Landing procedure with strong headwind or crosswind 1/2
If landing must be performed with strong headwind or crosswind :
1 -
Increase approach airspeed by the greatest of these 2 following values :
-
∆
V
=
(headwind
−
10)
2
(Ex. headwind
=
30 kt i.e.
∆
V
=
10 kt)
-
Gust amplitude = wind gust - steady wind (Ex. for wind 20G35, Gust
amplitude = 15 kt)
2 -
FLAPS lever
LDG

●
NOTE
●
Do not set the flaps in the TO position. Lateral control is not improved, and flare
phase is lengthened in time and in distance, with increase of piloting difficulties
and landing performance.
●
During approach with crosswind :
▲
CAUTION
▲
Do not use or select the fuel tank on the low wing side during prolonged
sideslips with a fuel low warning or gauge indicating low.
▲
▲
CAUTION
▲
Maximum sideslip duration is 30 seconds.
▲
3 -
Maintain the airplane in drift correction through the last possible moment
until beginning the flare.
In short final, on a short runway :
4 -
Use normal approach airspeed
IAS = 85 KIAS

To avoid an excessive airspeed
●
NOTE
●
Excessive speed will increase landing distance beyond the distance indicated in
chapter 5.14.
