>Out of interest how helpful are our windchecks we give when you are in the final stages of approach after being given landing clearance<
GT3 - Speaking for myself, if it's right on limits I'm working so damn hard the chance of me working out the sin/cos of the crosswind component is remote!
There's always the possibility of course that the wind you give me at 100' will be outside the limit, which raises the possibility of a G/A.
A change from 200/25 to 190/23 frankly isn't worth mentioning. But an instantaneous 180/50 would be worth a shout
However, I suspect it's one of those things 100 pilots would have 100 different views on.
