PARADOG ,
Any Reference to that statement?
My Manual states (LIM-12 P 1/2)
‐ Maximum demonstrated crosswind................................................... .................40 kt (gust included)
Note: The maximum demonstrated crosswind value is not an Airplane Flight Manual (AFM)
limitation : It is the maximum crosswind condition experienced during the aircraft
certification campaign. Airbus recommends that operators should not intentionally
operate in crosswinds that exceed this value.
