Align wind direction over the True Course
Index (TC)
Place Wind Dot up from centre
Align True Track over the True Course Index
Point True Airspeed to True Airspeed value
View Crosswind under vertical line
Read Crosswind on outside scale and view
Wind Correction Angle aligned with
Crosswind on inside scale
Read wind Component under horizontal line
Step 1
Align wind direction over the
True Course Index (TC)
• Place wind direction
over True Course
Index.
• In this example, the
wind direction is 050°.
Step 2
Place Wind Dot up from centre
• Place Wind Dot up
from centre.
• In this example, the
wind strength is
20 knots.
Step 3
Align True Track over the True
Course Index
• Place True Track over
True Course Index.
• In this example, the
TT is 190°.
Step 4
Point True Airspeed to True
Airspeed value
• Place TAS to TAS
value.
• In this example, the
TAS is 108kts.
Step 5
View Crosswind under vertical
line
• Draw line vertically to
x axis.
• In this example, the
Left Crosswind is 13.
Step 6
Read Crosswind on outside scale and view
Wind Correction Angle aligned with
Crosswind on inside scale
• Read Crosswind on
outside scale and view
WCA aligned with
Crosswind on inside
scale
• Always round to the
nearest degree.
Step 6
Read Crosswind on outside scale and view
Wind Correction Angle aligned with
Crosswind on inside scale
• In this example, the
WCA is 7°E.
• Subtract Left
Crosswind
Step 7
Read wind Component under
Horizontal line
• Draw line horizontally to
y axis.
• In this example, the wind
component is a tailwind
of 16 knots.
– Add tailwind
– Subtract headwind
