Active Runway vs RWY Wind

When your workload is high, calculating the best runway for landing can be difficult. Active Runway makes it quick and simple. Built for pilots who need fast runway decisions in the cockpit, Active Runway is designed to be simple to use, easy to read, and fully functional without cell service. Just move the sliders to the available runways and current wind direction, then tap Calculate. Active Runway will display the runway with the least crosswind — that's it. New: Load any airport to pull current and forecasted weather, and Active Runway will automatically calculate the preferred runway for you. I hope you find this app helpful in the cockpit. Comments and suggestions are always welcome.

Compare your runway heading with the wind and get the crosswind and head/tailwind components instantly. No mental trigonometry, no scratch pad. On launch it pulls the METAR wind from the nearest station to your position and sets the runway to that airport's favored end. Move to another field and the runway follows. WHAT IT DOES Shows crosswind and head/tailwind components live, and tells you which side the crosswind is from. You enter your own limit and the bar shows where you stand against it. It warns you when you go over. Drag the runway and the wind on the compass rose with your finger. Any scenario takes a second. Lock the runway and it stays put no matter how the wind turns. Whatever the tower assigned, it holds. Suggests the favored runway for the nearest field, applied with one tap. The history screen keeps the METAR reports you pulled and the runway suggestions. Four themes, Turkish and English interface. WHO IT IS FOR Student pilots, line pilots, glider pilots, drone operators; anyone who needs the angle between runway and wind turned into components quickly. DATA SOURCE Wind data comes from NOAA's aviationweather.gov METAR service. Location is used only to find the nearest station at that moment. It is not stored and not shared. DISCLAIMER This is a calculation tool, not an official briefing source. Always verify flight decisions against official METAR, TAF and ATIS information.
