Crosswinds are not inherently dangerous. The post Crosswind Takeoffs 2.0 — Understanding the Factors first appeared on Hangar Flying. All pilots should challenge themselves and practice them from time to time.

Brady had a crosswind component of about 6-9 knots (gusting 12-14) and that was enough to give him a good workout! He learned you really have to be sharp and on top of your game when handling a crosswind. The post Earning Wings: Flight 19 – Crosswind Workout first appeared on Hangar Flying.

Several times I’ve landed smoothly in a strong crosswind, then had trouble keeping the airplane on the runway. I approach using the wing low method in a crosswind. In a left crosswind you need right rudder during your sideslip, then once on the ground you need left rudder to correct for the skipping and keep the aircraft centered.

You’re greasing the landings, your flight instructor has finally stopped chirping on about your insufficient use of the rudder, and the crosswind is blissfully mellow. One day, you’re flying the pattern and feeling pretty good about things. Then, all of a sudden, your CFI says it’s time to taxi back to the ramp.

But something I’ve noticed through my teaching is that a lot of students aren't taught when to turn their crosswind after takeoff. In 4-3-3 of the AIM, it discusses the proper altitude to make your initial turn into the crosswind. I’ve heard many pilots state that they always turn crosswind at 500 feet.

The small aileron “tabs” were not doing a great job in crosswind ability. Landing was wild, leading to the aircraft’s big wings striking the ground at times in the crosswinds approaching 35 knots. By neutralizing the yoke, I lost the ability to steer and attack whatever crosswind component was evident. This was in XP12.

Flying the Base Leg All aircraft land into the wind, so the base leg usually involves some crosswind. The crosswind can push you out and mess up your glidepath if you’re not careful. If a crosswind catches the underside of the wing, it could cause a tip strike or even flip the aircraft upside down. Landing in a crosswind?
