Description
Mental Crosswind is a simple application for student pilot who struggle to quickly process in their head what a wind announcement from the tower means in term of cross wind.
The app will generate random wind configuration for a given runway and announce it as a controller would. You can then practice in your head to visual and estimate the crosswind. You can then press the Display button to see the wind graphically and the numerical cross wind and direct wind component.
Usage:
- press the practice button to generate a wind announcement (make sure your volume and sound is on). Each press on practice will generate a new wind configuration.
- press the wind check button to hear the announcement again for the same wind as previously announced
- press display to see the wind graphically represented
- if you selected an airport you can also press the refresh button
In the setting page you can:
- choose whether the app starts in practice mode (wind not displayed, but announced), Analysis mode (wind displayed) or last (start as it last exited)
- choose wether the app should on start up use the wind from the METAR of a given airport or from the nearest airport (will required location when in use)
Note this app is not intended and SHOULD NOT be used for flight planning, this is purely a training tool.
Ratings and Reviews
Crosswind computing
You made a great tool! I use it for my students, but I’ve found it to be a little misleading. Can you configure it to use the peak wind gust when providing headwind/crosswind?
Winds wrong
Cool concept- but 350 degrees is listed as “-10.”
Developer Response ,
Thanks for the feedback, it's an a bit of an experiment, could you send me a screen shot of some info about the error, I could not reproduce, keen to fix. thanks!
