Subject: | Re: Europa Club Safety Advice: Cracked U/C Frame |
I simply chose to fill out the form with the information and boldly stating that
I found NO cracks. Now they can get a feel for what the percentage is and whether
its worth calling for a fleetwide check.
But when I first heard of this problem, I immediately checked my plane. Wouldnt
anyone?

Subject: | Usa flight question |
Costa rica and Nicaragua have high winds this time of year. San Jose is
20G37 today for example. It is all central and west side so my intention
is to stick to the Caribbean side to avoid this, however one never knows.
Fortunately it's all down the runway. Does anyone have any experience of
landing in this sort of wind and any advice? I've done 16kt straight down
the runway which was no drama.
Also Im wondering whether taxing could be an issue.....

Will,
I have not landed my Europa as a tri in strong cross winds. Maybe 15
kts of cross wind for the Europa tri is about the max I have had to
endure so far. That=99s pretty easy. I have landed other
aircraft, tri & conventional, in strong cross winds (25-35 kts). The
technique I use is a crab into the wind sufficient to maintain a good
line to the runway. Add 1/2 the gust value to the normal speed down
final. When at the height to flare, use the rudder to align the
aircraft with the runway, lower the upwind wing to compensate for drift
and land on the upwind wheel first. Maintain runway heading with the
rudder as you slow and gently allow the downwind wheel to settle to the
runway. Finally, lower the nose wheel to the runway. Brake as needed
to your turnoff.
There are other techniques, but this is what works for me. Some folks
use upwind wing down on final to maintain centerline rather than crab.
That way they are setup for the flare without switching. Others use a
little wing down along with a little crab. It=99s whatever you
find most comfortable.
I=99ve not found the Europa tri to be a problem in a cross wind
taxi situation. Just keep your controls positioned to pin the aircraft
on the ground as you would in any aircraft. I believe that the AOPA has
some good videos on cross wind technique.
