What is the limit of crosswind for T-6 takeoffs?

The limit for crosswinds during T-6 takeoffs is established at 25 knots. This maximum crosswind limit is in place to ensure safe and controllable performance during takeoff stages, allowing pilots to maintain aircraft stability and control both on the runway and during the transition from ground to flight. Exceeding this limit could lead to difficult handling characteristics, increased risk of loss of control, or runway excursions, especially under gusty or variable wind conditions.

The 25-knot limit is based on flight test data and operational experience, ensuring that pilots can effectively manage the aircraft’s handling characteristics in crosswind situations. By adhering to this limit, pilots can maximize safety and operational effectiveness when conducting takeoffs in the T-6.
