Pfft, if you can’t fly in that you don’t deserve a certificate.

I have landed in 60+ winds before. Really, really short roll out...

Taxiing might be harder than the landing.

I might be able to handle winds of 60 miles/day

Yes, it was. Especially since the runway was wet. The plane weather vaned as I turned off the runway. The tug was heavy enough that it wasn't bothered by the wind, so it towed the plane from there.

Yes agreed, with ADSB out you should be able to land just fine.
Also, aren't Fargo runways like 2000ft wide
Landing? Yea, nuh bruh.... I was talking about punching through that squall line. I just watched a yewetoob vid on how to navigate purple and white dB returns safely on nexrad. So I’m pretty confident.

I was wondering if by some miracle one taxis to the runway, release the brakes .... it should just fly on its own, in theory at least. Man I could saved a lot of gas today

Ok now I am confused... what else other than ADSB would you use to punch through squall lines?

My plane spent much of its life in SD. I picked it up in MN and on check-out day it was blowing 35kts plus that had some crosswind component to it, just can't recall. I asked the then owner if he was comfortable giving me a checkout in the 'breezy' conditions. He said that if we waited for the wind to quit blowing they would never fly in MN lol

Who needs a runway? Just hover over the tiedown spot until the line guys come out to snag your tiedown rings with grappling hooks.Sporty landings on 18

Are you landing on 22 or runway 04 if you are traveling backwards? Can you do a backwards straight in approach?
