Cross Wind Landing

This is my recent cross wind landing at KACK (Nantucket, MA).

The wind was 010 at 16 knots, gusting to 22 knots, while runway 6 was under use.

Cross wind landings are always fun and challenging... You bank into the wind with ailerons so you do not drift away from the runway.  The nose points into the wind, away from the runway center line. Just at the moment of touchdown, you use the rudder to straighten the nose so that you do not land sideways.
