Perpendicular to Runway (Crosswind Component) - KNOTS

Directions: 1) Determine the angle between the wind and the runway (ex. 270 is the wind direction, 230 is the
runway alignment, the angle is 40). 2) Follow that line down to the correct wind speed using the arc (ex. winds
are 270 at 10 Kt., follow the 30̊ line down to 10 knots on the arc). 3) Read the Headwind Component on the
LEFT and the Crosswind Component DOWN.
