How do you use wind data
Anyone,
Given:
Runway 15
Winds: 260/15G20 Variable 240-330
How would apply the winds to make the landing calculation? Apply the basic wind, factor in the gusts or use the variable wind to arrive at an exceedence of the 10 knot tailwind component?
In the military heavies, we always used the "worst case", so added to the gust, the worst variable and, in this case, the wind limit was exceeded.
