LANDING
(Continued)
CROSSWIND LANDING
SECTION 4
NORMAL PROCEDURES
When landing in a strong crosswind, use the minimum flap setting
required for the field length. If flap settings greater than 20° are
used in sideslips with full rudder deflection, some elevator
oscillation may be felt at normal approach speeds. However, this
does not affect control of the airplane. Although the crab or
combination method of drift correction may be used, the wing low
method gives the best control. After touchdown, hold a straight
course with the steerable nosewheel, with aileron deflection as
applicable, and occasional braking if necessary.
The maximum allowable crosswind velocity is dependent upon pilot
capability as well as airplane limitations. Operation in direct
crosswinds of 15 knots has been demonstrated (not an operating
limitation).
BALKED LANDING
In a balked landing (go-around) climb, reduce the flap setting to 20°
immediately after full power is applied and climb at 60 KIAS. If
obstacles must be cleared during the go-around climb, reduce the
wing flap setting to 10° and maintain a safe airspeed until the
obstacles are cleared. Above 3000 feet pressure altitude, lean thel
mixture to obtain maximum RPM. After clearing any obstacles,
carefully retract the flaps and allow the airplane to accelerate to
normal climb airspeed. .
