Schiphol-Tower wind at Take-off
At Schiphol, which might still be an IFALPA Black-Star airport, it is rare to be given the wind at departure by the Tower Controller.
Is this legal? Do you feel comfortable with this situation?
Your comments please!

Landing a AMS the other day, 19R was giving wind at less than 5 kt, whilst 27 was something or other gusting to 20 kt.
I suppose that when 18/36 becomes operational it will need to have it's own TAF & METAR. It's almost far enough away from the rest of AMS to be used as an alternate!
