Plane is a C172, was being a bit cheeky doing solo circuits in said wind, perhaps I exagerate a bit, the CW was 12kts, gusting to 20, so probably wasnt eaxctly 20 when I was landing. 15kts is the limit for the C172 right?
As an aside, what can happen if one pushes ones plane past the CW limit? is it an absolute no no to go over the limit, or is there a bit of leeway if for example the airport does not have an alternate runway and a stronger than the limit cw needs to be tackled?
