Hey Crash-bandicoot, "firm and within operational limits" on 3% of landings on a widebody is still unacceptable. Shows where we are headed with experience levels worldwide on WB, and management "well, it'll have to do, won't it?".
In this case, Capt placed in unenviable situation...personally, I would not have placed these conditions in FO's lap with (her) experience level, a decision made before ToD briefing...Penang + cb's.
CX had 15kt Max x-wind for FO when I was there decades ago. Dragon same?
