The calculator 3 page is referred to as the "wind" page. Use this page to determine the headwind or
tailwind based on the TAS and aircraft heading. This page also displays the direction (true north) and
strength of the wind. There are 6 lines of information.
• Line 1: Indicates this page is used for calculations relating to wind parameters.
• Line 2: Displays the user-entered TAS in knots.
• Line 3: Displays the user-entered aircraft heading in degrees magnetic north.
• Line 4. Displays if the wind has a headwind or tailwind component relative to the aircraft
heading. Also displays the strength of the wind component in knots. HDWIND refers to a
headwind, and TLWIND refers to a tailwind.
• Line 5: Displays the wind direction in degrees true north.
• Line 6: Displays the wind strength in knots.
