X-wind limits are demonstrated limits and not to be compared with minimums regarding visibility/RVR and DH, MDA.
Hmmm. Yes demonstrated by a manufacturers test pilot during certification - not with 150-200 fare paying pax in the back! Despegue are you saying that if you're given a x-wind which is higher than the max demonstrated you'll go ahead an land anyway? How could you defend that if it all went wrong? You'd be hanged in my opinion. I think the Lufty demo of pushing the limits is a good demonstration of how very quickly it can all go pear shaped.
