Wind Triangle

	Show a decimal point for angular values
	Show a decimal point for scalar values

Main Variables

Wind Direction (WD)

[^o]

Wind Speed (WS)

[knots]

[km/h]

[sm/h]

Heading (HDG)

[^o]

True Airspeed (TAS)

[knots]

[km/h]

[sm/h]

Course (CRS)

[^o]

Ground Speed (GS)

[knots]

[km/h]

[sm/h]

Correlated Variables

Cross Wind Component (XWC)

[knots] - L / + R

[km/h]

[sm/h]

Head Wind Component (HWC)

[knots] - T / + H

[km/h]

[sm/h]

Crab Angle (CRA) or Wind Correction Angle (WCA)

[^o] - L / + R

Drift Angle* (DRA)

[^o] - L / + R

		Unknown Variables	* Note: The Drift Angle here is the angle that the aircraft would drift if the Crab Angle or Wind Correction Angle were not applied. If the Crab Angle is applied the aircraft's Drift Angle is the same as the Crab Angle but in the opposite direction.
		Known Variables

     Specify the unknown variables then enter any field that is white and see the results on the green fields. Correlated
     variables are calculated as a result of the main variables above. XWC and HWC may be entered in place of WD and WS.
     WD and WS will be calculated as a result of XWC, HWC and CRS. If entering XWC and HWC be sure to have the CRS
     set first. Showing decimal places does not affect the precision used in the calculations. Since results are calculated as data
     is entered, be sure to enter all data before interpreting results.
