'approaching' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'a hang-glider might like to be?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'be?' could be 'wind' (winding is a kind of being) and 'wind' is located in the answer.
The remaining letters 'inthe' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'where' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for in the wind that I've seen before include "Likely to happen" , "experiencing more of a chill factor?" , "Astir; afoot" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
