After having read all the posts in the previous thread, no one said a word
about de right airspeed to keep along the final approach... whatever this is done
with a sideslip or crabbing.

I am wondering what should be the right airspeed (calculated or not, 1.3 Vs + wind speed)
to get in a crosswind landing.

What about a straight 90 degrees crosswind, or more?

I wouldn't turn back ON the old "Crosswind Landings" thread!
Just wish to talk about the airspeed to get according different wind speeds and gusts!


There, yer just said it - wind speeds and gusts (namely gusts).
Nothin' to do with crosswinds (same speed applies).

Admittedly, if you're going to take a slightly longer flare (to get
'crossed up' and lined up), one might consider adding an extra knot or
two to allow for that - as well as the extra drag while yer crossed up.
