Once you have piloted a plane yourself you begin to understand the problems that all pilots face in takeoffs and landings

 Any idiot with a manual from any small plane can usually take a plane off a runway and get it into the air.

However, landing a plane is about 10 to 20 times harder than taking off a plane. So, when non-pilot idiots take off in a plane without authorization they often die from doing this maybe 8 times out of 10.

Unless you have been taught by someone to land a plane you likely are not going to survive it.

This is even more true during a crosswind.

One might take off in a cross wind as an inexperience pilot but this is unlikely because one of your wing tips will tend to touch the ground and often you will crash in takeoff unless you have flown a plane a lot before.

Then if you get up into the air your plane in a cross wind is going to do all sorts of strange things. So, even if you take off and immediately try to land because you know you just might have killed yourself then you cannot deal with the cross wind.

Why?

Because in a cross wind where you are headed is not where you are going to go.

In a crosswind you have to land basically sideways with your nose headed into the wind or you are going to miss the runway entirely and land somewhere else and usually crash if it isn't the runway. And even if you get on the runway the cross wind might flip the plane over in the direction of the wind.

So, on a calm day with no wind a person might survive if they had never flown before in a plane taking off and landing but in a cross wind most inexperienced pilots are going to die without an instructor on board when they try to land that plane.
