Critical engine failure and crosswind
Hi,
I have a question regarding critical engine failure and crosswind. Assuming that the number one engines fails, due to increased drag the aircraft will yaw to the left. What kind of crosswind will further deteriorate the situation? I actually thought that left crosswind would be most disadvantageous because the aircraft tends to weathervane into the wind, consequently letting the aircraft further yaw to the left. In one of the technical aviation books I read that in this case, right crosswind would be better because it has a restoring effect.
Thanks in advance for any inputs regarding this subject.
