Hah! The day I went for my PP-SEL checkride back in late 1991 was much like that. I had no idea whether I'd passed until the the examiner signed my ticket back in the FBO. His comment was something to the effect of: Son, you're far from perfect but today was NASTY, and since I never had to land your plane for you, you're good to go.
That examiner was very cool. He was something like 75 years old at the time. Once of his questions was: What do you do if you accidentally stray into a TCA (now Class B) while squawking VFR? Uh, call 'em up and beg forgiveness? Hell no! You turn your transponder OFF and head for to the this tiny little airport over here that's outside the TCA. Now if they noticed you, they'll still have a primary return on you, so you fly the pattern, do a couple of touch touch & gos. They'll lose your primary every time. Then you head over to this other airport over here and do the same thing. By the time you land back at your home field, they'll never able to prove it was you.
Anyway, there's a zillion cross wind landing videos. Even dead stick landings are pretty common. But have you ever seen a dead-stick takeoff?
