What are high speed winds used by pilots called?
That's the 'jet stream'.
Why do pilots depend on the jet streams?
In simple terms - they save fuel !... If you're flying in the same direction as a jet-stream is flowing - it takes less energy to maintain the plane's speed.
What determines how far south the the cold air from the north pole travels?
The jet stream
What is the difference between a continental jet stream and a polar jet stream?
A continental jet-stream travels parallel to the equator - a polar jet-stream travels in a north/south direction.
Why is the jet stream important?
a jet stream is important because of climate control
How do pilots use the jet stream to help them?
In order to add its velocity to his own,and that way increase his ground speed

What do pilots take advantage of?
Pilots often take advantage of jet streams. If going in the same direction, jet stream can add up to 200mph to their ground speed.

Pilots conserve fuel by using high altitude winds what are they called?
"jet stream"
What advantages do pilots have when flying on a jet stream?
A jet stream can increase ground speed by up to 200 mph if going the same direction. But it may be a bumpy ride.
