Original Message In The Airmass, if it is moving, and you are entering SWP/VRS.Because you move along with the airmass as it moves over the earth. If there is no wind, then you are stationary over the earth ie, you are hovering as one of the prerequisites for SWP/VRS, which is low to no translational speed. Notice that a tailwind is not one of the prerequisites for SWP/VRS. It is how you handle the tailwind that can lead you to satisfying the only 3 requirements. If you get into SWP with a tailwind, you didn't compensate for it with the proper control inputs to keep you out of settling with power. Don't blame the tailwind for your incompetent control touch. |
