Crosswind Landing Tips

Here I come with the new and the first tips. The tips are about Crosswind Landing. I will teach you how to do the Crosswind Landing. Read :
1.About 4-5 miles from the airport lower your flaps two 50% and set throttle to 70% ( tap 7)
2.On Final approach make sure your flaps are at full and you are going with the wind direction( the aircraft will automatically turn into the wind if you 
start out leveled) and set throttle to 60% 
( normally here I would say 40% but because you have winds, you want to have enough speed to stay in the air. You should be descending at about       
200FPM and be at 700-800 feet now.
3.On Short Final, dont change anything, if you have to adjust throttle accordingly to stay in the air. 
I recommend somewhere between 50%-80% throttle.
4.Now when your are about 10-20 ( its hard to know on the gauge so just estimate), start using the rudder 
and align with the runway, the wind will push you to the side but this will prevent you from flipping over 
( I learned that the hard way)
