Normal and Crosswind Takeoff and Climb
| Objective: |
To familiarize the student with the proper procedures and techniques for takeoff and climb under crosswind conditions. |
| Content: |
Before Flight:
- Review aircraft V-speeds
- Terms:
- Takeoff Roll (Ground Roll)
- Lift-off (Rotation)
- Ground Effect
- Initial Climb
- Torque/P-Factor
- Propeller slipstream
- Headwind and Crosswind Components
- Pre-takeoff considerations
- Aircraft crosswind limitations
- Preflight check
- CTAF or ATC
- Wake turbulence
- Maintaining runway centerline during takeoff roll and climbout
- Crosswind correction during taxi and takeoff
- Ailerons/Elevator
- Crab
- Aircraft as weathervane
- Why takeoff into the wind?
- Noise abatement procedures
During Flight:
- Have student perform takeoff briefing, instructor corrects when needed
- Instructor talks student through the takeoff while student controls the airplane; instructor very closely monitors controls
- Instructor emphasizes applying slight pressure against resistance felt through the controls to prevent over-controlling the airplane
- Instructor emphasizes holding correct attitude for climbout after rotation
