False modesty. Your logon is a continuous public service announcement, and noone has an avatar so trustworthy or respectable. I don't even kow for sure whether you're a person, or the product of a market study. My kids want a ftb for their birthday.

I get it and I ask for it every once in awhile since most towers don't give the winds to you any more when they clear you to land. Used to be a standard call on the part of the tower, those days are over. Why wouldn't someone wanna know what the winds are?

Would I be a tool if I suggested that we have a function that enables up to "LIKE" certain tool of the day testimonials? There's just so many that I can identify with in an "I wasn't that guy, but I know that guy" way, I feel the need to recognize it somehow.

Maybe you are not aware of this so I will educate you.
Winds change with altitude and location, so what is a 30-knot crosswind 4 miles from the runway at 2,000 feet may end up being a 5-knot headwind over the runway. I would like to know if I should gradually reduce my wind correction.

Yes, please educate us.

So you're saying then, that unless ATC gives you winds on final, you wouldn't otherwise know that you had to gradually reduce your crosswind corrections? (Hint: If your "current" wind correction is causing your aircraft ground track to depart an extended final approach to the runway, you might need to "gradually reduce your wind correction".)
