Near the crosswind to downwind turn, the engine sounded loud, and the airplane descended into a wooded field and a postimpact fire ensued. The airplane then descended back to the runway and bounced before lifting off nose-high again toward the end of the runway. Icing can often be concentrated near the tops of the clouds.

Green – VFR ( Visual Flight Rules ) Ceiling > 3,000 ft. Winds over 15 knots are indicated by flashing yellow lights. I chose the default setting of 15 knots because the max demonstrated crosswind component of our Cherokee Six is 17 knots. They all follow the same format. C ( 12°F)/-11.0°C
