3.5 Flying with a crosswind component
If you will be flying while maintaining meteorological minimums, the allowed values do not
present any expressive barrier in order to take off or land.
If you have to land with stronger crosswind component use the technique of glide against the
wind or sideslip against the wind.
You can also choose the possibility of landing with higher than idle RPM, which noticeably
decreases the stall speed.
If the adjustable propeller is provided, do not forget to set the minimum angle of attack prior
to landing. If the landing runway is wide enough you can reduce the effect of crosswind
component by landing diagonally to the runway axis.
3.6 Flight in turbulent air
In the turbulent air, do not exceed the speed of 216 km/h and do not let your airspeed drop
below 120 km/h. Wind gusts cause greater force during high speed flights; small speed
increases the danger of stalling the airplane while flying into the decreasing current of air.
If your propeller is adjustable, set it to a smaller angle of attack and fly with higher RPM of
the engine, you will have the disposal of full output of the engine. Be ready to quickly add
power and release the throttle. The flight in turbulence is stressing for the pilot and also for
the airplane. If possible, fly at higher altitudes, where turbulence often disappears.
