True that I have incorrectly treated the 29G47 as a crosswind, comparing it to 33g38 demonstrated (AB AFM) or limiting (company OM-B) values. Most incorrect and thanks for pointing that out.

Once the direction enters the equation, crosswind
R33 is 17g30;
R23 is 25g40.

and there goes my sorry a$$.

CROSSWIND CONDITIONS
On initiation of the flare, rudder should be applied as required to align the aircraft with the runway centreline. Any tendency to roll downwind should be counteracted by an appropriate input on the sidestick. It is possible that a very slight wing down may be required to maintain the aircraft on the runway centreline.
In the case of a very strong cross wind, a full de-crab in the flare may lead to a significant bank correction which may reach the aircraft lateral geometry limit. Consequently, combination of the partial de-crab and wing down techniques may be required.
