3.16 WIND LIMITATIONS
The wind component chart is shown below.
Example:
Known:
Take-off heading
270°
Reported wind direction
230°
Reported wind speed
25 kt
Determine:
− Crosswind component
− Headwind component
Solution:
− Crosswind component = 16 kt
− Headwind component
= 19 kt
1. Wind direction relative to take-off heading is 270° - 230° = 40°.
2. Enter chart at reported wind speed (25 kt).
3. Move upward, follow the shape of the curved lines to wind direction relative to take-off
heading (40°).
4. Move vertically upward (read 19 kt headwind component) and horizontally right (read 16 kt
crosswind component).
