Sideline point - tower wind may be at various heights above ground. Further there is a reasonably pronounced shear gradient in the lower levels approaching the runway for a typical aerodrome.


A problem arises with the definition of where the wind is measured.


One would prefer to see something along the lines of the operator's limit specifying "reported aerodrome wind" or similar.
