Chapter 9: Approaches and Landings › Crosswind Approach and Landing › Maximum Safe Crosswind Velocities
Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), it is flight tested to ensure it meets certain requirements. Among these is the demonstration of being satisfactorily controllable with no exceptional degree of skill or alertness on the part of the pilot in 90° crosswinds ... means a wind speed of two-tenths of the airplane’s stalling speed with power off and in landing configuration. The demonstrated crosswind velocity is included on a placard in airplanes certificated after May 3, 1962. The headwind component…

Chapter 5: Maintaining Aircraft Control: Upset Prevention and Recovery Training › Slow Flight
stall speed is a good target. ⦁ Performing slow flight in configurations appropriate to takeoffs, climbs, descents, approaches to landing, and go-arounds. Slow flight should be introduced with the target airspeed sufficiently above the stall to permit safe maneuvering ... determine the target airspeed is to slow the aircraft to the stall warning when in the desired slow flight configuration, pitch the nose down slightly to eliminate the stall warning, and add power to maintain altitude and note the airspeed…

Chapter 13: Transition to Multiengine Airplanes › Terms and Definitions
landing speed—an airspeed used for final approach, which is normally 1.3 times VSO, the stall speed in the landing configuration. The pilot may adjust the approach speed for winds and gusty conditions by using VREF plus an additional number ... climbing at this airspeed. VMC only addresses directional control. Further discussion of VMC as determined during airplane certification and demonstrated in pilot training follows later in this chapter…

undershooting the selected landing area from an entry altitude that permits safe recovery; (B) For the Robinson model R-22 helicopter, autorotations at an entry altitude that permits safe maneuvering and recovery utilizing maximum glide configuration. For the Robinson model ... helicopter, autorotations at an entry altitude that permits safe maneuvering and recovery utilizing maximum glide configuration and minimum rate of descent configuration; (C) Engine rotor RPM control without the use of the governor; and (D) Low rotor RPM recognition…
