Learn how to use the wind side to find groundspeed and wind correction angles. Your groundspeed (which will differ from your airspeed as the wind pushes you around). The rear has the wind side for calculating wind correction angles and groundspeed. That means our groundspeed was 90 knots. Thats not all.

The panel in your airplane shows indicated airspeed (IAS, derived from the pitot tube on the wing), while the iPad shows groundspeed (derived from the GPS in your ADS-B receiver or iPad). ” Groundspeed is helpful for estimating your time en route, but it is affected by wind and other factors. Confused yet?

Drawbacks: In cruise, a headwind reduces your groundspeed , meaning your journey will take longer and consume more fuel. It increases your groundspeed , shortening your flight time and saving fuel. It increases your groundspeed , shortening your flight time and saving fuel.

I encountered unexpected headwinds to start, slowing my groundspeed down to 75 knots at times. Additionally, the needle on my altimeter at one point was swinging through 500 increments! Day 3 The next day of my journey would clear me out of the mountains with my first landing in Moriarty, New Mexico (KOEO).

You must check the minimum holding altitude, check the altitude of your aircraft , and make sure your altimeter is set to the correct pressure setting. Too little groundspeed, and you may turn too soon, making a mess of the hold. Time or Distance? How long you fly on the outbound radial will depend on the hold in question. Here’s why.

Let’s break it all down here: 400 feet of ceiling (broken/ overcast/obscured) means that you’ll remain under that cloud deck until your altimeter reads 5,200 feet and you will also need to have 2-1/4 miles of visibility. That’s a big difference from standard isn’t it? feet per minute). Multiply 1.5 Woah, can my Warrior do that?
