We have a 50kt door opening limit, a crosswind component limit of 35kts and also some very restrictive individual airstrip limits.

One airstrip in particular has a SW, clockwise to NNW sector limit of only 15 kts and another 15kt limit for a 30deg arc from the E. Even that windspeed is...erm....challenging when the wind is from those sectors. The mechanical turbulance outclasses the a/c controllability above that speed.
