Clearance Crosswind Stability 
One Mile at a Time
FEBRUARY 17, 2025
However, theres not much to it the aircraft received clearance to land, and that was the end of the communication. Obviously a strong crosswind can impact a planes stability. This is an absolutely wild accident First and foremost, thank goodness that initial reports suggest that there were no fatalities.

Although I havent spent much time around GB1s (except for drooling over them while they are on display and flying at airshows) I am always taken aback by how much larger the airplane appears to be in personparticularly, the tall, sweeping rudder that curves down to a sharp point with just enough ground clearance.

At Leopard Aviation, we train students in the Cessna 172S Skyhawk, known for its stability and advanced Garmin G1000 avionics. While its not as widely used as the Cessna 172 or Piper Archer TX, its stability and easy handling make it a strong choice for certain training environments. Join us and train with the best in the skies.

Constant manipulation of attitude and power while chasing errant airspeed are signs that a CFI needs to step in to stabilize things. Less-than-ideal conditions may mean a shift in lesson plan from a cross-country to an opportunity to perfect crosswind technique. No training block should ever be cast in stone. 1 priority.

This can greatly impact landing performance and obstacle clearance. This gives you a safe buffer on the stall speed and plenty of time to stabilize. Will you need a crosswind correction? Not Applying Crosswind Controls Directional control becomes difficult when proper technique isn’t applied during crosswind conditions.

The previous CTs had a stabilator for pitch, where the new F2 uses a more conventional elevator and fixed horizontal stabilizer. With the F2, the rudder and vertical stabilizer are changed, with the rudder becoming a much smaller surface than before. Out back, theres an entirely new tail. In this case, nothing.
