Approach Crosswind Pitot Tube 
Plane and Pilot

In fact, the unusual pitot-tube location—it peeks out from the center of the prop spinner—was chosen to reduce fuselage-to-wing connections. Sure, the economics put the airplane in the high-value category in the wild world of 2024 aviation, but this approach ignores what it’s like to fly the RV-12. It actually feels slower.

There was a nice crosswind, and I demonstrated landing on a concrete expansion joint, offset from the runway centerline. Repairs included replacing the pitot tube/angle-of-attack sensor and the outside air temperature probe. Hmm, OK, how about the LPV approach? We have to ask for GPS approaches.)
