Airfoil Crosswind Threshold 
Pilot Institute
MARCH 28, 2025
When air flows over the aircraft wing, the shape of the airfoil creates low pressure above the wing and relatively higher pressure below the wing. As at higher altitudes, the vortex movement near the ground is affected by crosswinds. This distance is measured when the preceding aircraft is over the runway threshold.

And then when you get down near the threshold, you just hold it off and gently let the wheels down. I have actually taxied out with a semi-crosswind where I just turned around and came back in because I could not control the airplane with the earlier brakes. It is a terrible airplane for crosswinds.
