Why do operators tell you "the instant wind is" on final? Pretty pedantic, obviously the wind given is the one read at the time. More health and safety rubbish??
cessnapete, as you may know the wind passed by ATC at airports with all the gizmos is the average over the last 2 minutes. "Instant wind" is passed on request from the pilot.

Anyone at A/G or AFISO who talks about "instant wind" is probably playing "Airports"...
