![]() I was circling over N85 in my partnership's non-retractable 182, considering landing. Someone had just landed there (on runway 26). He suggested that I might want to consider 31, given the wind direction, if I was "up to it". "Up to it"? I've landed at N85 a few times, but never on this "crosswind runway". But looking at it from the air, I didn't see the issue. So I asked "what's the big deal?" After all, the crosswind on 26 wasn't really that high; we'll within my comfort zone. So if 31 was a problem... And I didn't really need to land here. I wanted the cheap fuel, but there were other options. Someone on UNICOM described the problem with the runway: it's small, at 25' width and 1800' length. That's a problem? I landed on 31. It was an easy landing with the wind practically on the nose (why don't we call it a "nose wind" instead of a "headwind"?). Are there really people that would have trouble putting a 182 onto that runway. I don't consider myself a stick and rudder king, so this is leaving me a little puzzled. - Andrew |
