When making decisions regarding maximum wind limits, e.g. max tailwind for takeoff, I had always assumed what is officially limiting is the
steady wind, and the
gust is left to the Captain's discretion.
Now somebody pipes up that the gust is officially limiting too....
I'd like to know if this matter is left to the various company standards (if any...), or if the Manufacturers solve this doubt somewhere (the 737 manuals don't help much...)
Thank you
