There was an interesting post on another thread where it was suggested that most of the rural (non instrument equipped) West coast Scottish airstrips were laid out in a more N/S heading as opposed to the East coast which are predominately in a W/E direction. The reason being that although some have geographic constraints the main consideration is that even though the majority of days the winds are westerly the most VFR flying days are when the wind is from the S S/W.
Any thoughts as to the accuracy of this theory?
