In aviation, we have limits for almost everything.
For wind speed or runaway contamination depth etc.
Today we ware performing few very bumpy approaches. The wind was around 40G55 knots but almost in RWY direction. BUT the turbulence was so strong; I have never ever seen something like that.
Finally we have decided to delay the last departure and wait a few hours. The wind speed at destination was forecasted to be lower after a few hours.
But I have found it very difficult to assess if the turbulence is going to be weaker or not.
Do you have any experience with cancelling or delaying you flights just because of turbulence or you just try an approach, do a go-around and go to alternate (in this case the wind at alternate was even stronger, but in RWY direction too :-)
