X-wind flying
Hi all,
A quick question, I should really have asked my instructor at the time, but forgot.
I was performing some touch and goes in a Warrior with a 21kt x-wind 90 degrees to the runway for practice. After rotation at 65 kts, (no flap) during initial acceleration to Vy the stall warning buzzer was sounding with an IAS of around 70 kts and normal climb attitude. I was not getting any buffet or anything; so was I actually near stalling the aircraft? I obviously slightly lowered nose attitude reducing ROC, which immediately silenced the stall warner until achieving Vy, then resumed the climb out. Should I increase Vr with a heavy X-wind?? This happened on 2 occasions during the session, the instructor didn't really comment on it, and nothing was mentioned in the de-brief.
Cheers,
Tom.
