My mob says 38kt incl gusts for the A320 suck-squirt. Quite
definitive and cuts out any doubt.

The Frogmobile is quite capable of handling up to 50kts dry
and 40kts wet and regularly done in the sim just for practice
if ever a day comes when you might have to do it to survive.

"Max-demonstrated" should be THE limitation where your job
can hang in the balance - accept a few knots above and then
accidently take out just a couple of edge lights, and suddenly
max-demonstrated becomes the deciding factor in the Safety
pilot's office in giving you the arse. Believe me its happened.
