Medical Certificates; Takeoff And Landing Wind Proficiency - Cirrus SR20 Flight Operations Manual

Cirrus SR20 and SR22
Section 7
Cirrus passengers more knowledge regarding safety system
operations in the unlikely event that the Pilot in Command should
become incapacitated. Procedures include using basic radio
communication and CAPS activation. The PIC course is provided by
both Cirrus Design and COPA.
PIC, CPPP and CDM schedules and information can be found on the
COPA website; www.cirruspilots.org

Medical Certificates

In order to exercise the privileges of a private pilot certificate the pilot
must hold a third class medical certificate, which is valid for 24 months
from the date of issue (36 months if the person is under 40.) In order to
exercise the privileges of a commercial pilot certificate a pilot must
hold and maintain a second-class medical certificate valid for 12
calendar months from the date of issue.

Takeoff and Landing Wind Proficiency

A Cirrus pilot should not attempt to takeoff or land when the wind
speed and crosswind component exceed the individual's capabilities.
Non-Instrument Rated or Instrument Rated (Non-Proficient)
• Day: Maximum 25 knots sustained and 15 knots crosswind.
• Night: Maximum 25 knots sustained and 10 knots crosswind.
Instrument Rated (Proficient)
• Day: Maximum 30 knots sustained and 15 knots crosswind.
• Night: Maximum 25 knots sustained and 15 knots crosswind.
Instrument Rated (Proficient with Demonstrated Ability to
Category I Minimums within 60 days)
• Maximum 35 knots sustained and 20 knots crosswind or
maximum demonstrated crosswind component.
When taking off or landing on ice-covered runways (braking action
reported POOR), the crosswind component should not exceed 50% of
the aircraft's demonstrated crosswind component. Takeoff and landing
training should not to be conducted if the wind exceeds 25 knots or the
gust factor exceeds 10 knots. Land into the wind whenever possible
during normal operations. Where airport layout or the type of operation
requires landing with a tailwind - for example, an ILS approach - up to
7-4
