Crosswind/Tailwind Component Criteria (see Appendix A). Other Safety Considerations. When considering operational advantage with respect to runway use, the air traffic control facility must develop and implement written Runway Use Plans that proactively consider current and developing wind conditions and include clearly defined crosswind/tailwind criteria, including wind gusts. (See Appendix A). Considerations peculiar to a specific aircraft regularly utilizing the airport must also be considered to the extent that they can be identified. Safety considerations must be applied in developing a runway use program are listed in Appendix A. Appendix A provides a list of safety considerations that must be evaluated when developing crosswind and tailwind limits. may be other considerations peculiar to the airport, a specific runway, or an aircraft that regularly uses the airport that are not listed. It is the responsibility of the RSST to identify and evaluate any additional considerations it considers appropriate. h. Requests for Waivers Should include documentation of all considerations contained within this Must include participants to the RSST. Shall be submitted to Service Area Operations Support Group (OSG) and regional All Weather Operations Program Manager (AWOPM). Shall be jointly approved/disapproved by headquarters Air Traffic and Flight Standards.
