Easiest Way to Calculate Cross Wind Component (clock method) #shorts

This is the easiest way to calculate cross-winds! You don’t have to pull out your cross wind chart to calculate crosswinds before you land or take off any more this is a much simpler method to calculate the crosswind component. The clock method of crosswind calculation has been used for years by many pilots to get an estimate of their crosswind component. You should use it too!

I've used this method on my landing briefing. My examiner loved it lol

[MrTintin]

There’s another method, probably less accurate but quick and easy.
Crosswind
0 to 30° = 1/3 of the wind speed (Vw)
30 to 60° = 2/3
60 to 90° = 3/3

Headwind
0 to 30° = 3/3
30 to 60° = 2/3
60 to 90° = 1/3

😊✌🏻

Amazing and Easy! You're the best. Thanks for sharing this.

I also use this method for mechanics as a backup for Atis local airport frequency when performing jet engine runs

[izinx]

considering the following:

sin(30°)= 0.50
sin(45°)= 0.70
sin(60°)= 0.87

I used to apply these:
diff:30° -> Xwind= 50%, Headwind= 90%
diff:45° -> Xwind= 70%, Headwind= 70%
diff:60° -> Xwind= 90%, Headwind= 50%

Could also guide how to calculate which runway to pick according to wind direction. Spl if wind is from 350.
Would also like to take this opportunity to Thkyou for the video as a beginner it has made things and aviation life easy for me.

[ShawnHamm]

What about dividing the windspeed by 6 and multiplying by every unit of 10 degrees off from the runway? Example RY36, wind 04012kt. 12 divided by 6 is 2. The wind is 40 degrees off RY36, so 4. 2 x 4 = 8kt crosswind roughly.

HI josh !
in 0:54 i think you have to say 15 . 0.25 instead of 10, because we have 15 degrees

[yarmar]

Do I have tje Time to calculate all this in my head while approaching or there some devices get this done quickly???

[davidlee]

Can you run some examples where the difference between the wind and the runway heading doesn’t land you on a convenient 1/4, 1/2, 3/4, 0 part of your clock?

[jaycomconsulting]

Now this thing goes totally diagonal from my head

[mtkoslowski]

@ OP:
Hi there. Tell me, do you teach your students to look at moving cloud shadows on the ground to calculate wind direction and drift on cross country flying?

You’re making excellent progress on your channel. ❤👍

[TheChronicler-ponb]

Neat method but considering my history with math, I probably should not use this while trying to land. The plane might be missing a wheel or two otherwise lol

[SierraHunter]

Hey I've got another explanation.
Let the wind vector be at 335 degrees with value of 10knots
Difference between the runway and wind vector is 15 degrees
So for vector components it's always one vector which is the |v|.cos (theta) and the other one is |v|.sin(theta). The sin theta component is always and always along the angle and the cosine component is always on the other side.
So for this condition we require the sine component sooo the answer becomes
10.sin(15) which is approximately 2.59 or 2.5.
Pls tell if it was nice. We actually learn all this in grade 11th in basic physics and in grade 12th in mathematics.

Hello! Not sure if you are aware, but a TikTok user is posting your content (on their account) which is in clear violation of their IP guidelines. I found 7 of my channel's videos on his account. If you would like more details I am happy to share. I just wanted to let you know as a fellow creator.

[acasualviewer]

or you can just calculate the sine of the angle in your head.. haha..

Yeah this is useful

[gabriely]

I dont get the last part i watch it 4times wdyk my crosswind component pardon

[christopherbrown]

Usually excellent content, but this one is a swing and a mess. How would I use this to apply appropriate aleiron and rudder control on final? If I'm worried about calculating the maximum crosswind component for my aircraft on a small angle, should I be flying anyway?

[paulcook]

I think that the chart would be easier. I don’t follow this at all.
