LANDING WITH CROSS WIND
The maximum permitted cross wind for takeoff and landing is 16 Kn.
There is a risk of overturning during landing with high cross wind. In
those conditions, always try to land into wind.
The procedure for landing with cross wind is the same than with no wind.
Move the control stick against the wind direction and use the opposite pedal
to maintain the alignment with the runway. It is advisable to land with some
engine power (3000 rpm) in order to control the yaw of the gyroplane with
low speed (second flare). Once the gyroplane lands cut the engine power to
idle and when the front wheel drops to the ground move the control stick to
wind.
ABORT LANDING
If the during the approach or the flare there is any disadvantage the pilot
should abort the landing operation. The procedure is to increase the engine
power, use the right pedal to counter the engine torque, level flight to reach
60 mph and climb.

4.9 AFTER LANDING

Once the gyroplane lands move the control stick forward, put the rotor
brake and decrease the trim pressure. Taxi out of the runway.
Do not taxi close to obstacles or people with the rotor and propeller turning.
Switch OFF radio and lights, fuel pump/s, engine and Master.
