A good opportunity for learning; useful video.
From the general behavior of the aircraft, it does not appear that the conditions were too close to any crosswind limit. Thus the crew ability / currency remains as the dominating factor. From the approaches shown all decisions appear to be good calls, including the go-around. For those who have done it before, an opportunity to renew skills, for those who have not done it, then time to observe and learn.
Ignoring the wing waggling, tracking the aircraft cg indicates a consistent windshear on short finals; both vertical and lateral.
Perhaps the only point of concern is during one of the takeoffs there appears to be some overcontrolling: – use of NWS at high speed?
