Runway winds & crosswind
Pre-filled with runway 09/27, 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 09 | ~500 ft | Grass | - | - |
| 27 | ~500 ft | Grass | - | - |
No terminal forecast (TAF) is available near this field right now: some stations (especially military fields) only issue TAFs part-time.
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.
