Aviation weather near Couillard Seaplane Base in Martins Creek, PA, decoded from the nearest reporting station (KN40): conditions and runway crosswinds.

Couillard Seaplane Base (PA15) is a seaplane base in Martins Creek, PA. PA15 has no weather station of its own. Conditions here are decoded from KN40, about 15 nm away, the nearest reporting station, and local conditions can differ. It has one runway (10/28), the longest 3,000 ft. The nearest TAF is issued for KABE.

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.

“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.
