Ralph if the braking action is that low add 2/3 to your  normal landing distance. Ease in on the power, the rudder  should become effective fairly quickly. And obviously, a lower crosswind limitation.

Dear subscribers,

 

We have winter in Ohio now and most of our runways are plowed but still do have compacted patchy snow on it.

 

Is there anybody on the list who can give me some advice on departing and landing a 4P on snow?

 

How much runway do I need if braking action is very small? Does it behave like normal or is it much different on snow? How do you hold it straight at the start when the rudder is not working yet?

 

Any input is appreciated.

 

Thanks

Ralf
