Starter for Ten!!
Would anyone be able to explain to me if its better to lose the upwind or downwind eng in crosswind take-off?
I've thought about this loads initially believing it to be better to lose the downwind due to the weathercock tendency.. That is if the upwind was lost,acknowledging the wxcock tendency, there would be more yawing moment for max rudder deflection...Alternatively, this wxcock tendency would therefore aid the pilot in regaining control if the downwind was lost!
However now i'm thinking.. Hmmm if i lost the critical no.1 (Turboprop) with a left hand crosswind (upwind) then i'd be better off cos i need less rudder input on the live no.2??? I am confusing myself..
Thanks in advance..
