V1(vmcg) and cross wind B757-200

Hi,

I need some expert advice.

I am supposed to go to a place which is 30 meter (98 feet) wide and 5280 feet long with a B757-200. Our V1 are at or above Vmcg (under FAR 25.149 rules). the company limitation is 25 Kt cross wind for departure.

1/ My understanding is that any crosswind will act as a critical engine (adverse yaw), Vmcg is only valide with NO cross wind. With 25 Kt cross wind I will not have enough rudder to keep the aircraft on the runway if I have an engine failure at or above V1 Am I correct?


2/ The B752 landing gear is 24 feet wide. on a 98 feet wide runway, 30 feet of drift (at Vmcg) will only give 7 feet of runway on the side (assuming no cross wind and immediat rudder correction) am I right?


thanks for your help
