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) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 03L | 12.0 | 0.8 (L) | 0.0 |
| 03R | 12.0 | 0.8 (L) | 0.0 |
| 21L | 0.0 | 0.8 (R) | 12.0 |
| 21R | 0.0 | 0.8 (R) | 12.0 |
Runway surface condition
| Runway | Surface | Condition |
|---|---|---|
| 03L | ASPH | Closed |
| 03R | ASPH | Closed |
| 21L | ASPH | Closed |
| 21R | ASPH | Closed |
Condition is inferred from sample NOTAM wording when available.

Carb icing risk chart (quick-look)
Current risk: Moderate
Icing possible; apply carb heat as per POH.
| Temp/Dew spread | Typical risk |
|---|---|
| ≤ 3°C | High (with suitable temp range) |
| 4–6°C | Moderate |
| 7–10°C | Low |
| > 10°C | Minimal |
Profile-based go/no-go (training aid)
Advisory only. Always apply licence privileges, company SOPs, and POH/AFM limits.
