TIP  FOR  HOW  TO TAXI  WITH
AILERONS  CORRECTED FOR WIND
Text books will often explain how to taxi with aileron correction for wind, but
they tend to fall short of how to practically apply the technique when you are
actually in the airplane taxiing.  The image below is what most text books tell
you.
A good way to remember what to do with the yoke is to "turn into the
wind
" if the wind is in front of the plane and to "pitch away from the
wind
" if the wind is coming from behind the plane. Well when you
actually get in the plane and you are turning from time to time it can get a
little confusing... So here is my tip to help make this task easy as pie:


Simply take the wind report from ATIS, tower, or from a wind sock and
remember the direction.  Next look at your heading indicator (directional
gyro) and look where the wind direction is on the heading indicator.  
Now make an imaginary horizontal line through the middle of the
heading indicator.  If the wind direction falls somewhere on the top of the
line, which means the wind is on the front side of the plane, then you
should turn the yoke toward the wind direction and leave the elevator
neutral.  If the wind is anywhere below the imaginary horizontal line then
the wind is coming from behind the plane and you should "pitch away
from the direction"... "
Pitching" means to push forward on the yoke and
the "
away" means to turn the yoke in the opposite direction of the wind.
Below is an example with an imaginary line dividing the heading
indicator:


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.
