CROSSWIND TECHNIQUES Grob 109B
Causes of YAW Precession Slipstream Torque Crosswind P-Effect
How Much Crosswind? Northerly @ 15kts Runway 30 Headwind: 7.5 kts Crosswind: 13 kts
Taxying Climb into the wind Dive away from the wind Don t taxy using brakes against power Burst of power gives rudder authority Ground Loop: Once past ~75o brakes will accelerate loop T-Tail outside slipstream
Crosswind Limitations Most aircraft manuals do NOT use the term Limitation with relation to Crosswinds Term used is Demonstrated Crosswind Capability Crosswind that happened to be present when it was demonstrated That said as always consider your insurance
Take-Off Allow the aircraft to fly itself off Choose when it flies 50kts 25kts
Landing Controls co-ordinated balance ball in the middle while at altitude Wings level close to the ground Wing Drop (more gently the slower you are) / may also cause pitch change Too early (will start drifting) or too late sideways load on undercarriage Fully held off landing / Stick fully back when on ground
