Today we launched into scattered clouds @ 4000 ft and lots of wind at 11 am. The wind today was 20 gusting 25 and coming in on 18. Our runway of choice today was 16. Which according to my crosswind component chart gave us a headwind of 18 to 19 knots and a crosswind of about 7 knots. Well within the allowable range in our 1976 C172M model. We decided to take 508 up again today. In fact, I am going to try to stay with 508 for the rest of my ppl training. She's a good plane with few squawks to contend with. And we seem to get along with each other.
A windy day to fly )
