Considerationsĭuring taxiing and throughout the take-off and landing, when the wind is at an angle to the runway, the aeroplane will have a tendency to weathercock or swing nose into wind. To take off and land in crosswind conditions. To compensate for drift throughout the circuit. To correctly position the aeroplane controls while taxiing. If this is not done, there is a risk of damage to the undercarriage and the aeroplane may run off the runway.
However, when landing in a crosswind, the aeroplane must be aligned with the runway before touchdown. The student should already be familiar with compensating for drift on the crosswind and base legs of the circuit. This briefing primarily deals with the differences between a normal circuit, where the wind is straight down the runway in use, or little wind exists, and a circuit where the wind is at an angle to the runway in use.
