What is the maximum crosswind component for takeoff and landing?

The maximum crosswind component for takeoff and landing in the King Air 350 is established based on the aircraft's design and performance capabilities. A maximum crosswind component of 30 knots indicates the conditions under which the aircraft can safely operate while maintaining control during takeoff and landing phases in a crosswind scenario.

This limit takes into account factors such as the aircraft's stability, control surfaces effectiveness, and the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft in adverse wind conditions. Operating within this crosswind limit helps ensure safe operations, as exceeding it may lead to difficulties in aircraft control, increased reliance on pilot skill, and heightened risk during critical phases of flight.

Understanding and adhering to these crosswind limitations is crucial for flight safety, especially when operating in varied weather conditions.

Other options present higher values beyond the established limitation, which can compromise the safe handling of the aircraft and increase the likelihood of adverse outcomes during maneuvering close to the ground.
