Hi, I need some help regarding crosswind problems, I hope someone can help me out since it is really bugging me...Lets see...IŽll set out an example and then the questions...

1. If there is a wind on runway 03 reported as 350/25, what is the crosswind component?... what I don't understand, is why in crosswind problems you are always given the runway number, why is that?, how is the runway number linked to the calculation you are asked??, and, what does 350/25 mean?

Thanks.
