Hmmm......looks to me very much like 34 Kts X-wind limit if the runway is longer than 2000m, and 30Kts X-wind limit if it is less than 2000m, ie shorter runway, higher limit.
Or do I need a dyslexia/dementia/normal age-related confusion test?
Skyjob; Yes, makes sense, plausible, but I wonder if that's the reason.
One possibility is, of course, that Crossunder's little arrows are the wrong way round, ie a forgiveable typo, unspotted since 2009. I hope that a whole generation of B737 pilots who believe that the shorter the runway the higher the X-wind limit wasn't created by that, if it was a typo. There could have been some very exciting landings, with, say, LDA 1200m and 60Kts X-wind component.
