Probably not a troll, but I suspect not a US test. I don't recall formally learning this as a rule of thumb.I mean, blast me if I’m wrong, but don’t winds get weaker closer to ground? In addition that would reduce coriollis ??
The wind speed is the give away.
Could be a troll.
Yeah, I’ve never seen a format like that.Probably not a troll, but I suspect not a US test. I don't recall formally learning this as a rule of thumb.
Your memory is accurate, though. The answer is (d). Surface friction reduces both wind speed and coriolis effect, so (d) has to be the answer.

No.May I be correct with troll??
UK guy Okay, thank you for the explanation.It’s a UK test.
I did the ground school about ten months ago and took a break due to some reasons and forgot it. But now i remembered. Thanks
You are welcome. And for what it is worth, there is no reason to delete the thread. It might be useful to someone down the line, even if Kritchlow is a stick in the mud.It’s a UK test.

Unfortunately you are wrong. I wouldn’t want to wasn’t my time by doing such things.May I be correct with troll??
Noted.You are welcome. And for what it is worth, there is no reason to delete the thread. It might be useful to someone down the line, even if Kritchlow is a stick in the mud.
Huh??? I simply asked the question that is made in MANY threads.You are welcome. And for what it is worth, there is no reason to delete the thread. It might be useful to someone down the line, even if Kritchlow is a stick in the mud.
It did seem kind of premature to start slinging the troll label. It was a pretty straightforward question, whereas trolling generally is meant to get people riled up. Like “I want to do my night cross country for my PPL solo because I’ll be doing a lot of night flying, but my instructor won’t sign me off, is he milking me”?Huh??? I simply asked the question that is made in MANY threads.
I welcome new comers and reject your constant negativity toward me.
I’m truly sorry if I labeled someone as a troll when they should not have been.
That rarely stops some from labeling as a troll, a potential new member with a question.It did seem kind of premature to start slinging the troll label.

Just out of curiosity, dude,Dude, you need a much thicker skin around here. Sometimes the people asking if it's a troll are trolling, then get trolled by people saying they are trolling...…. and so on.
Any dude who thinks I may be talking about him, lol.Just out of curiosity, dude,
Which dude are you talking to?
I think I came across it once. It's a rule of thumb specifically applicable to surface vs 2000 AGL. Going from 2000 AGL to surface, it's half the wind and 30 degrees clockwise. And it's really just a guestimate since the actual numbers depend a lot on what is on the ground. More ground friction with tall buildings; less with farmland. Just a guess, but it probably goes back to a time when airports, particularly nontowered ones, didn't have reliable wind information. So you used the winds aloft to get a general idea what they might be.It’s a UK test.

...and no need to delete the thread. All questions are welcome here. We might even learn something from the questions asked in other countries.
