Thanks for the support…
I made a pretty nice landing in my Husky at San Antonio International last week with 20 knots across the runway. On rollout, the controller and I had the following conversation:
Controller: That was a pretty stiff crosswind.
Me: Yeah, I was looking for “10” cards up in the tower cab but couldn’t see any.
Controller: That’s ’cause we had our hands on the crash phones.
Short Final
Key Takeaways:
- A pilot successfully executed a challenging landing of a Husky aircraft at San Antonio International amid a strong 20-knot crosswind.
- The air traffic controller humorously implied the landing was a close call, stating they were on the "crash phones" rather than scoring the pilot's performance.
