That bright orange cone you see at the airport is called a “ windsock”. It may look simple, but it gives pilots instant information about wind direction and approximate wind speed. The direction in which the windsock points shows where the wind is coming from, and the more it stretches out, the stronger the wind. For pilots, wind information is critical during take-off and landing, because aircraft perform best when operating into the wind. Sometimes the simplest tools at an airport play the most important role in flight safety. . . #flightsafety #windsock #trending #aviation #aviator_vinay . . .[ aviation , pilotlife , windsock , airport , wind , take off , landing , flight safety , aviation lovers , safety , Airbus , Boeing ]
