Han, you're cool - don't fret.

Curious that on one hand (at some schools) the "students" are not to be taught in anything above some 50% of the aircraft demonstrated component - but on test day (to prove their competence as a professional pilot) they may be expected to land in max allowable (using the figure in the ops manual).

If I were an employer (which I'm not), I'd be very unhappy if one of the pilots decided to divert an aircraft full of fare paying passengers, or a load of time restricted perishable goods, because the cross wind component was approaching 50% of the demonstrated.

Just thinking out loud - 2cents - that's all.
