X-Wind Component Determination

Geeze fellas, now I know why I was a professional F/E and a Private Pilot. Talk about make things complicated, except that is for the "Clock method". But it seems to me that the best rule to follow would be that if you have any doubts about whether or not it is safe to land in the prevailing conditions, go around and make another approach. It could be that the pilot's "limit" may be less than the published "limit". As for x-wind "limits", either demonstrated or company SOP, if it appears in the Limitations Section of the FM, then it is a limit.
