If utilizing Runway 17 with left traffic, the crosswind turn will be heading 080, downwind 350, base 260, etc. VFR to MVFR…then 2 miles visibility and a ceiling of 1,200 feet agl. Then the CFI should increase the winds so they are 10 knots (or more) above the demonstrated crosswind component. What could go wrong?

Weather conditions on Groundhog Day were better than the week prior, characterized by a high ceiling and no thin screen of clouds hiding the ground from view. In the descent, wind direction rotated counterclockwise until it became a direct southerly crosswind. Same course, same altitude, same frequency handoffs as the week prior.

I was intrigued by what appeared to be a grass crosswind runway at North Bass Island, but no such runway is listed in official publications. Though I am no geologist, I found myself biting my tongue whenever the tour guide -- who otherwise did a fine job -- referred to the ceiling-bound mineral formations as "stalagtites".

We may be the best pilot ever born, but we can’t force a tired Skyhawk to climb above its genuine absolute ceiling, undefined by any performance chart. But the reported ceiling was only 400 feet at the appointed hour. All three sets of limitations will combine to affect the outcome of our flight.
