crosswind component
- Definição1
- A component of wind velocity 90º to the track, runway, or any other direction. It is equal to W/V (Wind Velocity) x sine A, where A is the angle between W/V and the direction concerned.

- Definição2
- The wind component, measured in knots, at 90° to the longitudinal axis of the runway.

- Contexto
- If a preferential runway is not the runway in use due to the crosswind component exceeding 15 kt, a request to use a preferential runway will be complied with if the handling of the other traffic so permits.
- Applicants are advised to provide approved real-time crosswind component measurement systems such that the crosswind component speeds can be verified after each aircraft test run. When the applicant uses a wind measurement system that is remotely located and not readily accessible, such as chart recorders that simultaneously and independently measure and record wind speed and direction, it may not be practical to determine the real-time crosswind component for each test run. For aeroplanes, if the applicant does not provide an acceptable real-time crosswind component measurement system, the 5.1 m/s (10 kt) maximum crosswind component and the 3.6 m/s (7 kt) average crosswind component become the maximum wind limitations regardless of wind direction.
