Winds from the North in Ushuaia SAWH/USH are never steady because of the montains near the airport. Gusts of 40 to 50s kts are very common.
It is a very challenging flight condition because of the turbulence, sometimes it is so strong that the AP is kicked off when flying the ILS.
The crosswind component could be very easy over limit in that condition, wind from the North approaching to Rwy 25.
