Along heading 270°, changing from a 5 kt tailwind to a 30 kt headwind.

Along heading 270°, changing from a 5 kt headwind to a stronger headwind.

Along heading 090°, changing from a 5 kt tailwind to a 30 kt headwind.

Along neither heading, because the longitudinal wind component remains unchanged.
