Piper Cherokee 180 Gusting Crosswind Landing @ KMWK
Loading...
Uploaded by garnettsmith on Nov 3, 2007
PA-28-180 landing at Mt. Airy, NC. Landing on 18, winds variable from 230-270 @ 16, gusting 27. Appears at the time of turning base to final, the wind swung around with a vengence. Should have gone around, but everything came out alright...

@srvafool On my solo cross country, I took off out of KRUQ, started heading east, looked over the nose, and saw that the oil access door was not latched, and was flapping around a little. As a student, that was definitely an "oh crap" sort of moment. I sheepishly went back to RUQ and latched it down properly. On the bright side, I it taught me to be quite diligent about both the oil access and the baggage door.

What means ''Downwind for runway 18''?
TheMax212 1 year ago
@TheMax212 "Downwind" is a term used to let other pilots in the area know your location. When setting up to land, you typically try to land into the wind...or on the "upwind" runway. So, when flying "downwind", you are flying in the same general direction that the wind is blowing. In this particular instance, I'm flying downwind to runway 18 with the intention of doing a 180 degree (or base, then final) turn to land upwind on runway 18. Hope this makes sense...

You need to do something about your oil access door. It's really vibrating a lot. I have a 65 PA 28-180 and my door is rock solid. I've heard of them departing in flight.
Good crosswind landing. I landed in Hutchinson Ks one day in direct 20 kts with gusts to 28 kts. Landed on the upwind wheel and Cherokee did fine.

@srvafool Replaced the door some time ago. I was actually landing at Mount Airy for the purpose of delivering the airplane for its annual inspection. The door was replaced at that point.

The POH maybe correct and it may be 10deg, but earlier pipers and all cherokees back in the 60's and 70's had first notch at 15. But you are probably correct, thats just what I remember.

@RogerDeanSmart Mine is a 1965 Model. I respect your opinion, but I don't think I've ever seen a Cherokee with 15 degree flaps as the initial position.
