What was the actual crosswind that day?
The INAER pilot said in the first interview (about 6:25) that when he landed earlier in the day wind was 30-50 knots variable, with strong gusts, and cloud base 400-500 metres. Not conditions that would be beyond the capability of an aircraft like a CASA 212.
