1. ... 10 kt more for landing uphill, even more for a steep slope. .... 2. Plus half estimated max wind speed .... 3. If the wind is cross, there's a useful rule of thumb to reduce it by 1/6 for every 10 degrees from 90 to get the headwind component. And when exactly are you going to calculate all this? :-P I'm just doing normal approach speed plus 1/2 estimated wind, no matter what direction (except tailwind, of course). Has always worked good enough for me. BTW: 5 kt for upslope is enough, even for steep slopes. But when the field is long enough, 10 kn don't hurt, either. Stefan |
