Wind Correction Worksheet Activity

These instructions guide students through two wind correction angle (WCA) calculations. The idea is to cut out a small triangle to represent wind, align it to the true airspeed (TAS) vector to visualize the resulting heading and groundspeed.
Students will learn to make these same calculations on the E-6B Flight Computer. This exercise is intended to promote understanding and enhance visualization skills.
The first calculation involves a quartering headwind. The second involves a tailwind. he use of trigonometry in the first example is intended to show a connection to mathematics.
I have been using this activity for well over decade in my ground school class. If any instructors out there want a pdf of the worksheet, I will make it available.

Behalf all the pilots who have found this vid useful i thank you so much for ur efforts , can u please go over surface analysis charts on how to predicts in-flight weather ?

[@WaqasAhmed-kj8ue]

Thank you for this great video. Your video has been handy in understanding my CRP-5 computer for navigations calculations.

[@crankychicks]

What I was looking for. Now need to get it 😩

[@robsonbr1246]

Well done! Thanks for your efforts.

Awesome. Wind from left pushes aircraft to the right and vice-versa. Just one question. What does that wind do to the aircraft moving on the ground and speeding to takeoff? Does it affect aircraft's direction by pushing the rudder or it pushes the aircraft the same way it does in air?

[@alexmccabe1948]

It will affect the aircraft the same was as if it were in the air, for example a right crosswind would push the plane to the left but cause the airplane to yaw to the right.

good video ...my question:...when do you factor in the magnetic variation ?.....in this example WCA is 14 so you head 286...suppose there is a magnetic variation of 14 E .....then do I read 272 on my magnetic compass?

[@vivarepub]

Great explanation..

[@peterkelseyferryair2396]

Whilst this does work, it is overcomplicating the calculations......Students will not grasp this at all. CRP COMPUTERS are far easier for a student than your process.

[@cmkangs]

wind is 26kts or 36kts?

[@esalenchik]

conway kangas 36knots from 260 degrees

[@reiramessi]

@@esalenchik thats true not magnetic....if its 10+ then 270/26 ?
