I am an Instructor.A student said to me the other day who ever worked this keypoint out and does it take into accoutn the varying wind conditions ? And my next question he was at his keypoint didn't put the flap down and missed the field, he said to me why you little ****** you told me at 1000ft agl we would make the field the wind was very strong 30kt - cherokee I fly.
Am I missing the point? Is wind irrelevent or is there some more mathmatical way that this 1000ft keypoint was ascertained? help I am not an airline pilot yet!!!
