Apparently the JARs now require the airline and not the manufacturer to specify a crosswind limit. This is obviously to be derived from aircraft's FCOM. . .. .737's demonstrated crosswind limit for example is 35knots, so it is simple to set this as a limit in the airline's SOPs, however Airbus 320's manual defines a demonstrated crosswind limit for landing as 33knots gusting 38knots, and my dilema is (to avoid being a test pilot) whether to accept the 33knots as a maximum or rather the 38knots.. .. .Regarding the maximum headwind component, I am glad to hear that some airlines have imposed a wind limit of 50 knots to operate. . .. .I am especially interested in A320 operators. Do any impose a maximum headwind component. The only wind limit by the manufacturer is for door operation, 65knots. It would also be interesting to learn what operators of other types do, too.. .. .Ekola
