Usually. One does occassionally have to let George do the flying long enough to enroll in the mile-high club.FredGarvin said:
I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. My worst challenge was putting a 172 down on target in a 40 knot 35º cross-wind. Even that's not hard as long as you remember to kick out of the crab before you plant the nose gear.*Kia* said:

Oh, well... it all makes absolutely no sense at all then. :tongue:Evo said:

There's altitude and heading hold, but not quite the same as what you guys use. I think the only place I have ever seen an autohover type of gadget was on Airwolf. You see, we have to stay awake and actually fly the machine...Danger said:
You need to preface these things for us slow yanks. I'll have to see if I can find a website.wolram said:

A crosswind landing is a type of aircraft landing where the wind is blowing perpendicular to the direction of the runway. This means that the wind is hitting the aircraft from the side, which can make the landing more challenging for pilots.
Crosswind landings are difficult because they require pilots to make adjustments to their usual landing procedures in order to compensate for the wind. This can involve using different techniques, such as crabbing or slipping, to keep the aircraft aligned with the runway and prevent it from drifting off course.
Pilots prepare for crosswind landings by checking the weather conditions before the flight and anticipating potential crosswinds. They also undergo training and practice to develop the necessary skills and techniques for performing crosswind landings.
The difficulty of a crosswind landing can be affected by several factors, including the strength and direction of the wind, the type of aircraft being flown, and the skill level and experience of the pilot. Other factors such as runway conditions and air traffic can also impact the difficulty of a crosswind landing.
Yes, crosswind landings are safe when performed correctly by a skilled and properly trained pilot. However, they do require extra attention and care compared to landing in calm wind conditions. Pilots are trained to make the necessary adjustments and follow specific procedures to ensure a safe and successful crosswind landing.
