Default Close to solo

I had one CFI do this for me during my Private training. Something to keep
in mind is you'll need less rudder input doing this maneuver than a power
off flare, due to the prop wash helping the rudder authority.
Still, good practice.

Said its for cross
wind landings practice. Anyone else doing this?


My instructors never did that, but they should have... it's a great idea.
Crosswind landings require some very unnatural control inputs and getting
you used to them with some exercises before trying a real crosswind

landing
shows you have a good instructor.
