Procedures for normal and crosswind takeoff.
Procedures for normal and crosswind takeoff.
Bottom line
A crosswind that exceeds the aircraft's demonstrated maximum crosswind component or the pilot's ability may result in loss of control on the ground. The last check as power is brought to full takeoff power includes confirming the controls are positioned to account for any crosswind.
