    Voorbeeldzinnen

    1. The most common prevailing wind direction, taken over the year and for individual months, is south-westerly.
    2. In addition, the old southern runway was not facing in a direction with favourable meteorological conditions for take-off and landing. The most common prevailing wind direction, taken over the year and for individual months, is south-westerly. Consequently, there is a difference of around 20 degrees between the alignment of the old southern runway and the predominant wind direction. This can be disadvantageous with regard to disruptive crosswind components.
