Is the number in the Moth POH a structural limitation (i.e. the crosswind at or below which the airframe has been demonstrated as capable of enduring for the life of type if no correction for the crosswind is made during landings) or an aerodynamic limitation (i.e. the crosswind at or above which the airframe has been demonstrated as incapable of compensation on landing, despite control inputs from the pilot)?
