[NSRCA-discussion] Crashing on takeoff and landing

[John Konneker]

Chris Moon may want to correct me if I'm wrong but...
Crosswind components.
The term is "demonstrated crosswind component" and is just that...the 
maximum that was demonstrated during certification.
Talking full size here.
You may not have the skill to successfully land with the DCC or you may be a 
good enough pilot to successfully exceed the DCC.
The DCC is not the absolute limit of the airplane capability.
Same with spins.
Something like a C-152 Aerobat is approved for spins.
3 turns were demonstrated during certification.
They too may be exceeded...
The only thing when you do you are entering the realm of "Test Pilot".
:-)
There!
I'm going back to bed.
My head hurts!
