Dearest Client.
Are you afraid of launching out, then read this.
My M.sc 1 first semester design project was to design a Domestic Airport.
The next decision to make after choosing the aircraft size I was designing for was the Runway direction and length.
The aircraft determines the length of the runway.
I did this by studying the given site to determine the wind directions.
The North-East trade wind and South-West monsoon wind.
I made provisions for a metrological station on the site that determines the wind direction at any take-off and landing time and communicates the information to the tower, who then informs the pilot at what ends of the runway to use for take-off and landing.

I also provided the Apron where the aircrafts are parked or serviced.
There were lots of facilities to provide for this transportation means. And I learnt a lot.
One of the things I learnt was that the aircraft has to go against the wind direction.
That means, if the wind is coming from the North-East direction, the pilot will use the South-West runway end for take-off.
If he takes-off with the wind, the strong winds could blow it away, but being against the wind, creates the momentum it needs to rise above the ground.
When the pilot wants to land the aircraft, it still goes against the wind to help break its landing speed along the runway.

So, why are you waiting for everything to be in your favour before you take-off?
Why are you afraid of launching out?
Why are you stuck in the Apron, constantly servicing that idea?
Come out and take-off.

Yours everly.
