  desired radial. When the deviation needle centers, a small wind drift correction of 5° or a heading correction of 355° should be flown. If this correction is adequate, the aircraft remains on the radial. If not, small variations in heading ... station, the needle deflects in the direction of the station as the indicator changes to “FROM.” Generally, the same techniques apply when tracking outbound as those used for tracking inbound. If the intent is to fly over the station…

  Cold Temperature Airport Procedures a. PILOTS MUST NOT MAKE AN ALTIMETER CHANGE to accomplish an altitude correction. Pilots must ensure that the altimeter is set to the current altimeter setting provided by ATC in accordance with ... Actions on when and where to make corrections: Pilots will make an altitude correction to the published, “at”, “at or above”, and “at or below” altitudes on all designated segment(s) to all runways for all published instrument approach procedures…

  Wind Shear PIREPs a. Because unexpected changes in wind speed and direction can be hazardous to aircraft operations at low altitudes on approach to and departing from airports, pilots are urged to promptly volunteer reports to controllers of wind shear ... conditions they encounter. An advance warning of this information will assist other pilots in avoiding or coping with a wind shear on approach or departure. b. When describing conditions, use of the terms “negative” or “positive” wind shear should…

The pilot makes small heading corrections, if needed, to maintain alignment with the runway. [Figure ... method sets up the crosswind correction well before touchdown, does not require a heading change at the moment before touchdown, and allows the pilot to exercise smooth and continuous control. Pilots using this technique use precise airplane control as changes…
