But landing it safely on the runway is a skill. Brief that you will use the right rudder to align the aircraft straight with the runway and the left aileron to counteract drift. Depending on the wind direction and airport surroundings, you may experience some turbulence. This will reduce your workload in turbulent conditions.

While we had a pretty short taxi to the runway, there was then a queue for takeoff. We were cleared for takeoff on runway 8R at 9:25PM. I was expecting there would be bad turbulence, but to my surprise, it was just really light chop. At 9:05PM we pushed back, and the safety video was screened at the same time.

Immediately, the pilot monitoring told the passengers to buckle up as the pilot flying disengaged the autopilot and pushed the stick forward into a smooth but rapid descent.

On downwind, ATC had me at 3,000 feet going over the departure end of the crossing runway. I could see that the spot on the ground in the windshield that was not moving was short of the runway. This meant that I could land normally on the runway, not overshoot, and did not need to be concerned with the airliners on the crossing runway.
