crosswind takeoff
- Definição1
- A crosswind takeoff is much like a normal takeoff, except that you have to use the flight controls to compensate for the crosswind component. The term crosswind component refers to that part of the wind which acts at right angles to the takeoff path. Before attempting any crosswind takeoff, refer to the flight manual, if available, or the manufacturer ’s recommendations for any limitations.
