A faster, reduced-flaps approach improves aircraft control during strong crosswinds or gusts. On a normal landing, you’d pull the power over the threshold, begin your roundout, and flare around 10 feet AGL. When crossing the threshold, start reducing the power. The sudden loss of lift can cause the wheels to dig into the ground.

Once there, he put us in a slight right turn toward our first fuel stop 60 miles ahead, continuously fighting the stick as the gusting left crosswind did its best to push us off course.
