Cheers for the info guys!
I would imagine that my crosswind limit in my PA 38 is a company/flying school chosen limit.
The 737's crosswind limit is just a tad more than the Piper's
I bet that 40kt crosswind was damn interesting!
I had an experience late last year, landing into Goodwood, and it was the first time I'd been flying to the airfield, and the winds there weren't exactly pleasant to say the least, but on the second try I landed it - a bit of a sweaty experience!
....but hey this is what flying is all about, encountering challenging situations.
