Have you ever been confused about what which runway to land on based on the winds? With perfect landings you will know exactly which runway to land on based upon the wind direction. Perfect Landings will select the runway with the lowest x-wind component, ensuring that the optimal runway is selected. Perfect Landings will display an image of the runway with an arrow showing the wind in relation to the runway. If a METAR is used to retrieve the airport weather information, the color of the arrow will reflect the reported flight category. A yellow arrow will indicate wind conditions based upon user entered wind speed and direction. For airports with multiple runways alternate runways can be selected showing the x-wind speed for that runway along with an arrow showing how the reported winds.
