Crosswind Approach and Landing - Common Errors
...	• Attempting to land in crosswinds that exceed the airplane’s maximum demonstrated crosswind component
...	• Inadequate compensation for wind drift on the turn from base leg to final approach, resulting in undershooting or overshooting
...	• Inadequate compensation for wind drift on final approach
...	• Unstable approach
...	• Failure to compensate for increased drag during sideslip resulting in excessive sink rate and/or too low an airspeed
...	• Touchdown while drifting
...	• Excessive airspeed on touchdown
...	• Failure to apply appropriate flight control inputs during rollout
...	• Failure to maintain direction control on rollout
...	• Excessive braking
...	• Loss of aircraft control
