WINDS ALOFT

increments up to 39,000 feet MSL.
The wind barbs indicate wind speed and direction, and always point in the direction
that the wind is coming from. The wind speed is depicted using flags at the end of the
wind barb. A short wind flag is 5 knots, a long wind flag is 10 knots, and a triangle
flag is 50 knots.
