2.
Land with FLAPS set to NEUTRAL. The A/C has the tendency to float
longer than normal and touch-down with a higher speed. The landing-
gear’s directional-stability reduces the A/C’s sensitivity to crosswind
during the ground-roll.
Due to the change in stall-speed, it is recommended to INCREASE the
approach-speed from normally 60 kts / 110 km/h by 4 kts / 8 km/h to 64
kts / 118 km/h with the FLAPS set to NEUTRAL.
In crosswind-conditions, two different APPROACH-PROCEDURES are
possible. These can be combined as necessary:
3.
Approach with longitudinal-axis of the fuselage aligned with the RWY.
Move the aircraft into a slip by lowering the upwind wing. This is the
steady-heading-sideslip-procedure recommended for powered A/C. It
has the advantage, that the attitude usually does not need to be
changed until touch-down. This procedure has been demonstrated for
crosswind-components of up to 16 kts / 30 km/h. The wing-tip still has
4.
Approach with a crab-angle against the wind and keep the wings
level. This is the procedure recommended for gliders. It has the
advantage that both wing-tips have the greatest possible ground-
clearance. The disadvantage of this procedure is that the fuselage
needs to be aligned with the RWY by using a well-controlled movement
of the rudder. This is necessary to prevent the wheels from skidding
when touching down.
Crosswind-landings have been demonstrated with crosswind-components of
up to 16 kts / 30 km/h.
