The following guidelines are advised by Boeing for a crosswind landing. These guidelines assume steady wind (no gusting). These winds are measured at 10 metres (33 ft) tower height for a runway 45 metres (148 ft) in width. Basically, there are three landing techniques which may be used to correct for cross winds: de-crab, crab, and sideslip.
Wingstrike is contact between an aircraft's wing and the ground during takeoff or landing, most often as a complication of a crosswind landing.. Unexpected gusts of wind may cause an aircraft to roll to one side or the other during landing, whether they are performing a crosswind landing or not.
A flight path parallel to and in the direction of the landing runway. It is offset from the runway and opposite the downwind leg. Crosswind leg. A short climbing flight path at right angles to the departure end of the runway. Downwind leg. A long level flight path parallel to but in the opposite direction of the landing runway.
The 737 has a crosswind limitation for takeoff of 33 knots (61 km/h; 38 mph) on a dry runway. [ 25 ] Contrary to the "average" wind data reported to the incident pilots, the NTSB investigation found that a sensor at one end of the runway showed a crosswind of 40 knots (74 km/h; 46 mph), with analysis showing the airplane was hit with a peak ...
A U.S. Air Force Lockheed C-5A Galaxy, 68-0212, c/n 500-0015, fifteenth off the production line, but first to be delivered to any operational Military Airlift Command wing, lost one tire and blew another on landing at Charleston AFB, South Carolina for the 437th MAW.
Fields Point is a peninsula in Colleton County, South Carolina, [1] [2] [3] that has been part of plantation lands and was fortified during the American Civil War.It includes an area of high ground along a bend in the Combahee River and is named for [2] [4] the Fields family that owned a plantation on the property.

Aircraft on the ground have a natural pivoting point on a plane through the main landing gear contact points [disregarding the effects of toe in/toe out of the main gear]. As most of the side area of an aircraft will typically be behind this pivoting point, any crosswind will create a yawing moment tending to turn the nose of the aircraft into ...
