  • Approach3:34

    In this lecture we will look at the moment just after the wheels leave the ground, until the aircraft comes back around in the pattern and crosses the runway threshold. At the end of this lecture you will have seen how the wind affects the aircraft in all phases of flight around the traffic pattern.

  • Landing8:37

    In this lecture we will look at how to transition from a crab to side slip or "wing low method" of landing a light aircraft in heavy crosswinds. At the end of this lecture you will have seen the different control inputs required to maintain stability as the aircraft looses speed just before touchdown, and how to control the aircraft on the landing roll out.
