- RULE OF THUMB. • Estimating the crosswind strength at an uncontrolled field isn't too difficult. Using the one-in-60 angular guesstimate, you can estimate the crosswind component pretty accurately. For example, when at 60 KTAS, each degree of crab needed to hold course indicates a one-knot crosswind component. If you are on final approach at 90 knots KTAS, each degree of crab required indicates a crosswind component of 1.5 knots. If, after turning final at 90 KTAS, you are crabbing 10 degrees, the crosswind is 15 knots. "Five Crosswind Traps" by Ray Leis, Aviation Safety"

Standard WX Briefing
1-800-WX BRIEF |
A standard briefing is the most complete report and provides the overall weather picture. This type of briefing should be obtained prior to the departure of any flight and should be used during flight planning.

"Any AWOS" is a service that connects you to any automated weather reporting station or airport (AWOS, ASOS, and ATIS) in the continental United States (Alaska and Hawaii will be coming soon) that has a public telephone number 877-ANY-AWOS (877-269-2967). any AWOS saves you the trouble of looking up AWOS phone numbers (many of which are hard to find) and connects you, toll-free, to the AWOS of your choice |
