Downwind Landings
"Kyle Boatright" wrote in message
There is always the consideration of an engine failure. On takeoff or landing, I'd prefer to be pointed into the wind if the prop stops, rather than having to land downwind or attempt a low altitude turn into the wind... I'd rather be pointed into the wind, too, but if the failure happens away from the field, I think I'd be a lot less concerned with landing into the wind than I would in actually making the field. -- John T http://sage1solutions.com/blogs/TknoFlyer http://sage1solutions.com/products NEW!
