Wind Socks: Measure the Wind Precisely

Indicate the wind direction accurately with our high-quality wind socks!

The wind socks, also called wind indicators, are essential visual devices for pilots, aerodromes, and aviation activities in general. These instruments help determine the wind direction and, to some extent, estimate its speed, thus facilitating flight operations and ensuring the safety of aircraft.

They are typically made of a soft and lightweight tube, often crafted from weather-resistant fabric. Fixed at the top of a mast, they orient according to the wind direction, providing a clear indication of its origin. Although their shape does not allow for precise wind speed measurement, their inflation and orientation can give an approximate estimate of its intensity.

These devices are particularly useful during takeoff and landing phases, where the wind direction and strength are crucial factors for the safety of maneuvers. They are also used to monitor local weather conditions, allowing pilots to adjust their flight plans accordingly.

On BAYO, we offer several models of wind socks, tailored to the needs of pilots and aerodromes, including the wind sock for simplified mast and STNA, which is essential equipment for indicating the direction and strength of the wind at aerodromes and for pilots. Easy to install, it is designed to withstand weather conditions and adapt to various types of masts, including those conforming to STNA standards. This model is particularly appreciated for its durability and simplicity of use, providing optimal visibility for aerial maneuvers. You can also find the Delta Box brand in our store.

Another model available is the simple mast, which is designed to support wind socks at aerodromes and other aviation installations. With adjustable height and a robust structure, it ensures a stable and reliable fixation, even in harsh weather conditions. Easy to install, this mast is perfect for use at aviation fields or temporary installations. Feel free to check out our blog article!
