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) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 02 | 0.0 | 0.0 (L) | 0.0 |
| 20 | -0.0 | 0.0 (L) | 0.0 |
Runway surface condition
| Runway | Surface | Condition |
|---|---|---|
| 02 | ASPH | Not reported |
| 20 | ASPH | Not reported |
Condition is inferred from sample NOTAM wording when available.
NOTAM highlights
- No NOTAM sample available.
Carb icing risk chart (quick-look)
Current risk: Low
Light icing possible in prolonged low-power ops.
| Temp/Dew spread | Typical risk |
|---|---|
| ≤ 3°C | High (with suitable temp range) |
| 4–6°C | Moderate |
| 7–10°C | Low |
| > 10°C | Minimal |
