"Cross Control" is a technique that some pilots use to keep the nose of the airplane pointed straight down the runway when the wind is trying to blow the plane off course. Dropping the windward wing and applying opposite rudder feels un-natural at first, but with practice becomes a technique that pilots trust in to bring them a perfect landing even during rough weather. Our family applies another form of "Cross Control" to hold course even when winds of life try to blow us away from our intended direction. This page offers personal insight and favorite resources for our form of "Cross Control".
