Hi!
The other day I was flying in to Haugesund Karmoy (ENHD) on the west coast of Norway. The wind was 17 kts with 27 kts gust 30 degrees down the runway. I was flying an Arrow 180 with the old herskey bar wings. Normally final approach is done at 90 mph. However, in this wind I put on between 10-15 extra knots for safety. It worked out well, although the long final was interesting to say the least....the plane was jumping around madly, but never too scary, just glad I was alone in the plane without any scared passenger.... About 50 feet over ground, the riot calmed down, and landing was a non event. However, the crosswind component was still evident, so I landed in a slip to compensate. What do you other guys do in such a situation? Just put son some more speed and fly "normal", or do you still keep the numbers? (not such a good idea considering the gusts...) Frode P28R-180 LN-LMR |
