Key ideas in Mastering the CRJ-900 Flight Deck

  • Tailwinds increase the speed at which the wheels hit the ground
  • The rudder is used to align the nose with the runway
  • Brakes must dissipate more energy when the ground speed is higher
  • Control surfaces have a physical limit to how much wind force they can fight
  • Crosswinds create a pivoting force on the tail
  • Strong winds can cause uneven lift on the wings during the roll
  • The physical limitation of control surfaces in high crosswinds
  • Exceeding limits means the rudder is 'maxed out' and can't stop the pivot
  • Steering becomes ineffective if the wind force overpowers the tires and rudder
  • The sequence of events when a crosswind pushes a plane off-center
  • Consequences of attempting a takeoff in excessive wind
  • Tailwinds add to the plane's speed over the ground
  • Crosswinds push the plane toward the side of the runway
  • Matching wind types to their specific operational impact
  • Exceeding limits means the rudder is 'maxed out'
  • Steering becomes ineffective if the wind force overpowers the tires
