- Chapter 12: Weather Theory › Wind and Currents › Effect of Obstructions on Wind
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…

increase in landing distance A contingency of this is the relationship between weight and braking friction force. The effect of wind on landing distance is large and deserves proper consideration when predicting landing distance. Since the aircraft lands ... particular airspeed independent of the wind, the principal effect of wind on landing distance is the change in the groundspeed at which the aircraft touches down. The effect of wind on deceleration during the landing is identical to the effect…

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…
- Chapter 16: Navigation › Dead Reckoning › Wind Triangle or Vector Analysis
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…
- 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…
