Pascal DucheminKCCR 2O3 KCCRFlight following - Xwind landing 2O3
----------------
I left out of runway 32R and climbed to 2500 on my way to Angwin Parrett. I contacted Travis app for flight following. When getting closer to Napa airspace, I asked if I was clear into it, which the controller told me I was not. I climbed by a couple hundred feets. When I started flying in between the Napa area hills, the controller told me to sqwak VFR. There was no AWOS at Angwin, after flying over the field, I saw that runway 16 was the ideal runway (but wih a fairly decent Xwind). When on short final with 30 degrees flaps, I realized that it might have had been better to have 20 degrees. I did not want to change my configuration so close to the ground. Even though the runway was just 3200, I had enough room to complete my landing safely. A few bumps occurred when fairly closed to the ground, due to the airport being at the top of a hill with trees all around. This was a great landing, but I made it down OK. I had brought a folding back with me, so took the opportunity to visit the campus that was down the hill. After abou an hour, I came back to the airport. There are no taxiways, so I backed taxied all the way to runway 16. The flight back at 3500 was quite uneventful
