Timmcat,
I was said FO on the 737 you mention into Leeds today. The final windcheck we received was 260/42. To make our maths easy we used 2/3rds mean wind rounded up giving 30 knots. We had briefed this upper limit figure prior to approach (also in the case of the wind veering)so knew when to go around as in the first case. Company limits are 35 dry and 30 wet so worked well for us today.
That said, it was an interesting approach and I am sure quite interesting from the ground too. Certainly not an FO landing and for that I am glad. Captain did a great job though.
And yes indeed, we did have to park up into wind and still 35 odd tonnes was being blown all over the shop....quite a day.
