Subject: S-LSA Limitations Questions
Support,
In reference to the RV-12 POH (pg. 2.3), I have several questions on the posted operating limitations below:
Maximum Direct Crosswind Component 11:
Is this truly a maximum crosswind limitation for the S-LSA? If so, what was the limiting criteria?
Depends how good the pilot is, how wide the runway, how gusty etc. You will run out of rudder above 11k, but may still be able to land/t/o OK
Maximum Wind Limitation 30
What phase(s) of fight or performance factor does this limitation apply to?
Every phase, but especially slow slight and runway operations. 30k is almost 75% of the stall speed.
Regards,
