    Hello, not sure if its been noted before, but when stationary in the rain after pushback with engines running, the raindrops move horizontally as if the aircraft is moving.

    Kind regards.

    I believe the behaviour of the raindrops on the windows is connected to airspeed. So as airspeed increases, the rain drops will appear to flow rearwards over the windows and speed up.

    I suspect in this situation, when stationary after pushback, this would have been caused by the wind speed.
