+ wind correction.
Wind correction = ½ steady headwind component + gust
increment above steady wind.
For Flaps 45° landing, the minimum wind correction is 5 KIAS and
the maximum is 15 KIAS.
For Flaps 22° landing, the minimum wind correction is 5 KIAS and
the maximum is 20 KIAS.
For V

EXAMPLE:
- V
REF
= 118 kt
- Reported wind = 16 kt, gusting to 25 kt
- The wind correction would be ½ (16) + (25 - 16) = 17 kt
However the maximum wind correction is 15 kt (Flaps 45°),
thus:
- V
APP
= 118 kt + 15 kt = 133 kt
