Wind V shutdown ?
Here in the UK we have had recently some very big winds, with gusts far stronger than most pilots will have flown in, my question is, " You take of and fly to your destination, with an eye on the time and the Wx, <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="eek.gif" /> you then return to your final LZ, thing is the wind has got up during this last part of the flight, you start to land, and are able to cope with the wind, but the gusting is very severe, what do you do, how do you shut down without any danger of the blades sailing to extremity and possibly hitting your tail, for upon initial shutdown the rotor brakes really are not much use, would you tilt the disk slightly forward so as to give added clearence at the tail end, or could this create problems at the front? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="eek.gif" />
