Anyone who’s tried to enter a sideslip during a crosswind landing with a twist grip knows how hard it is. Mid-Tier The MFG Crosswind pedals are twice the price of the Logitech pedals, but they are a significant step up in quality. The Crosswinds use Hall sensors for both rudder and brakes, making them very precise.

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.

Briefing A pre-landing briefing highlights essential points critical to the approach and landing phase. If there is a crosswind at the airport, you should mention this in your brief. Discuss your nominated crosswind technique. Explain what aircraft input you will require to land the aircraft in the crosswind.

The HGS-6000 is certified in the US and abroad for low-visibility takeoff (LVTO) and manual Cat III approaches, and delivers superior low-operating minima guidance. Additional features, such as speed offsets, velocity cues, and crosswind adjustments enhance precision, particularly during approach and in turbulent or crosswind conditions.

Proper angle of attack management also maintains safety during slow flight, crosswind landings, and when encountering wake turbulence. You will also develop a feel of how the aircraft feels as it approaches a stall. External Forces Factors like turbulence, wind gusts, and wake turbulence can lead to sudden fluctuations in AOA.

Our approach is simple: provide structured, personalized instruction that meets each students needs. High-wing aircraft, like the Cessna 172, offer better downward visibility and are more stable in turbulence. Low-wing aircraft, such as the Piper PA-28, provide better ground clearance and handling in crosswinds.

When learning how to land a Piper Seminole, it is crucial to understand the role of each engine in the approach and landing phases. Pilots must be proficient in managing engine power, especially during the approach, where power settings and speed management are critical to a smooth and safe landing.
