Q

Determine crosswind

A

Clock method
- take the difference between wind direction and runway heading
- change degrees into minutes
- determine how far those miniature go around the clock
-convert to % of one hour
- take that percent and multiply by the total wind component, you now have your cross wind component

Example -
- Runway 15, wind 180 @ 16 knots
- 30 degrees off runway heading = 30 minutes
- 30 minutes = half way around the clock (50%)
- 50% of 16 knots is 8 knots of crosswind

A

A sudden change in wind speed or direction

58
Q

How to avoid wake turbulence for taking off

A

Takeoff before the other aircraft and stay above them

59
Q

How to avoid wake turbulence for landing

A

Stay above and land beyond the aircraft

60
Q

Lost communication procedures

A

When lost coms is suspected
A- troubleshoot
