Veering

Aviation VectorVelocity

Veering: A clockwise change of wind.
Velocity: Rate of motion along a defined path.
Vent: The central hole in the canopy of a parachute which promotes stability through the escape of superfluous air pressure.

 


The terms veering and backing originally referred to the shift of surface wind direction with time but meteorologists now use the term when referring to the shift in wind direction with height.

No, there is nothing more to stop aircraft following N864 from veering to avoid weather than those following any other airway.

Press the trim button in opposition to the rotational force exerted on the aircraft; in other words, if your helicopter is veering off to the left, apply a few clicks to the right trim button until it begins to fly straight.
