Sunfish,

If you're doing 75kts on final and only making 35kts on the ground, you've got a 40kts headwind. Coupled with a 20kts crosswind, I figure you've got about 45kts of wind blowing at you from 27degrees from dead ahead.

Was flying in a 45kts wind a good idea? What is the max demonstrated crosswind (by a highly experienced test pilot) in your aircraft?

Rgds,

TPK
