  2. Crosswind landing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crosswind_landing

    The following guidelines are advised by Boeing for a crosswind landing. These guidelines assume steady wind (no gusting). These winds are measured at 10 metres (33 ft) tower height for a runway 45 metres (148 ft) in width. Basically, there are three landing techniques which may be used to correct for cross winds: de-crab, crab, and sideslip.

    Landing strip indicators are installed in pairs and are used to show the alignment of landing strips. Traffic pattern indicators are arranged in pairs in conjunction with landing strip indicators and used to indicate the direction of turns when there is a variation from the normal left traffic pattern. If there is no segmented circle installed ...

  4. Crosswind - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crosswind

    The headwind is about 22 knots, and the crosswind is about 13 knots. [1] To determine the crosswind component in aviation, aviators frequently refer to a nomograph chart on which the wind speed and angle are plotted, and the crosswind component is read from a reference line. Direction of travel relative to the wind may be left or right, up or ...

  6. Slip (aerodynamics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slip_(aerodynamics)

    This is the sideslip approach technique used by many pilots in crosswind conditions (sideslip without slipping). The other method of maintaining the desired track is the crab technique: the wings are kept level, but the nose is pointed (part way) into the crosswind, and resulting drift keeps the airplane on track.

Unexpected gusts of wind may cause an aircraft to roll to one side or the other during landing, whether they are performing a crosswind landing or not.
