Crosswind landing control..
There should never be any forward pressure on the yoke/stick during
landing. The yoke is always held back, never pushed forward. Perhaps you mean reducing the back pressure. In that case, yes, it would be proper to relax the back pressure somewhat quicker during a crosswind landing to quickly transfer the weight from the wings to the wheels. Howvever this technique is not really necessary except in the worst crosswind (ie when it exceeds rudder authority). Dan wrote: All, When touching down in a crosswind, after the mains and the nosewheel have all touched down firmly and are rolling, would it be proper procedure to apply slight forward pressure to get better steering from the nosewheel? Often, noseweel steering seems ineffective, and this seems to have helped my control on rollout. Any cautions? I have heard about "wheelbarrowing" but is that more of a takeoff issue than landing issue? Under what circumstances would "wheelbarrowing" occur? --Dan |
