i strong crosswind for that aircraft seems to be anything over 12kts and the brakes the heat up so fast that they become ineffective after about 5 seconds after applying them, and on a short rwyway thats valuable time- this aircraft carry the 8.5 ply tires on a brake disc used by the cherokee 6 , c206 and c207 , and i have flown them all the braking action on those three are more that good

    Normal takeoff and landing distances are 1800 and 1200 at gross weight. Unless your crosswind is from the rear, the distances should be shortened.

    er. basically a airvan which is a propeller aircraft do not have a reverse jet like what boeing 747 or Airbus 340 have. thus it do not have the abitity to have enough braking force or enegry for landing. Also it is light , so it is difficult to control during crosswind
