It depends on which software version you have.
Older software versions will only display the "total wind" on the PFD and show on one of the MFD AUX pages the wind direction in degrees.

Newer sofware version allow three different presentations on the PFD.
Press PFD softkey (bottom left) and select wind.
You now have three options :
  • Total wind
  • Two arrows depicting headwind/tailwind and crosswind component
  • "H" or "T" and "X" plus numerical value.

Wind direction in degrees is no longer available on the MFD AUX page
