Learn how to use the wind side to find groundspeed and wind correction angles. Your groundspeed (which will differ from your airspeed as the wind pushes you around). The rear has the wind side for calculating wind correction angles and groundspeed. That means itll take 24 minutes to fly 40 miles at 100 knots.

Airspeed guides everything from takeoff to landing and every phase in between. But did you know there are several types of airspeed, each serving a unique purpose? Like Indicated Airspeed (IAS) , Calibrated Airspeed (CAS) , True Airspeed (TAS) , and more! What Are The Different Types of Airspeed?

Wind velocity of greater than 20 knots with higher gusts, especially flowing over rough terrain, can lead to an unwelcome flight. Even stable airmass of constant 20 knot winds as it traverses over uneven terrain will cause eddies or burbles, or “potholes in the sky” that will “involuntarily” move the aircraft in its various axes.
