Today was windy and gusty... and really not nice. With N wind we used RW01, we would first circle abeam TWR, before imitating engine failure. We then had to position around 1000ft AGL at the treshold. Emergency check, fuel, selector, pump... we performed 4 landings under very bumpy conditions, with the last one we were pushed to the grass next to the RW. Yeah a go around would have been better.
Next flight took us back on a fight against the wind and bumpy conditions. We performed 6 landings, there being downthrust and upthrusts, and changing winds we had to fight. We preferred being high and only using flaps 2 at the end. We also wanted to be a bit higher with IAS to have better control.
I was glad to be done (and sea sick) but I had to at least experience these conditions before.
