SEL 'FIRM' landings

1) In any choice situation, take the crosswind from the right. Be especially wary of left crosswinds. (I have not seen this published anywhere) Can you expand on that a bit, please? I'm not sure I see where you're going with this. When the nose is high in the flare, if you have to add power for any reason, P-factor will tend to add to your problems with a wind from the left and help you with a wind from the right. In addition, I've always found that slipping into a wind from the right gives me better visibility in the high-wing aircraft I've owned. George Patterson Coffee is only a way of stealing time that should by rights belong to your slightly older self.
