> That does bring up a question though, what is the maximum wind you have
ever landed in John ? I have seen you comment on high winds while flying
cross country, what is the maximum wind speed you would launch in for flying
over flat terrain ?
Mike B:
I don't know.
Would depend on where I was flying to and where the wind was coming from.
If it was a tailwind I might be tempted to push a little. Urgency of my
flight would have a lot to do with a decision to fly in highwinds.
Last May, John W and I were grounded for three days at Ontario, OR, with 35
to 55 mph winds. Most of that three days the wind was steady at 43 mph.
There is a great deal of difference getting caught in high winds while
aloft, and making a decision to take off into high winds.
Usually, when the wind is high, the terrain will also be lumpy.

That does bring up a question though, what is the maximum wind you have

took off from monument valley with around 10 mile wind... landed in Cedar
City Ut. With 25 gusting to 35... left Cedar the following morning with 15
gusting to 20. made the 260 miles to home in just over 2 hours, the gps
showed the max ground speed at 138, asi showed 70. I have landed in cross
winds strong enough that I could not keep straight with the runway, so I
approached the runway at a 40 Deg angle and landed at an angle. Landed on
the edge of the runway and stopped by time I hit the center line.
Those were not my best moment... but it shows what the plane will do.
