Landing procedure with strong headwind or crosswind 1/2
If landing must be performed with strong headwind or crosswind :
1 -
Increase approach airspeed by the greatest of these 2 following values :
-
∆
V
=
(wind down
−
10)
2
(Ex. wind down = 30 kt i.e.
Δ
V = 10 kt)
The wind down is the longitudinal component of the wind.
-
Gust amplitude
2 -

NOTE
●
It is not desirable to adopt configuration with flaps in TO position. Lateral control
is not improved, and flare phase is lengthened in time and in distance, with
increase of piloting difficulties and landing performance.
●
During approach with crosswind :
▲
CAUTION
▲
Do not use or select the fuel tank on the low wing side during prolonged
sideslips with a fuel low warning or gage indicating low.
▲
▲
CAUTION
▲
Maximum time for sideslip condition is 30 seconds.
▲
3 -
Maintain airplane in drift correction at the latest until the beginning of
flare.
In short final, on a short runway :
4 -
Use normal approach airspeed
IAS = 80 KIAS

To avoid an excessive airspeed
●
NOTE
●
In this case, landing distance indicated in chapter 5.14, would not be respected.
