December 03, 2019

Wind is a major factor to flying an aircraft through the sky. Would you believe me if I said we’ve been looking at it all wrong? Let’s dive into the fundamentals of wind, and what you can look forward to in each phase of flight as you are battling (or working) with the winds.
In this podcast we will discuss:

* A discussion on ‘what is wind’ and how it acts on/with an airplane
* How to see the wind, with indicators and with visualizations
* How you can feel the wind through the flight controls
* Different phases of flight and how wind acts on the aircraft

If you want to dispel some of the myths on wind, and start to attack it in a more holistic way, then this podcast is for you.
