See: http://www.faa.gov/documentLibrary/media/advisory_circular/150-5325-4B/150_5325_4b.pdf New Approach • Aircraft specific tables and charts
Temperature Adjustment = 0.65% per degree F above 59 degrees MTOW 100,000 Runway 6,800 ft Adjusted 8,300
Runway Orientation • Based on predominant winds • Minimization of crosswinds • Winds perpendicular to plane • Safety concerns • 10-20 knots (11.5-23 mph) • Max crosswind function of • Airport category (FAA) • Runway length (ICAO) • Required coverage at least 95%
Wind Data Issues • Night operations • 10 year historical data • Seasonal variation • Visibility • Visual flight rules (VFR) • Instrument flight rules (IFR) • Need for crosswind runway
Wind Analysis (1/4) Determine max crosswind
Wind Analysis (2/4) 23 23 5 Runway 5-23 Use 96% Runway 23 Use 43%
Wind Analysis (3/4) 24 32 24 6 6 14 Runway 6-24 Use 80% Runways 14-32 & 6-24 Use 98%
Wind Analysis (4/4) 6 14 Runways 6 & 14 Use 35%
Windrose Example Coverage 92.8%
