Why would they change runway, if this is true?
I wondered if this implies a crosswind of significant strength, and swapping from say 120 degrees to 60 degrees angle
Can't find metar, but an ordinary weather website (wunderground) with archive has 6 mph SSE at 9 am, 2 mph S at midday
If true, that's barely enough to bother about the difference of direction.
Would it be about taxying distance, or practising another runway after they'd done the other a couple of times?
Or can the weather I've found so far be inaccurate, and it's actually 30 or more knots, and turbulent gusts from the mountains 2 miles upwind?
