JAR OPS Landing Wind Factor

Hi all!

I have been reading up on JAR OPS for the CPL test and I'm a bit confused as to the meaning of JAR OPS 1.515. It states in para (B)2 that:

"Not more than 50% of the head-wind
component or not less than 150% of the tailwind
component"

is used when landing.

It then states in para (C)1 that:

"The aeroplane will land on the most
favourable runway, in still air"

So for my CPL test do I take wind into consideration? I would say yes and that (C)1 is used when planning a flight long in advance of the actual date eg, a scheduled flight, but I am unsure.

Thanks for any help on the boring subject
