Runway wind components
Why it matters: Crosswind, tailwind, and gust spread affect handling and performance. Headwind is generally helpful but not a limit.
| Runway | Headwind (kt) | Crosswind (kt) | Tailwind (kt) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 18 | None | None (None) | None |
| 36 | None | None (None) | None |
Runway surface condition
| Runway | Surface | Condition |
|---|---|---|
| 18 | TAR | Closed |
| 36 | TAR | Not reported |
Condition is inferred from sample NOTAM wording when available.

|---|---|
| ≤ 3°C | High (with suitable temp range) |
| 4–6°C | Moderate |
| 7–10°C | Low |
| > 10°C | Minimal |
