Runway winds & crosswind
Pre-filled with runway 15/33, confirmed by the club. Adjust it if you fly different numbers and we'll remember your change on this device.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 15 | ~599 ft | - | - | - |
| 33 | ~599 ft | - | - | - |
Runway numbers are magnetic while reported winds are true north. Treat components as approximate for RC field use. This field's runway is club-verified, so the live crosswind meter above computes off the confirmed orientation.
