  Chapter 6: Takeoffs and Departure Climbs › Crosswind Takeoff › Takeoff Roll

  Crosswind Takeoff While it is usually preferable to take off directly into the wind whenever possible or practical, there are many instances when circumstances or judgment indicate otherwise. Therefore, the pilot must be familiar with the principles and techniques involved ... crosswind takeoffs, as well as those for normal takeoffs. A crosswind affects the airplane during takeoff much as it does during taxiing. With this in mind, the pilot should be aware that the technique used for crosswind correction during takeoffs…

  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.

  attitude, lower the water rudders for better directional control. [Figure 6-4] Figure 6-3. Improper technique or excessive crosswind forces can result in an accident. Another technique used to compensate for crosswinds (preferred by many seaplane pilots ... landing, and by choosing a curved path, the pilot can create a sideward force (centrifugal force) to offset the crosswind force. This is done by steering the seaplane in a downwind arc as shown in figure 6-5. During…

  SKIPPING › CROSSWIND TAKEOFFS

  CROSSWIND TAKEOFFS In restricted or limited areas such as canals or narrow rivers, it is not always possible to take off or land directly into the wind. Therefore, acquiring skill in crosswind techniques enhances the safety of seaplane operation. Crosswinds ... float, forcing it deeper into the water and increasing drag on that side. Keep in mind that the allowable crosswind component for a floatplane may be significantly less than for the equivalent landplane. A crosswind has the same effect…
