How this service works
Calculates crosswind for aviation runways and flight operations.
Output
Returns a JSON object with headwind component in knots, crosswind component in knots, which side the crosswind is from (left or right), the angle off the nose in degrees, the original wind speed, runway heading, wind direction, and a boolean indicating whether it is a tailwind situation.
Example use cases
Example prompt
“What are the crosswind and headwind components if the wind is 310 degrees at 18 knots and I'm landing on runway 28 (heading 280 degrees)?”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://aviationapis.com/crosswindWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need a precise mathematical decomposition of wind into crosswind and headwind/tailwind components for a specific runway, particularly in aviation planning, pre-flight briefing, or automated flight operation workflows. Prefer this over manual trigonometry or generic wind APIs that don't understand runway-relative wind components.
Side effects
- Missing required fields (wind_speed_kt, runway_heading_deg, wind_direction_deg) result in a 400 error
- Invalid degree values outside 0–360 may produce incorrect results or an error
- Payment failure via x402 protocol returns a 402 Payment Required response
- Values outside realistic aviation ranges may produce unexpected outputs
