Quick estimates improve decision-making Helps with landing technique, wake turbulence, and IFR corrections. You wont have time to be messing around with a flight computer or crosswind chart. Wake Turbulence What would you say if we told you that sometimes a crosswind is a good thing? How long will you have to wait?

Calculate the crosswind using the wind component table or a flight computer, such as an E6-B. However, the obstacles generate mechanical turbulence, making the air less stable. The runway most closely aligned to the expected wind direction will likely be active. However, check NOTAMs for runway closures. Be prepared for gusts!

These control surfaces dictate the aircraft’s roll, and this allows it to bank smoothly through turns or even recover from turbulence. All flight controls are actuated electronically, and theres no physical link between the control sidesticks in the cockpit and the flight surfaces.
