It is owned by the Lincoln Airport Authority [1] and is the second-largest airport in Nebraska.
Lincoln Municipal Airport covers an area of 17 acres (7 ha) at an elevation of 940 feet (287 m) above mean sea level.It has one runway designated 18/36 with a turf surface measuring 2,940 by 125 feet (896 x 38 m).
A low-level windshear alert system (LLWAS) measures average surface wind speed and direction using a network of remote sensor stations, situated near runways and along approach or departure corridors at an airport. Wind shear is the generic term for wind differences over an operationally short distance (in relation to flight) which encompass ...
Immediately after the wind direction is the wind speed, coded in two or three digits measured in knots, km/h or m/s. If during past 10 minutes, the weather station detects more than 10 kn (19 km/h; 12 mph) between minimum and maximum windspeed, METAR determines a wind gust exists and reports the maximum instantaneous windspeed.
The wind triangle is a vector diagram, with three vectors. The air vector represents the motion of the aircraft through the airmass. It is described by true airspeed and true heading. The wind vector represents the motion of the airmass over the ground. It is described by wind speed and the inverse of wind direction.
A majority of older automated airport weather stations are equipped with a mechanical wind vane and cup system to measure wind speed and direction. This system is simple in design: the wind spins three horizontally turned cups around the base of the wind vane, providing an estimation of the wind's speed, while the vane on top turns so that the ...
