Subject: | Re: Usa flight question |
Will, I once came back from the Arctic in winds of 30 to 40 kts in air
which produced the most turbulent flying conditions I have met Up to
around 3000 ft AGL.I landed at Fenland (Norfolk, UK) with actual on
final 26 gusting 38 kts fortunately straight down the runway. It wasn't
too troublesome, partly because it is in the middle of a very flat area,
but landing in high winds can produce severe turbulence from eddies, if
there are nearby high trees, buildings or hills. I would certainly not
have attempted to land had it not been very close to runway heading -
would have chosen to land in a farm field. There is also increased wind
shear to expect on approach - you can suddenly find yourself missing 10+
kts of airspeed, and you should sensibly keep a higher than normal speed
until you are fairly close to the ground. Steering a mono was difficult
on the ground other than into wind and it was impossible to turn right
and only just possible to turn left without someone walking a wing.
Have a good trip. David Joyce, GXSDJ

Hi Will,
I have found the Mono to be "relatively good" in side winds. I once landed about
vertical in Lydd but with wind down the runway but there was no way I would
attempt to taxi back to the runway for a further flight. I was nervous once in
Saarbrcken with 18G26 at about 70 deg to runway but she ran straight down the
runway, although most uncomfortable in the air!!

Dear Graham,
So far all seems OK on the crack front. ie no cracks so far! However I did
ask for all the questions to be answered regardless of positive or negative.
Please read again on the Europa Club web site. The reason is not just to
advise of possible cracks but also to provide comprehensive data for
airworthiness authorities world wide if necessary.

no sign of cracks on my mono frame. As I read the request a reply I only
required if cracks are found.
"if you find any sign of cracking. Please also keep the Europa club
informed by answering the following questions:- "
