This tendency is due to their high center of gravity and heavy engine over the nose wheel. As you approach the airport, monitor UNICOM for landing or departing traffic. Another performance factor is the approach speed. The slower the approach, the shorter the landing distance. Insurance: Are You Covered?

This shifts the ailerons Center of Gravity (C.G.) Aileron Control In Stalls And Spins A wing stalls when the airflow approaches it at an angle greater than the Critical Angle of Attack. They just keep the wings level, and the aircraft will simply drift with the wind if its experiencing any significant crosswind.

The aircraft pivots about its center of gravity. Whenever aircraft encounter crosswinds, the most noticeable impact is felt in yaw. Whenever aircraft encounter crosswinds, the most noticeable impact is felt in yaw. Thats because the tail has a large vertical surface that catches a lot of crosswind.

But it was apparent the smallest Grumman flying boat was too small and full of quirks—the cabin door won’t open if the flaps are down, for example—to justify something approaching a direct copy. A long wheelbase and reasonably firm gear offset the Gweduck’s high center of gravity to make an easy-handling taildragger.

As he approached the herd, with the intention of driving the cattle into the corral, the bull departed and headed toward an area covered with heavy mesquite brush. At Ocracoke, North Carolina, an RV-6 (tailwheel version of 6a) landedtechnicallywith a 90-degree crosswind. Im roped in, Sam. No mention of IPC results.
