Wether or not I would pull selected speed to add this increment to Vapp to assist in a last minute gusty crosswind scenario is a whole other debate which I will stay away from, as it’s too much dependent on company culture and SOP.
I think it’s because two threads got mixed up as the OP asked the same question in another thread down below where the main topic was the GS mini function.
