The electronic E6B is equally useful when in the airplane, to help determine actual winds aloft, true airspeed, fuel burn, and descent planning. Find the crosswind component for Runway 36 if the reported wind direction is 320 at 12 knots. Calculate the actual true airspeed given the following flight conditions.

Near the crosswind to downwind turn, the engine sounded loud, and the airplane descended into a wooded field and a postimpact fire ensued. The airplane then descended back to the runway and bounced before lifting off nose-high again toward the end of the runway. Icing can often be concentrated near the tops of the clouds.

Crosswind: The Sideways Challenge A crosswind blows across your intended flight path , being most critical during the takeoff and landing phases. Every aeroplane has a maximum demonstrated crosswind component it’s certified to handle. The good thing is that it can also be trained intensively in our crosswind simulator.

Your aircraft will fly at a faster true airspeed at higher density altitudes. V SO (or POH airspeed). Will you need a crosswind correction? Power controls the rate of descent, and pitch controls airspeed. Crosswind Landings Short-field landings teach you to fly slowly and precisely. Full flaps, 1.3
