Re: Crosswind application(s)
B2N2: Yeap, 20kts. It is stated in our trainining SOP's. In anycase, that's basically just a method of determining exactly how much crosswind we'll be getting. My question has yet to be answered as a whole, and that is in referrence to what Send Clowns has mentioned earlier and that is we apply drift to fly centreline during landing. Is that all we need to bear in mind during a crosswind landing? I figured that this matter bears more weight now because it would seem that not long ago, an accident/crash happened to some airline (can't recall the details) due to the fact that the F/O did not carry out proper crosswind applications during landing and the captain failed to determine the fault and thus the mishap. In short, I'd just like to know, all we have do is apply a wind corrected heading to fly centreline during approach or is there something more to it than just that? And, anyone mind enlightening me on the clock-face rule? Thanks gentlemen.
