At Şanlıurfa GAP Airport (GNY/LTCS) the live call is landing and departure 04 with METAR wind 120° @ 11 kt. 04 shows 1.1 kt headwind, 0.0 kt tailwind, and 10.9 kt crosswind from the right. 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 LTCS threshold so you can see which end holds the headwind and which end is taking the tailwind.
