Headwind
shortens Takeoff and Landing runway length by 8 meters
(25 feet)
with every 5 km/h
(3 kts)
of wind increase (e.g. provided there is a 10 km/h
(6 kts)
headwind on takeoff and landing, dis-
tances will be approximately 16 meters
(50 feet)
shorter then ones published in the manual).
Tailwind
prolongs Takeoff and Landing runway length by 18-20 meters
(60-65 feet)
with every 5
km/h
(3kts)
wind increase (e.g. provided there is a 10 km/h
(6kts)
tailwind on takeoff and landing, dis-
tances will be approximately 36-40 meters
(120-130 feet)
longer then ones published in the manual).
WARNING!
Tailwind affects takeoff and landing performance by more than twice as much as
headwind does.
The table below provides data about the effect of headwind (+) and tailwind (-) on takeoff runway
length.
