  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…

  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…

  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…

  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…

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…
