Visual Traffic Pattern vs RWY Wind

The Visual Traffic Pattern provides a complete visual reference to a selected runway's left or right traffic pattern. With a single finger rotation a pilot can easily view the runway, crosswind, downwind, base, and 45 degree entry headings associated with that runway's traffic pattern. The magnetic orientation of the runway can be rotated to match the aircraft's heading to allow the pilot to visualize the aircraft's approach to the selected runway. Additional features include compass control of the Heading indicator and a built in Wind Component diagram which will allow you to easily determine runway crosswind and headwind components before takeoffs and landings. This app is designed for optimal viewing and use on an iPad or iPhone 5 and above. This app requires iOS 8.0 or greater.

Compare your runway heading with the wind and get the crosswind and head/tailwind components instantly. No mental trigonometry, no scratch pad. On launch it pulls the METAR wind from the nearest station to your position and sets the runway to that airport's favored end. Move to another field and the runway follows. WHAT IT DOES Shows crosswind and head/tailwind components live, and tells you which side the crosswind is from. You enter your own limit and the bar shows where you stand against it. It warns you when you go over. Drag the runway and the wind on the compass rose with your finger. Any scenario takes a second. Lock the runway and it stays put no matter how the wind turns. Whatever the tower assigned, it holds. Suggests the favored runway for the nearest field, applied with one tap. The history screen keeps the METAR reports you pulled and the runway suggestions. Four themes, Turkish and English interface. WHO IT IS FOR Student pilots, line pilots, glider pilots, drone operators; anyone who needs the angle between runway and wind turned into components quickly. DATA SOURCE Wind data comes from NOAA's aviationweather.gov METAR service. Location is used only to find the nearest station at that moment. It is not stored and not shared. DISCLAIMER This is a calculation tool, not an official briefing source. Always verify flight decisions against official METAR, TAF and ATIS information.
