Crosswind approach and roundout
CAUTION! Crosswinds prolong landing runway length due to elevated airspeed
When performing a crosswind landing, the wing-low method should be used. When using the wing-
low method it is necessary to gradually increase the deflection of the rudder and aileron to maintain
the proper amount of drift correction.
WARNING! If the crab method of drift correction has been used throughout the final ap-
proach and roundout, the crab must be recovered before the touchdown. Do this by applying
rudder to align the aircraft’s longitudinal axis with its direction of movement.
Parking

dle’s safety pin. Apply the parking brake. Disengage PWR CTRL circuit breaker.
Open cabin door, unfasten safety belts and exit the cabin. Chock the wheels and cover the pitot tube
with it’s protective sleeve.
