  Chapter 9: Approaches and Landings › Crosswind Approach and Landing › Maximum Safe Crosswind Velocities

  Maximum Safe Crosswind Velocities Takeoffs and landings in certain crosswind conditions are inadvisable or even dangerous. [Figure 9-18] If the crosswind is great enough to warrant an extreme drift correction, a hazardous landing condition may result. Therefore, the takeoff ... with respect to the reported surface wind conditions and the available landing directions should be considered. Figure 9-18. Crosswind chart. Before an airplane is type certificated by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), it is flight tested to ensure…

  indications. 3. Using excess power while trying to lose altitude. 4. A slip in the same direction as any crosswind. 5. Poor glidepath control. 6. Late transition to a sideslip during landing with crosswinds. 7. Landing without the longitudinal axis ... parallel to runway. 8. Landing off the centerline. Crosswind Approach and Landing Most runways or landing areas are such that landings need to be made while the wind is blowing at an angle to the runway rather than parallel…

  maintain the airplane’s heading with the runway direction. Since the airplane is now exposed to an uncorrected crosswind, the airplane will begin to drift. Note the rate and direction of drift, and oppose it using ailerons resulting in just ... right, and the pilot adjusts control pressures as needed to intercept and maintain the runway centerline. If the crosswind changes, the sideslip is adjusted to keep the airplane in line with the center of the runway. [Figure 9-17] Figure…

  With the main wheels acting as a pivot point and the greater surface area exposed to the crosswind behind that pivot point, the airplane tends to turn or weathervane into the wind. The relative wind acting on an airplane during ... mass is traveling. It has a headwind component acting along the airplane’s ground track and a crosswind component acting 90° to its track. The other factor is the wind induced by the forward movement of the airplane, which acts…

  Chapter 9: Approaches and Landings › Crosswind Approach and Landing › Crosswind Round Out (Flare)

  degree to which flaps are extended vary with the airplane’s handling characteristics, as well as the wind velocity. Crosswind Round Out (Flare) Generally, the round out is made like a normal landing approach, but the application of a crosswind ... airspeed decreases as the round out progresses, the flight controls gradually become less effective. As a result, the crosswind correction being held becomes inadequate. When using the wing-low method, it is necessary to gradually increase the deflection…
