Title:
Mastering Crosswinds
Topic:
The Mastering Crosswinds seminar demystifies the crosswind dilemma.
Speaker(s):
Taylor Albrecht
Brief Description:
Crosswind landings are the number one real-world weather-related cause of accidents in general aviation. Richard Collins said they are the hardest thing to learn in aviation. Naturally many pilots are apprehensive and lack confidence in crosswind conditions. The Mastering Crosswinds seminar demystifies the crosswind dilemma by looking at the different components. First, we frame the crosswind problem. Then we look at the aerodynamics relevant to crosswind operations. Finally, we discuss crosswind operations, including taxi, takeoff, and landing. It gives the pilot a better understanding and provides the basis for increased skill and confidence.
