At Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport (BOM/VABB) the live call is landing and departure 32 with METAR wind 10° @ 10 kt. 32 shows 5.6 kt headwind, 0.0 kt tailwind, and 8.3 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 VABB threshold so you can see which end holds the headwind and which end is taking the tailwind.
