arises. Many of the same basic principles and factors involved in a 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…

Chapter 9: Approaches and Landings › Normal Approach and Landing › After-Landing Roll
Procedures for using ailerons in crosswind conditions are explained in the “Crosswind Approach and Landing” section of this chapter. Once the airplane has slowed sufficiently and has turned onto the taxiway and stopped, the pilot performs the after-landing checklist ... Many accidents have occurred as a result of the pilot unintentionally operating the landing gear control and retracting the gear instead of the flap control when the airplane was still rolling. The habit of positively identifying both of these controls…

procedure, some AFM/POHs recommend a slightly slower than normal approach airspeed. If no such slower speed is published, use the AFM/POH-recommended normal approach speed. Full flaps are used to provide the steepest approach angle. If obstacles are present, the approach ... significant risk of retracting the landing gear instead of the wing flaps when flap retraction is attempted on the landing rollout. Landing conditions that involve a short field, high winds, or strong crosswinds are just about the only situations where…
