Crosswind Calculator
Calculate crosswind and headwind components for aviation
Direction wind is coming FROM
Runway 24 = 240°
Typical Crosswind Limits
| Aircraft Type | Max Demonstrated | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Light Single (C172) | 15 kts | Student limits often lower |
| Light Twin | 17-20 kts | Check POH |
| Regional Jet | 25-30 kts | Varies by model |
| Large Transport | 30-38 kts | Wet runway limits lower |
Formulas Used
Crosswind = Wind Speed × sin(angle)
Headwind = Wind Speed × cos(angle)
angle = Wind Direction - Runway Heading
