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

[@MohammedAbdulluh]

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

[@theacslibrary4404]

Thank you Mohammed! I hope all is well with your flight training! I appreciate your comment!

[@ronaldbird6285]

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

[@theacslibrary4404]

Thank you SO much!! I’ve got no idea what things look like on the Android side. I really appreciate this

[@nogreenmowers]

Thanks for this info.

[@victoryismine2926]

Very helpful! I appreciate this!

[@Noorslifestyle1]

Thanku for good knowledge

[@keithmeline7485]

This is the best episode in the whole series

[@ryanbagaason]

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

[@theacslibrary4404]

I’m so stoked to hear that Ryan! Congratulations on making it through and enjoy the new cert!!😊

[@OB-Ronin]

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

[@castortrench6925]

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.

[@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.

[@theacslibrary4404]

Man I’m lucky if I’m 10% as badass as John Wick haha, but I’m honored you’d mention me alongside him!

[@eggrolleater9382]

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

[@GabeRave]

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

[@theacslibrary4404]

I know! This may be the first time in history trigonometry was used outside of a trigonometry classroom!

[@morisnakus6108]

I love you.

[@theacslibrary4404]

I love you too!!❤

[@slicker55]

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

[@theacslibrary4404]

Thank you Alan! Haha it's always nice to see your comments!

[@tonytadros33]

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!!

[@theacslibrary4404]

Hey Tony! I plan to get back around to it! I look at screens a lot lately for work now and have been trying to spend less and less time away from work looking at screens. I apologize to you and everybody else for the delay. My brain (and dog) have been needing it! Haha

[@jhamesalmeda9961]

Appreciate this

[@theacslibrary4404]

Thank you Jhames!

[@issak1230]

Thank you so much!!!!!!!

[@theacslibrary4404]

My pleasure Yassin! I am glad you're finding the videos helpful!

[@chasekozyra1236]

Brilliant

[@theacslibrary4404]

Thank you Chase!

[@josephgeoghegan7915]

Cheers

[@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.

[@theacslibrary4404]

I tried it out and compared it to the numbers on the calculator. Works pretty damn well! As long as you don’t use it for 90° off😉 haha

[@theacslibrary4404]

Thanks for posting this! It’s a great tip

[@andre97mir]

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

[@theacslibrary4404]

andre mir, I am afraid I have misunderstood the question. Are you able to rephrase it so I might be able to answer better?

[@TheYamahaPilot125]

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?

[@theacslibrary4404]

That's a great point! The chart is based on user input as well, so it would depend if you put them in as magnetic or true in either case. Thank you for pointing this out!

[@theacslibrary4404]

Some of the things people catch in these videos blow me away. The fact that you notice this says a lot about your attention to detail. A REALLY great trait to have as a pilot. Keep it up man!!

[@joeal6114]

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

[@theacslibrary4404]

Hey absolutely. That’s going to be the next series of videos actually! I hope to have them done mid-this upcoming week for the Skyhawk, Archer, and DA40 schedule permitting!

[@meninactionllc5869]

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.?"

[@theacslibrary4404]

Good question Men In Action LLC! This format of question is a lot easier to work through with the Wind Component Chart that you are accustomed to seeing. To use the calculator method, you would find sin(wind angle°), and divide the maximum allowable crosswind component by that value to get the maximum allowable wind velocity from that angle.

[@theacslibrary4404]

So in this case, divide 25 by sin(45°) which is .707174. The product will be 35.4 knots which lines up pretty well with what we would get using the Wind Component Chart. I hope this explanation helps!

[@Aryanne_v2]

That's so much easier than using the stupid chart

[@hensli]

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