(a)                            There may be no uncontrollable ground or water looping tendency in 90° cross winds, up to a wind velocity of 18.5 km/h (10 knots) at any speed at which the aeroplane may be expected to be operated on the ground or water.

(b)                            A landplane must be satisfactorily controllable, without exceptional piloting skill or alertness, in power-off landings at normal landing speed, without using brakes or engine power to maintain a straight path.
