seed Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 as you may know CDU steer info page shows wind direction and speed. my question is how the aircraft knows about wind direction and speed? is it come from GPS or other outside sources or the aircraft measure it by itself?
Luzifer Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 It knows where the plane is pointed at and how fast it is flying in the air. Through the inertial navigation system (backed by GPS in modern planes) it knows in which direction and how fast it is travelling over ground. The difference between these is the wind speed and direction. 1

Snoopy Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 It allows the selection of the bearing to or radial from the steering to be displayed. v303d Fighter Group Discord | Virtual 303d Fighter Group Website
