  If you have noticed that timeless and colourful fixture at every airport, note that they offer essential information to pilots. It is much safer and quite efficient for an aeroplane to take off and land into the wind and to avoid taking off and landing with a tailwind. In this blog, we will discuss how to read the airport windsock . Pilots need to have a quick and easy way to find out the wind speed and direction before taking off or landing using the airport windsock. Better technology Under the most unusual situations, pilots have much more accurate and advanced technologies that help them to find out the wind speed and direction other than looking at the windsock. For instance, air traffic control, also known as ATC, provides this information before clearing an aircraft for takeoff or landing. Colours One of the most important factors according to the FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) specification, windsocks must be of the following colours: solid orange,...

The windsock is a cost-effective but useful piece of kit which can indicate wind velocity and direction. Wind socks are often found on airport runways and provide pilots and airport staff with important information about wind directions and speeds. Wind socks can also be found in manufacturing plants where toxic materials or gases are used. The direction of the wind sock can tell staff which way the wind is blowing any chemicals. Windsocks may also be found on motorways or other public areas. When used on a boat, the product can be a useful aid in navigation. A windsock is sometimes known as a wind cone. Contemporary windsocks originate from Japan and China, and are usually manufactured using a high quality silk or paper. A windsock is a conical shaped textile tube, which resembles a giant sock. Hence it’s name: windsock. It’s designed to indicate wind direction and relative wind speed. It’s normally placed next to the runway or a helipad, so that pilots can easily see it afte...
