Runway winds & crosswind

Pre-filled with runway 08/26, measured from aerial imagery — adjust it if your club flies different numbers and we'll remember your change on this device.

RunwayUsing runway 08/26

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.

Runway	Length	Surface	Head / Tail	Crosswind

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.
