A flight research program was undertaken to investigate problems concerned with landing a STOL airplane in crosswind conditions. The program included a study of piloting techniques and crosswind limitations during visual STOL type landing operations. The results indicated that the crosswind was more limiting during the ground roll out than during the airborne phases. The pilots estimated that the crosswind limit for commercial STOL type operations with the test aircraft would be approximately 15 to 20 knots. The pilots thought that the crosswind limits for ground operation might be extended by incorporating wing-lift spoilers, improved nose gear steering, and improved engine response. The pilots agreed that a crosswind landing gear would also be beneficial.
