Do you know why aircraft perform a ‘’crabs’’ approach when landing on the runway with strong crosswinds?
Due to the configuration of the runways and meteorological conditions, there may sometimes be crosswind. Aircraft need to demonstrate their abilities to master crosswinds at takeoff and landing.
During #FlightTest, the manufacturer also needs to demonstrate that no exceptional skill is needed to take off and land the aircraft with crosswind.
Learn how pilots nail a crosswind landing in our #TechTuesday video.
