Its pretty standard with some places

Worse one I had was a 5 knt add on for mum. Then half the gusts which was another 7 knts which was then rounded up. Another 5 knts because it was more than 10 knts xwind.

And then you were made to fly a 3degree PAPI approach. And then given a bollocking if you didn't touch down next to the PAPI's which of course was impossible to do if you flared correctly you had to drive the thing onto the deck with only a couple of cm's between the nose gear and the mains touching. It was horrible but apparently I didn't know good airmanship and this was the industry standard way of flying.
