ASSIGNMENT SHEET

In Flight Winds

Assignment Sheet No. 4.6.1A

INTRODUCTION

The purpose of this assignment sheet is to aid the student in determining wind direction

and velocity (the wind vector), given the True Heading and True Airspeed (the air vector),

Track and Ground Speed (the ground vector).
