xwind limits

There are a couple of posts here that horrify me, I hope that you 2 are not airline Captains.

Why would you want to even attempt a take off in a crosswind of 40 knots +. Have you no thought of petrfying your passengers? Are you so subjected to commercial pressure that you dont care? Have you considered that if something went wrong, blown tyre or impact with airborne debris, they would hang you out to dry?

The only reasons to operate in those conditions would be a dire emergency (civil war ect.)

If you want to fly like that, go join the military or do it by yourselves.
