Runway wind check
Estimated head/tailwind and crosswind for each runway end from the current reported wind.
Current wind is variable at 6 kt: light and variable wind like this is generally not a factor for runway selection, and with no steady direction there is no head/tail or crosswind component to compute. Live numbers return automatically once a report includes a wind direction.
| Runway | Length | Surface | Head / Tail | Crosswind |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 01 | 5,600 ft | DIRT-G | - | - |
| 19 | 5,600 ft | DIRT-G | - | - |

“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.
