Aviation weather near Hamilton Lake Seaplane Base in Hamilton, IN, decoded from the nearest reporting station (KANQ): conditions and runway crosswinds.

Hamilton Lake Seaplane Base (IN02) is a seaplane base in Hamilton, IN. IN02 has no weather station of its own. Conditions here are decoded from KANQ, about 9 nm away, the nearest reporting station, and local conditions can differ. It has 3 physical runways (09/27, 18W, 36W), the longest 6,000 ft. The nearest TAF is issued for KFWA.

Runway wind check

Estimated head/tailwind and crosswind for each runway end from the current reported wind.

Current wind is calm: calm wind is not a factor for runway selection, and with no wind there is no head/tail or crosswind component to compute. Live numbers return automatically once a report includes a wind direction.

IN02 runways

“Current use” is what the facilitystates; wind components are arithmetic on the current METAR against TRUE headings; status reflects NOTAMs received through SWIM, the tower's TFDM record and the D-ATIS — a runway reads “Open” only with a complete NOTAM picture.
