Description

This lecture covers the calculation of aircraft speed and direction in the presence of crosswinds, using the example of an aircraft flying north with a given wind speed and direction. The instructor explains how to determine the aircraft's speed relative to the wind and the necessary heading to reach the destination. Concepts such as reference frames, trigonometry, and vector addition are applied to solve the problem step by step.
