The prevailing wind conditions at Canberra airport.
🚩 Note: the cross-runway is magnetic Runway 30 / 12 and faces into one of the prevailing winds.
- the main runway is magnetic runway 35 / 17.
🚩 Note: when the wind is strong and between 060 and 090 (due to the sea-breeze reaching Canberra) is is difficult to land on runway 12 because of the turbulence[1] caused by the new buildings within the Majura business park. There is also turbulence caused by the high-rise cark-parking station, the Qantas Hangar and the terminal buildings affecting runway 35 and both sets of turbulence are permanent NOTAMs.
Buildings, according to the FAA should be more than 1,5 times their height away from movements areas.
