Jose M Pereira 6 Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Hi, I just noticed wind direction on ND is true instead of magnetic. 246º are Indicated on the ND while 251º (mag) are shown in FS, arrow is consistent with 246º. At this position, magnetic declination is around 5º. Actually I did notice this issue on a flight yesterday where the magnetic declination is around 10º. At that time the crosswind component was from the right while looking at the ND crosswind wind component was from the left. Regards, Jose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaap K. 43 Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 The wind direction in numerals is relative to true north, the wind direction arrow is relative to magnetic north. This is how Airbus has designed it, so not a bug but a feature. Do you have a picture of the crosswind component coming from the wrong direction? I'm not exactly sure what you mean here.

Jose M Pereira 6 Posted February 23, 2014 Author Share Posted February 23, 2014 It is correct Only that wind digital indication and arrow in AAX use the same value TRUE direction, as far as I can tell. Edit: Added a pic. Wind Mag: 278/27 True:269/27. Sorry the pic is a little dark, but can you tell arrow is from True wind direction instead of Mag wind direction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
