Orma, He is stating that if you land on the downwind edge of the runway and cross to the upwind edge by the time you stop, then you have changed your runway direction by a few degrees. Must be a pretty darn good pilot to do that!!! Wouldn't it be nice to have big round runways then we could always land directly into the wind.

Perhaps more explanation is in order. The bottom line for me is to try an approach to an airport, if I don't feel perfectly comfortable attempting the landing, I'll go somewhere else. At 80 MPH slipping bumping doing all the other things it takes to land, I don't see how you could remember any of that . Perhaps I have it all wrong and this information is only to be used for takeoff.
