truly making the sky and ground safer for everyone. Have an amazing day!!

I also just went up once a month to keep the dream alive. Some people just have to work a lot harder at things to make it happen, doesn't mean you should just give up.

28/28. I love the videos. Thanks

28 for 28, sideslip, grape jelly, and crunchy peanut butter. Thanks for the help.

28 for 28. First drone pilot to get this far❤❤❤❤

28 for 28 in 2023! I have always side slipped in a crosswind landing. One of they days I will try the crab. Thanks for the tip!

28 for 28 good series.

I’m a Crabber. Thanks for Sharing.

28/28, Thanks for the heads up, Keep it on the Center line..

Nice

Probably slip, makes it easier on both 3 point and wheel landings. Side load = ground loop. Great tip from my aerobatics instructor, on the ground put your hand out the window, you can feel if you have prop wash on your hands, then "into the wind" controls. If you feel wind on the back of your hands then "dive away" controls.

28/28! Love X wind landings. Crab down to flare for me

Thx

28/28 and my answer to the first question is "yes". I use both, but honestly more often crab.

28/28. I used to cross control however I'm going to try both with my new RV-12 and see what works best for me.

28/28 crosswind landing critical skill to develop and practice. Thank you

@28. Pushing thru here!

28/28 I usually slip all the way unless it is. Strong crosswind, the I usually crab.

28 for 28, although I'm catching up from a few days behind. I tend to be more of a side-slipper on short final, although I do both. Arguments can be made for both. As a tailwheel pilot, one thing is very important...you GOTTA keep that nose pointed forward on touchdown. Any sideload on a tailwheel airplane risks ground-looping, especially on pavement, which is less forgiving than turf in sideload situations.

28/28. Both; depends entirely on the wind and the airplane’s response.

28/28. Crabber to side slip, but I gotta be honest, landing on one wheel in a low wing plane is still tough for me.

28 for 28. I always side-slipped when I was learning. Today I crabbed and that seemed to work well.

I crab up to the start of the flare then cross control to set up the slip. The first student drill is to rudder the nose 5 degrees to the left without raising the right wing. Hold for 1 second then release back to straight and level. Now do this in the opposite direction. This drill teaches the student that we start with rudder and use ailerons as needed. Feet first! Then I would split the controls. The student concentrates on the rudder and I fly the yoke and power. After a few touch and go's we switch. I take the rudder and the student takes the yoke and power. When the student can handle both well, it's time to let the student take the entire landing. Oh, and it is actually easier to teach in higher cross winds so the student needs significant rudder and opposite aileron. When the student can do one wheel touch and go's in 15 kt cross winds, he is ready to solo in Wyoming. 5000 hr CFI&I 25000 hr+ ATP

28/28. Great subject.

28 for 28. You show try to land an Ercoupe with a good crosswind. Fun.

Playing catch-up for yesterday, but I’m back on track. 28/28. I prefer crabbing, but several instructors talked me out of it because “it’s disorienting to passengers.”

28/28 nicely done Jason. Crabber

28/28. I generally crab until short final but far enough out to where I have enough time to judge how much control input I need to correct for the crosswind

28/28. Love your videos

I mostly prefer the slip method into landing. However, I do sometimes practice the crab method when doing touch and go landings with crosswinds by alternating slip and crab method. At home thinking between the crab or slip into landing method, I think if I fly airplanes with low wings I'd probably use the crab method more to avoid damage to the wing from scratching the surface of the ground. If I'm reading your crab method correctly, I think you have the instructional steps for slip in the Turning Final instead of the crab. "Ailerons turned into the wind" and "apply rudder to align with runway center" sounded contrary to when you were speaking and doing turning the nose into the wind with the rudder and some aileron control to adjust the flight path.

28 for 28 from Hungary🇭🇺 I’m mostly a crabber, but sometimes I do need to slip it on final as well.

28 for 28. Have to bring the “challenge accepted” attitude with crosswind landings

28/28 I like both. I try to crab on final then slip right before touchdown.

28/28. Good stuff

Interesting how you mentioned not adding flaps in a turn; I always avoid doing that.

28/28 side slipper! And crunchy peanut butter!😂

28/28. good info 😊

28/28 👍 Nice explanation. I always pick something up from your videos

28/28. Thanks.

As a student I'm being taught to side-slip into a crosswind landing

28/28 enjoy them all

28/28 side slipper but need to learn to crab more! 🦀

28 for 28 -- almost at the finish line !!!

28/28 didn't have yet a real crosswind landing, but I'm learning all available theory.

28/28, Cool video!. I think I'll be a crabber.

28 for 28: I am a crabber. Great video on the techniques.

28/28 thank you

28 for 28 lm a crabber then side slip great video

28-4-28!!!😮🎉

I am both

28428.. Dive away is excellent instructions

At what point upon landing are applying right rudder to land parallel in 280 degree crosswind landing?

28/28!

was really crossy today.... i spent all morning doing short field cross wind landings lol

I am a crabber, until I start the flare. Then, I'm a slipper... My CFII friend is an old timer and a definite crabber all the way to touchdown... 28/28

28 out of 28. I do the side slip

28 of 28

Great videos...instructors should go out of their way to teach cross wind landings and takeoff...seek the wind and make your students more confident.

28 for 28. I prefer the crab method Most of my training with instructors was with this method. Tried once the slip method with an instructor. Would not be comfortable with passengers

28/28 Done many times in my glider, especially when 'Landing out'. In effect any landing in a glider is effectively a controlled crash. I always cringe when I see single engined planes flying at say 500ft, as at that height I would be constantly looking for likely landing sites, in fact at anything near 1000ft and i can glide to one, but power does not have much time to do that! Just saying.

28 for 28 enjoying this

28/28 Crab!

28/4/28 ✈️👍❤️

Both actually; I crab until 200 ft agl ish and then go to sideslip to land on axis and on centerline

28 for 28. I would say I’m a crabber as I haven’t tried side slips to a landing.

28/28. Crabber all day - easier to transition for me

Crab and creamy/strawberry at 28:28
