Question:medium

Crosswind primarily affects

Show Hint

Wind effects on aircraft: \[ \boxed{ \begin{aligned} \text{Headwind} &\rightarrow \text{Reduces take-off distance} \text{Tailwind} &\rightarrow \text{Increases take-off distance} \text{Crosswind} &\rightarrow \text{Affects directional control} \end{aligned} } \]
