Takeoff and Landing Variations Flashcards
What direction should the control wheel be relative to a crosswind? As speed increases on takeoff roll?
Full into the wind / Reduce aileron pressure slowly from full
What direction should the rudder be relative to a crosswind?
Against the crosswind to prevent the tail from weathervaning or turning into the wind
What difference in airspeed should be done with takeoffs in a crosswind?
Higher than normal takeoff speed
What should be done with the aircraft after crosswind takeoff?
Keep the aircraft in a side slip
What flap settings need to happen on crosswind landings for downwind, base, and final?
10 / 10 / 20
What should be done on a crosswind approach?
Wind into the wing lowered, opposite rudder applied
In a side slip, what is controlled with the aileron? What is controlled with the rudder?
Drift is controlled with aileron
Heading is controlled with rudder
What landing gear is touchdown in a crosswind landing?
Upwind landing gear
When using a crab for approach, when is a sideslip used?
Right before touchdown
When would a no flaps landing be used?
High wind speed or flap lowering problem
What should be done on the base leg if you appear too high? Too low? (no flaps)
Too high - turn away from the runway
Too low - turn in to the runway
What happens to airspeed and descent angle with a no flaps approach? Landing roll length?
Airspeed is higher
Descent angle lower
Longer landing roll
What is a forward slip used for? Why does it work?
If you are high and need to lose altitude on approach / final
Why - It increase the cross section of the aircraft, increase drag, and increases rate of descent
How is a forward slip made?
Lower the wing into the direction of the slip, and apply opposite rudder. The nose should be raised to keep the airspeed from increasing
How should a forward slip be made with a crosswind?
With the upwind wing pointed down
What should be done if the landing is in doubt?
Go around for another approach
How should a go around be done?
Full power, nose up or level, flaps up to 20 degrees, with the rate of descent stopped, raise flaps to takeoff position
Why is it important to raise the flaps slowly and in small increments during a go around?
You could lose too much lift at once and settle on the ground
What should be done if the round out is done too high?
Release back pressure on elevator, hold pitch constant, allow airspeed to reduce to the point or altitude descent, continue rollout adding power if needed to avoid too rapid of a descent
How do you deal with a late or rapid round out?
Add power and land normally if there is enough runway
What should you do if you see you cannot land in the first third of the runway?
Go around
