x402
Aviation Weather Crosswind & Headwind Calculator is a paid API for AI agents from aviation-weather.x402tookit.com, paid per call via x402, $0.02/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-30).
Returns live crosswind and headwind components (including gusts) for a given runway heading at an airport, with a go/no-go verdict against a pilot-defined crosswind limit.

How this service works
Live crosswind and headwind components at an airport for a runway heading, including gusts, versus your limit.
Output
Returns crosswind and headwind components in knots (steady wind and gusts separately), wind speed and direction, a human-readable verdict (e.g. 'within limits' or 'exceeds limit'), list of reasons if limits are exceeded, an observation timestamp and data age in minutes, source URL, and a degraded flag if data quality is reduced. Also includes a plain-language summary and disclaimer.
Example use cases
Pre-landing crosswind go/no-go check
“I'm about to shoot an approach into KDEN on runway 350 — what are the current crosswind and headwind components, including gusts? My personal crosswind limit is 20 knots, so let me know if I'm within limits.”
Student pilot training flight briefing
“Can you check the crosswind at KPAO for runway 310 right now? My crosswind limit as a student is 10 knots — I need to know if it's safe to go or if I should scrub the flight.”
Automated dispatch wind-component alert
“Pull the current crosswind and headwind components at EGKK for runway heading 080 degrees and tell me if gusts are pushing anything over a 15-knot crosswind — include the verdict and any reasons it fails.”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://aviation-weather.x402tookit.com/crosswind?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when a pilot or dispatch system needs a quick, computed wind-component breakdown (crosswind vs headwind) for a specific runway heading, with an explicit go/no-go verdict against a personal or regulatory crosswind limit. It is more targeted than a raw METAR decoder because it does the trigonometric wind-component math and limit comparison for you, saving the agent from having to compute components manually.
Side effects
- Invalid or unknown ICAO code returns null fields or error
- Stale METAR data flagged via degraded=true and ageMinutes being large
- No current observation available returns null for wind fields
- Network or upstream weather source outage
- Heading out of 0-360 range may return an error or unexpected result
