It is a particularly insidious phenomenon that can be a prime cause of turbulence. The result will be the angle in degrees that you must correct into the wind. __ You should be aware that these calculations are nowadays often done with flight computers or specialised software, although understanding their basis is fundamental for a pilot.

Calculate the crosswind using the wind component table or a flight computer, such as an E6-B. However, the obstacles generate mechanical turbulence, making the air less stable. The runway most closely aligned to the expected wind direction will likely be active. However, check NOTAMs for runway closures. Be prepared for gusts!
