Wind effect on descent A320
Hi!
I’m trying to find an easy rule of thumb to monitor my descent with significant tailwind on descent.
let’s assume tailwind is 50 knots at TOD, normally I use 3*altitude plus deceleration plus tailwind. For tailwind I use 1nm each 10knots of tailwind. I see this works with a high speed descent (say over 300 knots) but with our CI we have around 270 and it is not enough. Anyone with a better estimation of wind effects on descent computation?
If asking why I do all this when I have managed des , is bcs with trombone style arrivals (snake) most of the times I get major shortcut so to mitigate this I use OP des and stay lower
