- Contexto
- During a crosswind approach, you should crab into the wind. At approximately 50 feet of altitude, use a slip to align the fuselage with the ground track. The rotor is tilted into the wind with cyclic pressure so that the sideward movement of the helicopter and wind drift counteract each other. Maintain the heading and ground track with the antitorque pedals. This technique should be used on any type of crosswind approach, whether it is a shallow, normal, or steep approach.
