King offers crosswind landing course for free

By General Aviation News Staff · March 30, 2015 ·

King Schools is now offering a free online video course, “Crosswind Landings Made Easy.”

“Crosswind landings are a subject that is difficult to explain without video,” says Martha King, who is featured in the video.

Crosswinds Cover PictureThe video shows John King demonstrating the techniques for crosswind landings from the cockpit, while Martha explains the aerodynamics.

Crosswinds Main MenuMany pilots struggle to stay aligned with the runway centerline with zero sideways drift when facing a stiff crosswind, and poorly executed crosswind landings are a leading cause of airplane insurance claims, the Kings noted.

“Together with our other free online mini-course, Non-Towered Airport Communications, we are building a library of important video courses that anyone can take online for free,” concluded John. “We hope pilots enjoy these courses with our compliments.”
