Well thanx a lot guys for the input....
this backs my decision to divert from an island airfield in the middle of the bay of bengal (india)... winds were as reported earlier but a few "brave" pilots did land ... (a certain low cost carrier with a 320 full of backpackers i guess ) ...but i decided to come back to calcutta with those winds... not with a doubt on my capability with landing a 738 with 65 tonnes on LW on a 9000 foot runway... just cuz... my books say no ... !!
