Other than for a strong tailwind, the intensity of the wind would not otherwise affect my taxiing technique, or choice of flap position much. I will admit that I have never landed any aircraft in a direct 30 knot crosswind. I don't believe any aircraft I have flown has a demonstrated crosswind capability approaching that. That would be an aircraft which the design standards might suggest had a 150 knot stalling speed, and that's way out of my league!

Demonstrated is no more or less than its description and does not refer to the limit which could be twice the demonstrated.
I have over 2000 hrs in Seneca fives and have landed the aircraft at over twice its demonstrated limit with 90 degrees crosswind.
Reading your posts which I always love I am sure you are equally or even more capable than I
