It was found to have good hover stability against crosswind and tailwind. Aircraft manufacturer Airbus recommends sideslip approach only in low crosswind conditions. The airfield boasts a 7000-foot main runway and a 4600-foot crosswind runway. Meacham International Airport has two parallel runways and a crosswind runway. The wheel track was narrowed 3.7 feet for better ground tracking and easier crosswind landing. He purchased land for a crosswind runway. This increased the rudder and fin area by 15% to improve crosswind handling. There are plans to build one crosswind and one parallel runway as traffic increases. The handling was described as "excellent", with a high degree of stability in crosswind landings. In the long term, there are plans to build a third crosswind runway. The aircraft was caught in a strong crosswind as it landed, which caused the crash. Nashville International Airport has four runways, three of which are parallel with one crosswind. The airport has four runways, three of which are parallel with one crosswind. Point one was not fulfilled because the plane landed inclined (to counteract the anticipated crosswind). This allows the vehicle to remain stable at high speeds and in crosswind conditions.
