Programming wind into the FMS


Recommended Posts

Hi,

I have got a question about programming the wind data from SimBrief into the FMS (CRJ 700). Which data I have to use for climb/cruise and descent wind? Is it enough to enter only for example AVGE WC p003 without any direction. Sorry for the question but I‘m a newbie in this field. The videos from the Dude I have already studied. Maybe someone could help me.

Best regards

The Dude is doing that in the Video, so it should be alright. Of course you could also specify a wind component for climb and descend, if you have it available. Otherwise it is okay to just enter the average wind like you said. 
 

If you use the format you mentioned, you take the wind direction into account already. P003 means that you have an average tail wind component of 3 knots. This number was computed based on the wind speed and direction relative to your track.
