In the tin
I did not say I would let them fly in that solo! I said I would take them up in that amount of wind to do handling exercises.
What they do solo really depends on the student, some can handle safely alot more than others.
I have flown with plenty of students that by the end of solo consolodation could easily handle 15g 20kts. Once confident in there abilities there is no reason why they can not.
At a commercial level I would expect my students to be able to handle 25+knots(not all though:-)
I have not flown a 22 but my understanding is that a 300 is alot more stable in stronger winds hence why there are no wind limitations in the flight manual.
Safety is my main concern aswell and we have never had any wind related incidents.
