Runway winds & crosswind
Pre-filled with runway 18/36, measured from aerial imagery. Adjust it if your club flies different numbers and we'll remember your change on this device.
Current wind is variable at 3 mph: 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 18 | ~581 ft | Grass | - | - |
| 36 | ~581 ft | Grass | - | - |
Runway numbers are magnetic while reported winds are true north. Treat components as approximate for RC field use. Are these your club's verified runway numbers? Tell us and we'll show them for every visitor.
