Runway wind components
Why it matters: Crosswind, tailwind, and gust spread affect handling and performance. Headwind is generally helpful but not a limit.
| Runway | Length (m) | Headwind (kt) | Crosswind (kt) | Tailwind (kt) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 08 | 4532 m | 0.0 | 0.9 (L) | 4.9 |
| 26 | 4532 m | 4.9 | 0.9 (R) | 0.0 |
