| If the wind is reported to be on this side of the heading indicator (the top side of your imaginary horizontal line) then simply turn the yoke in the direction the wind is from. For instance, if the wind is reported from 060 then you would simply turn the yoke all the way to the right with neutral elevator. If the wind was reported as 330 then you would turn the yoke all the way to the left with neutral elevator. When the wind is reported to be on this side of the imaginary horizontal line then you simply turn into the wind direction. |
| If the wind is reported on the bottom side of your imaginary horizontal line, then you would "pitch away" from that heading. If the wind is reported as 270 (west) then you should push on the yoke (pitch) and turn the yoke all the way to the right, which is "away" from the west wind. If the wind is reported as 150 degrees then you should push the yoke forward (pitch) and turn the yoke all the way to the left, which is "away" from the 140 degree wind. |
