Take Off 29 gusting 38
Landing 33 gusting 38.

So how do you know the gust value? I thought it was only reported when it exceeded the mean value by 10 kts or more?

In addition, the gust value is over the last 5 mins (I think). I tend to ask for and use the instant wind just before touchdown if I suspect it will be close to limits. Is this incorrect?

PS: There is no apostrophe in a plural: "Crosswind limit on airliners"
