The local airport PSM has a single runway, with the SE end more or
less pointing toward the small city nearby. I believe the "calm"
status is defined as up to 7 knots (possibly 7 mph). So if the wind is
blowing 7 knots or less, you take off to the NW. Perhaps your airfield
has a like orientation and reason for taking off into the wind.

With 11,300' of runway at sea level you could have a 20 knot tailwind
and still not worry

Indeed, I could land on the crosswise taxiways at Pease.

(And of course I meant to say *with* the wind.)
