Cessna Caravan - landing with 47 knots wind!

[@Akotski-ys9rr]

That landing was so smooth I could barely tell when the wheels touched the ground

[@GuidoWarnecke]

Thank you! In these circumstances any landing is a good landing. Passengers normally rate a pilot by the "smoothness" of the landing. Important is that the landing is safe, at the correct speed and in the touch town zone (unless on a long runway and briefed before).

I thought the same thing. That was one smooth landing. It was crazy how much wind there was and how you had to fight it to taxi to the parking spot.

..and he still made the Echo exit from the runway as per tower request, which is a pretty short roll down the touchdown point.

[@hda3dotcom]

@@friendhui4320 one hell of a taxi-er too! that 48 kt headwind became a 47 kt cross wind and tail wind on the ground. and in a high wing! that's just about rotation speed at max gross in the single engine I fly.

[@GuidoWarnecke]

The taxing was definitely more challenging than the landing... Happy Landings, Capt. Guido

[@RegularItemShow]

Wow. I had to rewind a few times and still cant tell the second you touched down. If the Tower tells you "Nice Landing", then it was an incredible landing. Perfect execution.

[@GuidoWarnecke]

Thank you, In aviation there is never perfection. No perfect flight, no perfect landing. We can only aim for perfection and learn from errors. Aviation is a never ending learning process. The moment we ignore this, flying becomes dangerous. Irrespective of the amount of flight hours and experience you have. Happy Landings, Capt. Guido

[@remko1]

@@GuidoWarnecke Well said!

[@philgooddr.7850]

With highly variable head wind one danger is sudden wind shear…if you move forward too slow and the wind collapse suddenly, you can stall immediately, so you must arrive faster to keep always enough total energy margin of speed and height to insure you reach the runway . This is the case here and after a few secondes of speed reduction with flaps and ground effect just above the runway the plane « sits » without enough speed to bounce back..so , a great job..

[@GuidoWarnecke]

Hi Phil, I added a big extra speed margin on the approach speed for exactly what you mentioned - wind shear. The wind was quite constant though. While flaring over the runway for a while the word thing that could have happened is that the aircraft fall on the runway from a feet or so. The big tires of the Caravan can handle this. Thank for your comment. To you and your family I wish a Merry Christmas and all the best in 2024. Happy Landings, Capt. Guido

[@philgooddr.7850]

@@GuidoWarnecke Thanks, another dramatic speed margin mistake to prevent by strong wind and which was made inadvertently in Switzerland few years back is to approach a place to take a picture of a village while flying slow against the wind and making a U turn for another shot with this time, way not enough air speed , a speed reduced by twice the wind speed with the strong tail wind at the end of the turn which also slows you down so that very likely you stall with not enough altitude to recover,,,fly save and all the best for 2024..

[@engineerauthorpilot]

I LOVE that you didn't over control the plane due to turbulence. It always amazes me to watch pilots make wild control inputs as if they're efforts are actually effective. As you stated, letting the plane's natural stability do the work is an effective and efficient way to fly. I like to demonstrate this routinely to students... that a plane doesn't have to be manhandled to keep it stabilized (especially on a gusty final). It really opens their eyes to watch me pull and rotate the yoke aggressively only the see almost no change of pitch and roll, basically maintaining the glide path the same as when executed with minimal inputs. Great video. Great job in extreme winds.

[@GuidoWarnecke]

@@engineerauthorpilot Thank you very much for your kind words. I am still working on my flight instructor certificate...

[@privateer0561]

Landing despite triple the allowable crosswind component? Nice!

[@GuidoWarnecke]

Hi Bruce, the crosswind component for the landing runway was only 16 knots in the maximum gusts. Furthermore, the "demonstrated" crosswind component is not a limitation, it is 20kts for the caravan if I remember correctly. Crosswind landings are all a matter of aircraft directional control. If the wind exceeds the capability of the aircraft, even with full controls - then you have to go to another airport or use a different runway. . As a rule of thumb, I would not go above a crosswind that exceeds 50% of the aircrafts stall speed. So for the Caravan at around 30 knots direct crosswind component you will loose directional control. Also the contamination of the runway is a factor. On a runway with ice patches you may slide off the runway after landing. You saw the challenges while taxing with 40 knots crosswind on the taxiway. Happy Landings, Capt. Guido

Your comments about not over controlling in turbulence and letting the inherent stability ride through it is right on. It’s a point that I made and demonstrated to my students in those types of conditions.

[@GuidoWarnecke]

Thank you Arthur. As mentioned before, airplanes fly primarily bye themselves. We pilots just guise them a bit... To you and your family I wish a Merry Christmas and all the best for 2024. Happy Landings, Capt. Guido
