CrossWind Calculator

About this app

This app calculates the different wind components. The direction of wind or runway can be entered manually or by compass. A crosswindlimit can be activated and displayed. You can also choose to display a second runway.
Information about weather and METAR / TAF is also available.

Ratings and reviews

Great app! but It is difficult to change units when you are in the Pressure/Density calculation section even if you change them in settings they seem not being applied! Hope you fix it.

OK I found the fault that leads to my comment below. You need to close the app fully after adjusting the crosswind limit. Otherwise the value is not transfered to the graphic. It is pretty good. But lacks instructions and has a few oddities for instance if you set kts for wind then the crosswind limit setting remains in km/h. Also sometimes there are green arc segments in the wind diagram and sometimes there are not! Clearly has a purpose but again no explanation.

The use interface is frustrating. The fields to enter wind direction and speed didn't seem to be mapped accurately. Touching the user defined field constantly brings up the pick list to set the units instead. Units of measure should be done in the Settings not in the app interface. Use of a drag motion to set values would be preferable to using the device key pad. I haven't explored the features because the user defined value entry is frustrating.
