Er...yeah I chicken out at 25kts Im afraid....40kts in the cessna...with a Vat of say 60kts....I think I might be in trouble.
My comments were a merely passing on what an engineer told me. I thought it was to do with ailerons previously as well. But if its based on aileron authority at a maximum then it doesnt explain why I can land a C152 at 20kts xwind component completely wings level when the demonstrated is a poor 12kts. By placing the 'wing down' after that I am happy up to about 25. Still the aileron has the required authority - so this explaination doesnt quite make sense. Incidentally isnt it interesting that soo many different a/c come up with 17kts.. C172, PA28, Seneca II...why 17kts?
