Hi.When the wind direction is given that is the direction that it is coming FROM isn't it? So if the wind direction is 135 it is actually blowing in a WESTERLY direction? In other words it would be moving with the aircraft and not hindering the progress of the flight?Reason I am being so cautious is that I am trying a flight right on the maximum range of the airplane and I don't want to run out of fuel!CheersRic

Yes, winds are always given in the direction they are coming from. Example: Winds 090 @ 10. This means the winds are coming FROM the East (blowing towards the West) at 10 kts (11.5 mph).
