12/16/2022 – Local Solo w/High Winds

KBNA > KXNX

Video shows approach and landing at Nashville. Winds reported 16 knots gusting 26 knots.

I did maneuvers to the east of KXNX (Music City Executive). I did not land at KXNX because the wind was directly crosswind and >10kts. I went back to Nashville and although the wind was 9 knts (crosswind 5.8 kts) when I first entered the area, they increased to 16 kts (crosswind 10.3 kts) during my final approach.

Maneuvers – two steep angle turns and several “turns around a point” using that intersection as my reference point
