At Mohammed V International Airport (CMN/GMMN) the live call is landing and departure 17L+17R with METAR wind 110° @ 7 kt. 17L shows 4.1 kt headwind, 0.0 kt tailwind, and 5.7 kt crosswind from the left. Controllers switch runways when the opposite threshold offers more headwind, or when the crosswind on the runway in use climbs. The component table lists every GMMN threshold so you can see which end holds the headwind and which end is taking the tailwind.
