The Crosswind Table

To determine headwind, tailwind or crosswind

component quickly and easily, you must know the

angle between your course and the reported wind

direction. You also must know the reported wind

velocity. This will be especially helpful in anticipat-

ing the effect of wind when landing, because wind

reported by a tower, flight service station, or ATIS is

surface

wind. These reports give wind direction in

relation to magnetic north and can be compared to

your airplane’s heading indicator without correc-

tion. If you use the table with winds aloft, remember

that those winds are reported in relation to true north

and you must apply variation before comparing

them to the heading indicator.
