Well - you will need to be moving forward for landing and take off!

We have an effective limit of 25kts as we need to taxi around to and from the hangar, and we will have an uncontrollable aircraft when taxying crosswind in winds over 20kts

Add to that the possible effect of low-level turbulence from buildings, trees and the topology of the area, and strong winds are just not good for low-time pilots (and some older cowardly ones, like me)
