This lateral movement takes place at a speed of about two or three knots. As at higher altitudes, the vortex movement near the ground is affected by crosswinds. Air Traffic Control uses this classification to separate aircraft and ensure that their wake turbulence does not affect other aircraft.

You had a crosswind , so the wind wasn’t helping you out, but that’s all right. Around halfway, cruising at 3,000 feet at 180 knots, onboard avionics data indicates increasing temperature in one of the cylinder heads lasting about five minutes. So, still about 60-65 degrees, so we’re getting some help out to ya. I had too much speed.

Air Traffic Control (ATC) uses these procedures to delay aircraft. For example, if you’re holding at 100 knots and have a 10-knot tailwind on the outbound leg, the outbound leg should be shorter than one minute because you’ll have a headwind on the inbound leg.

Thaws, rain, snow, and strong crosswinds can temporarily close the airport. With as much as 25 knots of tailwind, we made the flight from Sodus to Alton Bay in only two hours. Volunteer Air Traffic Control Because of its unique geometry, the Alton Bay Ice Runway requires careful coordination on the ground to avoid conflicts.
