Steve: The tower reported wind on the ground is no indication of the wind "upstairs", as we know. Are you suggesting that you like your attitude to be "wing low" throughout your entire approach, or just at round out to flair, and how do you determine when you actually encounter the X-wind condition? What one sees on a mid-field "soc" is not necessarily what one encounters at the threshold. In my opinion, ( and you know I'm not the least bit opinionated) I have to continuously "adjust" my approach concerning just about every aspect of it. What the tower says is just a guide to "possible" conditions, and keeps me on my toes. We most times have to "crab" our course, why not the approach as well, if needed? Doug
