  • Chapter 6: Takeoffs and Departure Climbs › Crosswind Takeoff › Lift-Off

    acceptable and is preferable to side-skipping. If a significant crosswind exists, the pilot should hold the main wheels on the ground slightly longer than in a normal takeoff so that a smooth but very definite lift ... control and helps it remain airborne while the pilot establishes the proper amount of wind correction. More importantly, this procedure avoids imposing excessive side-loads on the landing gear and prevents possible damage that would result from the airplane settling…

  • Chapter 2: Ground Operations › After-Landing

    brought to full takeoff power includes: 1. Doors latched and windows closed as required? 2. Controls positioned to account for any crosswind? 3. Power correct? 4. Engine rpm normal? 5. Engine smooth? 6. Engine instruments normal and in green ranges ... centerline with ailerons and heading down runway with rudder pedals, the airplane should be gradually slowed to normal taxi speed with normal brake pressure before turning off of the landing runway. Any significant degree of turn at faster speeds could…

  • Chapter 9: Approaches and Landings › Crosswind Approach and Landing

    normal approach and landing apply to a crosswind approach and landing; therefore, only the additional procedures required for correcting for wind drift are discussed here. Crosswind landings are a little more difficult to perform than crosswind takeoffs, mainly…
