The Office of Aviation Safety TIE-DOWNS IN
 STRONG WIND
 We left off last week by say ing that a Cub" could be se- cured safely in 90 mph wind, for the simple reason that it was designed to fly that fast.
 Ii an airplane is placed in an attitude of zero left, no tie-doWns are necessary, except to stabilize against gusts.
 Drag
 The drag will be about one hundred pounds. That figure is close enough for our purposes, and is on the high side. It takes about that much thrust to pull the Cub" through the air at 90 mph. The drag is exactly equal to the thrust.
 Theory
 Let's say, using very round numbers, an em D y Cub weighs 1000 pounds; sits on the ground at it's angle of maximum left, and has a landing speed of 30 mph. This also means the wings have a lift of 1000 pounds at 30 mph at the angle of maxi mum lift.
 In a 50 mph wind, tied down in three point attitude, the wings would have 4,000 pounds of lift, and 5000 pounds of lift at 90 mph, since the lift in creaSes approximately as the square of the speed.
 It is obviously impossible to tie down against such forces. If the lines hold, the airplane structure will not
 Practice
 This method may not be the most convenient, but il is the only one (With Variations) which will work when the wind is too strong for all other methods,
 1. Head the airplane into the wind,
 ?. Secure the elevators in down position (stick forward)
 8. If possible, secure wings to tie-doWns.
 4. Secure tail to tie-downs, leaving enough slack in the line so that the tail is free to rise a few degrees beyond the zero left angle of attack of the wings.
 5. Place checks behind the wheels. ::...:
 If caught short, sit in the air plane and fly" it at a negative lift angle until help arrives, or the pilot poops out. .:: Hz H~
