Cool

I regularly fly a public transport jet into FNC. The one comment I would like to add to the discussion is that am I the only one to notice that the wind seems to spend an awfull lot of time at 14Knots!! Since the legal limit in most directions is 15Knots this raises the unpleasant possibility that the tower are being economic with the truth when it comes to giving a wind check. If that is the case then the implications are very disturbing. And since I am sure the anenometers used are not of the recording type then how is any incident to be investigated subsequently?
