Thank-you for the cross-wind speed limits but my question is more handling. If, say you have a METAR of 18015G25 at LHR (which is a 90 degree crosswind no matter which runway you choose), then how does a 744 handle versus the mid-sized 737 or A320? Do you actually feel the plane moving to the side (even if slight) as the gusts hit the plane or is it steady?
