Has the airport/hangar infrastructure been wind tunnel tested, in order to ensure the preservation of safe operational margins in wind conditions such as those characteristic to flight 521?...
Presumably you mean to prevent or reduce mechanical turbulence? -you could ask yourself if "airport/hangar infrastructure" has been wind tunnel tested for this anywhere on earth; I think the answer will be no, no-one does this. Having trees and buildings near a runway is a fact of life for pilots.
