It's only a maximum demonstrated crosswind .....
Sorry to disagree, but as I understood it the "maximum demonstrated crosswind limit" was obtained using a brand new perfectly prepared aircraft, flown by an experienced factory test pilot, at a perfect airfield.
On the other hand, do the aircraft manufacturers' lawyers, then reduce the test figure, in order to avoid product liability claims?
So, as a moderately experienced PPL, flying well maintained, but not brand new aircraft, I have always taken the demonstrated maximum crosswind, to be my own personal limit.
What do other PPL's do?
