Impact of Cross- and Tail-Wind on Aerodrome Safety, Capacity and Noise
Brussels Airport
Cross- and tail-wind have a high impact on flight safety and aerodrome operations. Though international standards or best practices may be applied to define the maximum wind components, these are rarely supported by a thorough underlying rationale and do not take into account airports specific characteristics.
airsight, on behalf of the Belgian State Secretary for Mobility, carried out in 2009 a qualitative and quantitative analysis on the combined impact of alternative maximum wind component figures on safety, capacity and noise pollution at Brussels International Airport.
