Fortunately after my Geneva adventure last week (see my posting in the Questions forum!)I have been office based, observing the various weather events from the comfort and safety of my PC!
Interestingly at one point on Monday Leeds/Bradford was reporting a direct crosswind of 29knots gusting to 47. Assuming most aircraft have a crosswind limit of around 35kts what happens in instances like this where the wind is within limits but the gusts are outside?
