WIND METERS

Wind Meters at Aviation Survival

Knowing what weather approaches your craft is perhaps one of the most important things to consider when flying. Knowing what speed winds blow at is just as important when in the air. Wind speed and direction can impact your gliding and hovering. Sometimes, intense winds can make it difficult for pilots to fly, so pilots must consider these factors.

A Wind Meter can help a pilot determine the flight conditions. These devices fit right in the pocket of a flight suit or jacket and are easy to transport. The lightweight design of our Wind Meters makes them easy for pilots to use.

Our team at Aviation Survival works closely with distributors and manufacturers to ensure that the products we stock are high-quality and effective. Our Kestrel line of Wind Meters is our most popular, especially since it was one of the first high-performance Wind Meters on the market.

What a Wind Meter Can Do

Wind meters can relay vital details to a pilot in a short period. They give pilots accurate readings of the wind speed and direction, which can help them determine if flight conditions are adequate. Also, this helpful tool can help pilots choose a course through the sky, preventing them from interacting with turbulence and other obstacles.

Here are just a few of the benefits of our line of Wind Meters:

• They provide pilots with an accurate reading of the wind speed.

• They give pilots an idea of wind direction.

• They can help pilots plan their flight courses effectively.

• They can help pilots avoid turbulence and other obstacles.

• They can assist pilots in staying safe in the skies.

Our Kestrel Wind Meters have been pivotal in the aviation industry since 1995, when the manufacturers first distributed them. Since then, they have helped countless pilots plan around and avoid inclement weather. Aviation Survival is happy to provide these cutting-edge tools to our customers, as we understand the importance of safety while in the air.

Why Weather Is An Important Consideration

Weather doesn't just create turbulence or other inconveniences; it can delay vital flights or training, wasting time in the process. Also, dealing with the weather while flying can be risky, so it is best to avoid it altogether. With a pocket Wind Meter, a pilot can quickly assess the wind speed and direction, which gives them an idea of what to expect in the air.

For example, if there are heavy crosswinds and takeoff is a must, a Wind Meter can help pilots determine the speed and direction of these winds so they may take off safely. Safety is always the number one priority, so pilots should receive flight plan weather information to understand further what conditions may or may not affect flight.

Flying into unknown conditions for pilots increases risk, so it's best to avoid windy climates altogether to reduce flight hazards and prepare flight plans before passing through these areas. With Wind Meters reducing flight hazards by providing weather insight, pilots will have more time to focus on tactics and other flight tools at their disposal.
