Pilot’s Operating Handbook Section 4
EXTRA 500 Normal Procedures
4.7.p Cross Wind Operation
Even in gusty wind conditions, the aircraft can be handled
easily. Asymmetric fuel balance of 106 l (28 U.S. Gallons) has
no adverse effect to aircraft handling during takeoff in
crosswind conditions, however, the heavier side should point
into the wind if possible.
For crosswind landings the following procedure is
recommended:
Approach:
Approach Speed; Adjust 80 KIAS
Note Crosswind should be compensated by a combination of
heading the nose into the wind and banking the aircraft
slightly into the wind.
Crosswind Component; Compensate
Prior to touchdown:
Aircraft; Adjust to center line of runway
Bank Angle; Maintain small angle into wind
After touchdown:
Nose Wheel; Lower immediately
Straight Path; Control with rudder
Aileron; Keep deflected into wind
