Winds 230@20 on runway 29 was a 17.5 crosswind
componant

Actually it's 15 kts crosswind component.



Actually it's a 17.320508075688772935274463415059 kt crosswind
component.


Call it 17.4 to be safe.

I did it with a whizwheel this morning. .2 is pretty darn close.

You were closer than that! .02 and change.

Rule of thumb is fine, really. 30 degrees' componenet is half, 45 is 3/4
60 and over should be counted as 100%.
