If utilizing Runway 17 with left traffic, the crosswind turn will be heading 080, downwind 350, base 260, etc. If the learner is not instrument rated but is training at an airport with an instrument approach, this might be a great time to teach them how to fly the approach as an emergency measure.

The approach for the soft-field landing is similar to the normal approach. The final approach speed for a soft field approach and landing should be the same as is used for a short field technique to minimuze float once you enter ground effect.

The small aileron “tabs” were not doing a great job in crosswind ability. For the final approach, I calculated V REF of about 128 was fought with much shear, with airspeed variances of up to 20 to 30 knots, providing a wild ride. By neutralizing the yoke, I lost the ability to steer and attack whatever crosswind component was evident.

Key Takeaways Start by setting up your approach correctly to ensure you arrive at the threshold perfectly every time. Perfect the approach phase by managing the aircraft’s energy and using references to improve positioning throughout the pattern. Flying the Approach Haphazard approaches are very likely to lead to haphazard landings.

It was hoped that this approach would avoid another overspill situation as previously encountered at Le Bourget and Orly. The plans allowed for five runways on the site, with a pair of two parallel runways running east to west to the north and south of the main terminal area and with one further runway to allow for crosswinds at the location.

It only takes a 10% increase in approach speed to increase the landing roll by 20%. These obstacles frequently affect the approach and missed approach paths. Plan your approach path carefully to eliminate large pitch and power changes. Full flaps are generally used since they lower approach speed and increase drag.
