in the video you say when flying a heading you put the radar bearing pointer on zero left or right as the plane is flying the lubber line. But, would you not want to put the bearing pointer of the radar where the aircraft is actually tracking? Seems if you have a 50 knot cross wind you could have the bearing pointer pointed one direction but the plane actually traveling another??
Hi Neil, Sorry my comment wasn’t very clear, but if you review the video again you may notice that I was referring to the white dashed track line which was coincident with the lubber line. Hence the need to select 0 degrees L on the radar profile. Check some of my other vids on the rain showers and thunderstorms play list. Fly Safely - Train Often .. DR
Riders on the storm was a nice touch at the end 😀
Thanks.. I wanted to leave the thunder track in as well but I couldn’t slip it past the copywriter crew.. Fly Safely - Train Often .. DR
