haha nice. I took off with one of my students one day and it as dead calm. we did one turn in the pattern and when we got back to final it was 25kts directly across the runway. I took the controls and was able to get it down. it was a lot of fun.
Sweet! I had that happen to me once. Took off with 5K SW, returned about 1.5 hours later with 25-30 gusty cross winds. Not real fun...but I made it. :-)
I had instructor who use same wind conditions to practice my starts, landings, touch and go flight sequences. In 1hr 45 min I had 18 landings like that..... I was wet from sweat......but was great :)
I would have done things differently lol but I'm glad you got 'er down and sounds like you boys have a special spot in your hearts for flying! Happy flying guys!
what ever happened to sterile cockpit? that was a terrible approach and sideloaded landing... theres no shame in going around. for crosswind landings use the ailerons to correct for wind drift and your rudder to align your longitudinal axis parallel to the runway! this is how accidents happen... inexperienced pilots trying to show off with a couple pals. there was multiple times in that approach when a go-around should have been executed. be safe and stay in the books...
Most of the crosswind components on the poh are "maximum demonstrated" which only mean, well, Max demonstrated. Usually companies are delegated to provide s.o.p.s with this demonstrated component in mind. Maximum in a 150 is 13kts, I've landed well over that probably 50+ times.
@sunshinemojo2003: "I did not have my commercial certificate yet so I had not been taught about crosswind components. If you do the math then we were well within our limits."
Are you kidding? You learn about crosswind components as a student pilot; if you don't, you'd better find yourself a different instructor. And 25 gusting to 35 is well OUTSIDE the limits of an aircraft that size. A Cherokee 160 (almost the same size) has a maximum crosswind component of 17 knots.
I always got nervous as hell during gusty wind conditions but soon grew used to landing in them.
It teaches you to multitask the controls much better and to relax on the controls and allow your body to relax in order to better feel what the plane is doing.
Oh, one other thing I wanted to mention... You may notice that during the landing flare you hear me gun the engine. This is because right at that moment the bottom "dropped out". Some funky wind shear that tried to slam me into the ground. I would have floated all the way down that 6000 foot runway if I had to before rushing a smooth landing. I had to sell this plane to a guy out in Texas. I miss my old Mouse. Be safe, fly safe and, above all, have fun!!! You are only here once.
Naturally we landed as much into the wind as possible but if memory serves correctly the wind was 280@25 with gust at 35. I did not have my commercial certificate yet (obviously as that requires 250 hours) so I had not been taught about crosswind components. If you do the math then we were well within our limits. The only real "mistake" I made was using full flaps... No one ever told me to use less flaps and make a fast approach during high winds to get more control. Live, learn and fun!!!
First of all let me thank everyone for their comments. What you are looking at is a pilot who had roughly 80 hours of flight time total. 15 hours in type... A 1965 Beechcraft Musketeer with a Continental IO-346. This landing was after a cross country from Habersham/Cornelia (KAJR) to Statesboro, GA (KTBR), roughly 1.5 hours at 105 KTAS. We made the flight in just over 1 hour. There were very little winds until we actually left Cornelia.
KTBR has two runways, 32-14 and 05-23. (NEXT POST)
all those slating these guys are amaeturs! this is called the point in which we leave u weekend flyers behind. move over the professionals are here, and this is what we have to practice. goodjob lads
everyone slating these guys are stupid amateurs. This is real flying and its the point in which we leave u weekend flyers behind. move over, the pros are here. nice job guys
Sweet landing guys! That flare must have felt like it would never end. How much left aileron would you reckon you used as a percent? You could have tried a short field landing on the taxiway, into wind I suppose... 30ft landing roll
Good Job! Gusty conditions are impossible to make look pretty. Looks like you had fun getting it safely on the ground. I had to deal with gusty conditions yesterday, and still feel like I can use a drink. Strange that people are mad at you for the weather conditions on the previous posts. You CAN take off in calm winds and come home to gusts. Not really predictable.
Great job if you don't practice landing in cross winds and getting comfortable with them you should'nt fly on calm day's either. What happens when surface winds pick up while your out getting your hundred dollar hamburger. Nice vid guy's.
@whitemike265 the landing is very hard u dumbass cuz the plane aint designed for sutch high crosswinds so i think there done a fucking nice job putting the aircraft done like that im a pilot of a LSA and the its gets pretty rough when u got xwind higher then the plane was tested for
@WesleyAALST i'm aware the landing is hard, dumbass. i've had to land an archer with a max demo. of 17kts in a direct crosswind of 24kts in an emergency situation. you never want to exceed the component because you become a test pilot, and that's not worth your life unless you've been trained and you're getting paid as such.
The designated crosswind component (dcc) for my Super Musketeer III is 20kts. or 23mph. My gross weight is 1550lbs. The dcc is a recommended limit, which the plane was tested in the test flight phase, and not a limit that our plane is married to.
Good landing, even though it was beyond the usual practice parameters.
Stupid. I guess he missed that day at ground school where they taught pilot decision making. How about an alternate? Why even fly in those conditions or even forecast conditions? The pilot was stupid in this case and put his, the passengers and other pilots life in danger by his trying that approach and landing.
haha nice. I took off with one of my students one day and it as dead calm. we did one turn in the pattern and when we got back to final it was 25kts directly across the runway. I took the controls and was able to get it down. it was a lot of fun.
