You could in fact ignore all that and just see what the aircraft tells you down approach?
what will a number tell you? That its within the demonstrated X wind component? So if its three KTS above its no go?
What do you do if its a gusting wind take the gust factor as your X wind component when on actually landing you may not have that gust factor?
Do you have enough control authority to maintain the centre line down the approach!
i think we all know when its a no go for our experience levels and the aircraft and a number is just an indication.
i Think I would look at the actuals and TAFS before taking off and look at the potential X wind component then before taking to the air as part of my destination decision as well as looking at my alternatives.
demonstrated is just that and I have landed in double the demonstrated before now.
OK just adding another ingredient into the mix
(stirring
