A flight examiners interpretation during a flight test was the maximum crosswind velocity where the aircraft will still conform to the flight manual data in terms of take-off and landing distance (short-field technique).

More crosswind is possible, except to get the necessary rudder authority in the flare to straighten the nose requires a higher approach speed which will increase landing distance.
