Trigonometric Resolution
Crosswind Component = Wind Speed × Sin(Relative Angle between runway heading and wind direction).
Headwind Component = Wind Speed × Cos(Relative Angle).
Quick trigonometry and mental math formulas to compute crosswind and headwind components for safe takeoff and landing.
Resolving total surface wind into crosswind and headwind components ensures aircraft operations stay strictly inside maximum demonstrated crosswind limits.
Crosswind Component = Wind Speed × Sin(Relative Angle between runway heading and wind direction).
Headwind Component = Wind Speed × Cos(Relative Angle).
