New owner of an RV-12. In the POH there’s a maximum crosswind component of 11 knots.
What does the following mean: Maximum Wind Limitation 30
Thank you.
The total wind velocity regardless of wind direction. For example a 30KT wind directly down the runway would meet that criteria, while providing a 0KT XWind component.
Strong winds aloft aren’t a problem unless you are in or near the mountains. You could get into some pretty bad rotor, turbulence and down drafts when mountains and strong winds are combined. If you are in flat areas, then you just have to hope you don't have too much of a headwind!
