Hi,
Scenario: I am approaching on a C172 with, say 65kt approach speed, and I have crosswind. I am approaching in a slip, with wing low into the wind.
If my ASI is indicating 65kt on the final (without slipping), how will the indication change, when:
a) wind is from the left, ie. I press right rudder to keep nose aligned with rwy and left wing dropped into the wind
vs.
b) wind is from the right, ie. I press left rudder to keep nose aligned with rwy and right wing dropped into the wind
Is there any difference?
Also:
Let's say I am showing 65kt indicated, and still in crab (ie no slip yet). Then I decide to drop wing and slip the rest of the final. How much should I take into account the change of ASI indication, to still keep flying the 65kt? (or any other speed, for that matter)
-fly
