Crazy Crosswind
« on: January 13, 2012, 12:52:00 PM »
Found this on another site.

"There was a storm over Düsseldorf's airport last week. Things got rough, with strong crosswinds that made landings pretty hard—and even caused some missed approaches."

Question from a non-pilot

Why wouldn't the airport switch landings and takeoffs to a different direction runway?  (example this n-s directions and switch to an e-w direction runway)?
