When I was young I was in air cadets and got my glider pilot's licence.. Gliders obviously can't do go arounds so when you have to land, you land.
That was a long time ago but I do recall being talked through doing a "kick it straight at the right time" landing by my instructor (in the glider, but hands off), but I can't remember if it was actually in a cross wind that had kicked up or if it was contrived (i.e. I was flying uncoordinated to simulate).
I do remember where we had one day where we got a strong wind and had to stop flying, and the last one to come in looked almost like it was landing vertically.
