In this part two of our airplane navigation class, we will learn how airplane pilots navigate from one point to another when the wind blows, causing the airplane to drift.

Class Experience

In this part two course of aircraft navigation, we will learn how pilots calculate for wind drift (when the wind blows the airplane away from its desired direction of flight). This class is the second part of our beginner airplane navigation class, and therefore it is highly recommended that the student takes the Introduction to Airplane Navigation class. 

In this one time class we will learn and complete:

•	What is wind drift, and why is it important to calculate it?
•	How we calculate for...

Students will be able to understand what wind drift is, and why it is important to know. Students will be able to calculate wind drift using an E6B calculator by solving a wind drift math problem. Finally, students will be able to use what they have learned about wind drift, by applying it to a simulated flight from one airport to another airport.
