  Chapter 7: Ground Reference Maneuvers › Drift and Ground Track Control › Constant Radius During Turning Flight

  notice how wind direction affects the time needed for various segments of ground-referenced turns. To demonstrate the effect that wind has on turns, the pilot should select a straight-line ground reference, such as a road or railroad track ... circular, although in reference to the air, the airplane flew a perfect continuous radius. Figure 7-3. Effect of wind during turn. In order to compensate for the effects of wind drift, the pilot adjusts the bank angle…

  Effect of Obstructions on Wind Another atmospheric hazard exists that can create problems for pilots. Obstructions on the ground affect the flow of wind and can be an unseen danger. Ground topography and large buildings can break up the flow…

  arrive at compass heading. [Figure 16-16] By determining the amount of drift, the pilot can counteract the effect of the wind and make the track of the aircraft coincide with the desired course. If the mass ... Aircraft flight path resulting from its airspeed and direction and the wind speed and direction. Figure 16-15. Effects of wind drift on maintaining desired course. Figure 16-16. Relationship between true, magnetic, and compass headings for a particular instance…

  vector analysis, is the basis of dead reckoning. The wind triangle is a graphic explanation of the effect of wind upon flight. GS, heading, and time for any flight can be determined by using the wind triangle ... beginning student, however, needs to develop skill in constructing these diagrams as an aid to the complete understanding of wind effect. Either consciously or unconsciously, every good pilot thinks of the flight in terms of wind triangle…

  wind. As the wind direction becomes parallel to the airplane’s longitudinal axis, the magnitude of the wind’s effect on the groundspeed is greater; as the wind becomes perpendicular to the longitudinal axis, the magnitude of the wind ... effect on the groundspeed is less. In general, When the wind is blowing straight into the nose of the airplane, the groundspeed will be less than the airspeed. When the wind is blowing from directly behind the airplane, the groundspeed…
