Back to the question



Wet runway and crosswind:

On landing NO effect
On take-off it does effect, wet rwy max. crosswind (guideline) is lower than on a dry rwy.

Main reason is lesser grip of the nosegear in case of engine failure.

Hence:

Engine inop and crosswind:
On landing NO effect
On take off it does effect, wet rwy max. crosswind (guideline) is
lower than on a dry rwy.

Main reason is lesser grip of the nosegear.
On landing no effect but in the landing roll-out there is ofcourse a noticable easy handling yaw difference due assymetrical reverse thrust.



A runway with either standing water / slush, snow or ice is affected on max crosswind (guideline) on BOTH take off and landing.
