For our company: B738 with or without winglets on wet runway = 34kts (TORA/LDA >2.000m) and 30kts (TORA/LDA< 2.000m)
I'm puzzled that the company X-wind limit increases for the shorter LDA; in fact I'm slightly puzzled that the LDA length, as opposed to runway width, affects the X-wind limit at all, although I can see that extra LDA gives more time to touch down safely. But if that's the reason, having a higher X-wind limit for a shorter runway doesn't stack up, at least to this old dinosaur. Can anyone explain, please?
