Crosswind Landings / "Impossible Landing" TE / Crosswind landing advice

I love how after the aircraft stopped he made sure to reset the Master Caution light. That made it all better!
As my coworker used to say: “A caution light that can be reset and will return to off state then is no real fault.”

If you’re not going to apply the Drift C/O switch (i.e. pin the FPM to HUD Center), then put the FPM on the runway and fly to hold it there …. your FPM was all over the place … like you were flying the ‘nose’ of the plane and not the FPM.
(MHO, :2cents: and worth what you paid for it.)
Disabling drift C/O is part of the landing checklist.

Another quality instructional video on the Be More Stupid forum.

Not crabbing the plane correctly
The F-16 crabs for you thanks to the FLCS and ARI. If any additional crabbing is needed on the pilot’s part then he’s probably exceeding the plane’s safe x-wind landing limit (25kts).
-
Bad landing, bad approximation……everything was BAD …8-)
-
I love it when you hit the master caution light at the end, classic
-
It’s like the check engine light… it annoys me
-
ill have to practice using drift c/o. i’ve always done Flounder’s alternate suggestion, flying the FPM and its worked so far flawlessly.

phait, what a/c are you using? B or D? The sound is so different from what I’m used to hearing on my end - I doubt it’s my speakers on this mobile platform, but still… or maybe it’s because it’s the first video I’ve been able to watch? What a difference connection speed makes - my home speed is so slow I’d still be waiting for the video box picture to come up …
Nice compensation for the wind there, but your aim point was way too far forward. But you knew that already. The white on white lights were clue one. What I don’t understand is why didn’t you roll the thing? Every time I’ve been in that situation I loose more than just the one wheel. Still can’t get over the sound difference. And you didn’t get to spin it on the ground, always a croud pleaser! At least you didn’t have to do a three point landing - oh how fun those are. You want some real fun? Try bailing right before landing - wait a min., that wasn’t in an aircraft. Never mind.

I believe I’m using custom sounds found in this thread https://www.benchmarksims.org/forum/showthread.php?14677-Custom-Modded-Folder
It’s probably a D (never heard of a B)

B is the 2 seater A. D is the 2 seater C. Thanks for the intel.

what is the drift c/o switch? please explain, i don’t see it in the falcon docs

what part of the landing?? the fact that he didn’t land a normal approach?? he nailed the landing over the crosswind limit of the f-16 and stayed on the runway…

bad piloting
Please submit your video showing how the F-16 is set down in a 38kt crosswind. I want to see what you do differently. :munch:

ok thanks for that, so that’s why my FPM is way off to the side, left side = crosswind from the right. by default its in NORM so no reason to mess with it unless dealing with crosswinds at high altitude.

Did not say it was a bad landing (if you like to play russian roulette)
I said it is bad piloting to even try to land a viper above crosswind limitations.
Good piloting plans a alternate with Runway into the wind.read up
