4.4.3.6.2 Cross-Wind Landing
When established on a short final approach, use the
ailerons and rudder to maintain the approach path. Lower
the upwind wing using ailerons and use the rudder to
hold runway alignment. At approximately 10 feet AGL,
increase the pitch attitude to flare. Ensure that the aircraft
is not in a slip when touching down. When a satisfactory
touchdown has been accomplished, reduce the throttle to
IDLE and adjust ailerons slightly to allow the downwind
main wheel to touch down.
Maintain the stick deflected into the wind as necessary to
keep the upwind wing from lifting, and use rudder and
differential braking, as necessary, to maintain directional
control. Once the three wheels are on the ground, move
the stick all the way back and keep it there at all times
during the landing roll. Apply brakes only as required to
maintain directional control, slow to taxi speed or stop.
NOTE:
It is recommended that a slightly higher airspeed be
used on final approach during gusty or turbulent wind
conditions. Add approximately one (1) mph or one (1)
knots IAS for each two (2) knots of reported gust.
