At Multan International Airport (MUX/OPMT) the live call is landing and departure 18 with METAR wind CALM. 18 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 OPMT threshold so you can see which end holds the headwind and which end is taking the tailwind.
