Despite the manufacturers statement of “max demonstrated” crosswind, there’s more to the suitability assessment than <34 knots good, > 34 knots bad. I’ve landed with a 35 knot steady state crosswind without much difficulty and diverted for less when there was a substantial gust component. Frankly, a big part of the decision process relates to how sharp I’m feeling at that particular moment. After a long day, throw in a little weather, I’m going to be more circumspect about what I will accept.
