Flying a NDB Approach with Wind Correction in a BE76 Duchess is an updated video from the original Moorabbin NDB video. The update is flying the approach with wind correction.
This video includes two holding patterns over the NDB, followed by the outbound and inbound tracks. A post flight analysis showing the actual flight paths from start to finish. You will see the effect wind has on flying holding patterns.
If you are flying a NDB Approach and you also have GPS onboard, you can fully utilize the GPS to determine the actual Wind Direction. (This is a new technique I developed on my own, it has never been taught to me by anyone else.) Also, based on your required wind correction angle for your TAS, you can accurately estimate the wind strength.
You will need to calculate the wind correction angle for your flight, based on your Wind Direction, Speed and TAS. Play with an E6B computer to see the relationship between TAS, Wind Direction and Speed. See what it does to your required Wind Correction Angle. If you do not have access to an E6B Pilot Computer, you can use an online version at no cost. The online E6B can be found here by clicking on this link: https://e6bx.com/e6b/
