Yes, Bookworm, That is exactly what I said. There is no quoted X-Wind limit in the Flight Manual for the Dornier 328J or the DC9 and the FAA does not require that testing is done to define a limit.. .I spent a lot of time last winter trying to find out the limit for the Dornier, on a wet or slippery runway, and the answer came from the FAA certification branch that they did not require the max X-Wind to be tested?? Consequently unless the company defines a limit you are on your own.
