Operation in dÍrect crosswinds
of

should be
avoided witb
flap
settings

a
slight
tendency

After all approach
obstacles
are
oleared,
progressivel.y
reduce
power
and
maintain the approaoh
speed
by
lowering
the nose
of the
airplane.
Touchdown
should
be
made
with

on the
main
wheels
first.
Immediately

Iowerthe

heavy
braking
as required.
For maximum
bra,ke
effectivenees,
retract the
flaps,
hold
the control
wheel full back,
and
apply maximum
brake
pressure
without
sliding tho
tires.
CROSSWIND
LANDING
When
landing
in
a
strong
crosswind,
use the minimum
flap
setting
required
for the field
length.
If flap settings
greater
than
pOo
are used in
sidesl,ips
with full rudder
deflection,
some
elevator oscillation
may be felt
at
normal
approach speads.
However, this
does
not affect control
of the
airplane.
Although
the
crab or
combination
method of drift
correction may
be
used,
the wing-Iow
method
gives
the best control.
After touchdown,
hold
a straight
course
with
the
steerable
nose
wheel
and occasional
braking
if
nocessa,ry.
BALKED
LANDING
In
a balked landing (go-around)
climb, reduce
the
ftap setting
to Z0o
immediately
after fuII

is
applied. If
