Lately, I’ve been training in some pretty challenging wind conditions—and doing really well! But this day ended up being a bit more than I bargained for. The winds kept picking up, and I figured it was a good opportunity to keep pushing my limits while I had my instructor with me. Well… I found my limits. 😅

In the gusty crosswinds at the grass strip, I slipped back into an old bad habit—trying to force the plane to land before it was truly ready. These aren’t the most fun flying days, but they’re the ones where you learn the most. Sometimes, you’ve just got to grab an instructor and see what you’re made of.
