    Method I and Method II are two methods used to analyze wind data and determine the best runway orientation using a wind rose diagram. Method I does not account for crosswind components and is less accurate, using only wind direction frequencies. Method II uses wind direction, duration, and intensity to determine the optimal primary runway orientation and any necessary secondary runways to achieve over 95% wind coverage. For example, a site with 90.8% coverage from an east-west primary runway would also require a crosswind runway from 12-192 degrees for additional coverage over 95%.

    WIND ROSE

    Runway Orientation
    Runways are always oriented in
    the direction of prevailing wind

    direction of travel

    Wind Rose Diagram


    Velocity, direction, duration are represented by a
    diagram Wind Rose

    Use graphical procedure


    to analyze the wind data for the determination of
    the best runway orientation
    Wind rose diagram wind covers angle 22.5 degree
    Assume wind come from any pt. within 22.5
    degree
    Data 5 to 10 years

    Two Methods
    Method I
    Method II

    Method I
    Absence of wind velocity, not account
    for cross wind component
    Not so accurate
    Radial Line Wind Direction
    Frequency of wind is marked on radial
    line (Scale)
    Plotted pt. are joined by straight line

    The best runway EW


    Available wind coverage = 97% >
    95%
    O.K

    Another - EX. 1.
    Wind coverage = 95%
    (i) cross wind component = 15kmph
    The best runway orientation = ?
    If insufficient wind coverage
    Direction of optimal crosswind runway
    =?
    (ii) Crosswind runway orientation = 30 to
    210
    ==> total wind coverage = ?
    (i.e primary runway & crosswind runway)

    The best runway orientation = 90 to 270


    Runway designation = 9-27
    Wind coverage = 90.8 % < 95%
    Therefore,
    To determine Secondary runway
    (crosswind runway)
    Orientation = 12 to 192
    Additional wind coverage = 6.2%
    Total wind coverage for both primary &
    crosswind runway = 90.8+6.2 = 97%

    (ii)
    Crosswind runway orientation = 30 to
    210
    Runway designation = 3-21
    Wind coverage = 84.8 %
    Additional wind coverage = 5.8%
    Primary Runway orientation =90 to 270
    Wind coverage for primary =90.8%
    Total wind coverage for both = 90.8+5.8
    = 96.6%>95% (Fig. 6.13)
