How to Find Crosswind Component Using your iPhone Calculator (PA.I.F.K2a)

This video covers How to Calculate Crosswind Components.

In today’s video we discuss two methods of calculating crosswind components, both timestamped below, based on observed or reported winds; one using the familiar Crosswind Component Chart and another using our phone's calculator.

This channel is like a hidden gem! Thanks for your efforts

Hey Kyle, I just passed my checkride and these videos helped a lot!

[keithmeline]

This is the best episode in the whole series

[castortrench]

Oh man! I think I’m a bit late to the party. Just wanted to drop you a line to sincerely thank you for the effort you put into these vids! My check ride is in a few days and these are gold. Easy peasy young thug and c-breezy.

[OB-Ronin]

Boy!!! This is the best video ever! Two snap and a slap!

[smflyboy]

This is awesome thx! I can quickly calculate crosswind component without plotting it out. Love it!

[HiTechRob]

When Keanu Reeves teaches Aviation ACS... lol! Great video! My CFI didn't even teach me this. I'll show her the next time I see her.

[tonytadros]

I just basically watched every video you've uploaded and they've been super helpful. any plans on continuing with the rest of the ACS? im sure you're busy so no rush!!

Thank you for explaining how to calculate ... perfect, almost there now but have a question. In the video you use the example 23010G17KT which produces a Sustained Crosswind Component of 6.4KTS and Gusting Crosswind Component of 10.9KTS (so far, so good). I am learning the PMDG 737-800 and, using this example, would like to know what value should be entered in the WIND CORR field of the APPROACH REF page in the FMC?

[MrHendren]

Hey bro hope all is well with you looking forward to catching up on some of these videos keep up the good work. Appreciate it.

Had to edit my comment.. Watched the video, hahaha your awesome

[andremir]

I have question do you know that writes by certificate standards method or regarding that standards????

[joeal]

Nice explain. Bro could you explain how calculate the take off distance and landing.

[TheYamahaPilot]

This makes perfect sense but the sin and cos way doesn't take into consideration that the winds are true and the runway headings are magnetic. Does the chart take this into account?

[ronaldbird]

for Android users it needs to be put in as sin/cos first the degrees difference in the brackets times the wind speed so it should look exactly like this: cos(40)x10 =7.66... and sin(40)x10 = 6.42.. don't know how obvious that is or not but just in case anyone rocking android I thought I should just point that out

[meninactionllc]

with this same method how would you work this question out ?? "Determine the maximum wind velocity for a 45° crosswind if the maximum crosswind component for the airplane is 25 knots.?"

[eggrolleater]

what i like to do is get the angle so 40° remove the 0 so 4 + 2 = 6 then times the 6 by the wind but dropping the 0. 6 * 1 = 6

[MsTatli]

I recall a rule of thumb where u divide the difference b/w rw heading and wind direction by 60 ... So if it is 40 40 by 60 is 2/3 .. So for 10 knots 20 by 3 is approx. 7..knots cross wind.

[GabeRave]

SO COOL ! I'm actually gonna use SIN and COS in real life!

[Aryanne_v]

That's so much easier than using the stupid chart

[hensli]

GOD, I hate that dumb graph!!! Thank you for the calculator tactic...
