At Charlotte Douglas International Airport (CLT/KCLT) the live call is landing and departure 01L+36 with METAR wind CALM. 01L shows 0.0 kt headwind, 0.0 kt tailwind, and calm crosswind (0.0 kt). 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 KCLT threshold so you can see which end holds the headwind and which end is taking the tailwind.
