Upon arrival the winds at MacDill were from 110 degrees at 19Kts. This means I landed on Runway 4 with 17.9Kts of crosswind component. I am very happy to report the airplane handled magnificently and I still had some more rudder available if I would have needed it. On Tuesday, January 30, 2018 I returned to St. Augustine and landed with winds from 360 degrees at 17Kts. This means I landed on Runway 31 with 13Kts of crosswind component. Once again the airplane handled magnificently and I had plenty of additional rudder authority if it would have been needed. FWIW: My KIS4 has the larger rudder, tail strake and winglets so the results may not be typical. You can watch a video of the landing at MacDill AFB with the 17.9Kt crosswind component. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7N3FFqwmSMc My wife took the video from the right seat. I was way too busy flying and preparing to go around if needed. ;) ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 01:53:20 PM PST US From: "Ed Hanson" Subject: Re: KIS-List: KIS4 Demonstrated Max Crosswinds ----- Original Message ----- From: Galin Hernandez To: kis-list@matronics.com Sent: Tuesday, January 30, 2018 3:43 PM Subject: KIS-List: KIS4 Demonstrated Max Crosswinds On Friday January 26, 2018 I did a flight from St. Augustine to MacDill AFB.
