METAR/TAF WIND VECTOR PREDICTIONLand 13Dep 13

Sirt International Airport / Ghardabiya Airbase (SRX/HLGD) is using landing and departure 13 right now. The badge is the confidence from the live NOAA Aviation Weather Center METAR and TAF wind vector, scored against every threshold.

Live METAR and TAF

NOAA METAR was unavailable, so the wind vector assumes calm air and prefers the longer runways.

Headwind, tailwind, and crosswind at HLGD

Every runway threshold at HLGD. Headwind is on the nose. Tailwind is the same component when the wind is on the tail. Positive crosswind in the source math is from the right.
