This one has me perplexed as to
A) What is the aircrafts maximum cross wind limit
B) what would the insurance company do if I bent the plane in a moderate to heavy cross wind balls up
So here it is. In the POH that came with the 1967 C172 H this is what it has to say about the cross wind component.
The maximum allowable corsswind velocity is dependent upon pilot capability rather than airplane limitations. With average pilot technique, direct crosswinds of 15 MPH can be handled with safety.
So does it mean the max crosswind component is 15 MPH or does it mean the maximum is what ever i can handle until the day I crash it?
