Last month I landed at night in Cologne with winds 55 knots gusting 65. It was one hell of a roller coaster. Luckily it was in VMC and relatively down the runway. In the 15 mins after my landing 3 other A/C had to go around due windshear, back into the turbulence and heavy rain showers all around.......later, during transit, it rained horizonal........have you ever seen that??!!

I was not terribly comfortable with the approach, but it was my first in such conditions so I did not really know what to expect.

My question is.......shouldn't there be maximum limits (from which ever angle), and not just limits which will tear off aircarft doors. I believe this aspect of flying is rather a 'cowboy' area.
