Crosswind Landing Performance
DTO 805


Overview
This DTO will continue to gather data to demonstrate the capability to perform a manually controlled landing with a 90-degree, 10- to 15-knot steady crosswind. This DTO can be performed regardless of landing site or vehicle mass properties. During a crosswind landing, the drag chute will be deployed after nose gear touchdown when the vehicle is stable and tracking the runway centerline.
