Cross Wind Assistant (v. 1.5.1) Разработано Rick Lettow |
Cross Wind Component Assistant is designed as a training tool for Flight Instructors and Student Pilots or Low Time Pilots. The app has a database of over 21,900 airports and 26,600 runways worldwide. It integrates with over 4800 online METAR stations across the globe and provides cross wind component calculations for all runway directions automatically. The Cross Wind Component Assistant is easy to use and will help Pilots visualize wind conditions during the takeoff and landing phases of flight. If ever a picture was worth a thousand words, this is it. Flight Instructors and Flight Schools could use the App to help students quickly understand the go/no-go decision on a windy day.

[2012-07-21] x: Just what I've been looking for This is just the crosswind app I've been looking for. The others require the pilot to at least enter the runway number. This one displays the complete radial wind picture at a glance, with all runways already entered.along with crosswind components and suggested runways. What more could you ask for? Why isn't something like this built into EFBs? |

[2012-05-28] WSP: Great tool I am very impressed by the Cross Wind Assistant app! It's super-simple to use and gives a graphic representation of the crosswind (which it pulls from the closest METAR reporting station), as well as the suggested runway given the conditions. I think this will be a very useful tool! Well done! |
