Bally Heck,
Are you quoting from a Boeing Manual, or a company version of a Boeing manual, that could be the difference, unless Boeing has changed things since I last operated B767.

As I said before, those numbers are very B744.

To those who were brought up on wings level/crab cross wind approaches, the B767 came as quite a shock to some, as if Boeing had committed some kind of heresy. As the manual will tell you elsewhere, you almost can't scrape a pod on B767, short of "shortening" a main gear, you will ding the nose or tail cone and a wing tip before you get a pod, quite a change from the "good old" 707.

Where I was working, very strong cross winds in severe clear conditions were common, there was no mistaking the behavior of the aeroplane.

Tootle pip !!
