Hello,
I have 2 basic questions that I just can not grasp for some reason.
1. 1f the winds are reported as 090 degrees @ 10 and I have a runway that is at 090 degrees and assuming that I want to land into the wind do I land with a heading of 090 or 270 degrees?
2. If a weather map with wind barbs is available. I understand the vanes represent the wind speed but how do I know what the direction is. is the circle the station and the line that extends outward the direction that the wind is blowing from? A poor attempt at an example. 0___\\\ would indicate the wind is blowing from 090 degrees and again based on question number1. I would want to land with a heading of 090 degrees.
Hope my poor graphics gets the point across.
Thanks in advance for the help.
Tom
