CS 22.153 Approach and landing ED Decision 2003/13/RM (a) With a crosswind component of not less than 0.2 VS0 or 15 km/h, whichever is the greater, it must be possible to perform normal approaches and landings until the sailplane comes to a stop, without exceptional piloting skill and without encountering any uncontrollable ground-looping tendency. (b) After touchdown there must be no undue tendency to ground loop, pitching oscillation or nose over. (c) The use of air brakes during the approach must not cause excessive variation of control force or control displacement nor affect the controllability of the sailplane, when it is brought into use at any allowable speed down to 1.2 VS1, where VS1 is appropriate to the configuration with air brakes retracted or extended, whichever gives the greater value.
