What is the headwind component for a landing on Runway 18 if the tower reports the wind as 215° at 30 knots? Inability to get airborne even though airspeed is sufficient for normal takeoff needs. What true airspeed should a pilot expect at 9,000 feet on a standard day with 65 percent maximum continuous power?

In the Cessna 172S Pilot’s Operating Handbook (POH), the landing distance decreases by 10% for every 9 knots of headwind. For the Cessna 172, landing distance increases by 10% for every 2 knots of tailwind. Your aircraft will fly at a faster true airspeed at higher density altitudes.

On one trip home, we had a 50-knot headwind, really annoying at a true airspeed of only 125. The AirCam was far and away the best airplane for giving rides, screaming along at 70 knots. Tower called us and said that winds were now at 30 knots, so we headed back, carefully landed, and taxied back in.
