Default ATC Quotes Wrong Runway Direction

Featured Replies

Hello All

 

For some strange reason, default ATC seems to perpetually quote the wrong runway direction at UK2000's London Stansted.

 

So for example, last night ATC was verbally instructing all a/c to t/o and land on runway 04, but they were all actually using the opposite end, 22 - which would be the correct end based upon the ATIS report of 190' wind direction. Hence, it's just the verbal instruction that's wrong, not the actual action itself.

 

Any one seen this before - perhaps not at Stansted, but at any where else ?

 

Any help much appreciated.

This type of thing is normally down to the weather engine you use injecting the airport weather when you are to close to it.

 

What weather engine do you use ?

Wind speed also makes a difference.
