Hi Brutha,

Thanks for taking time to reply. I've found the historic metars (actual weather) for yesterday. Of particular interest at 1620 the wind changes from a fairly consistent 150 direction to 250. At 1720 the wind was 250/37G47 which gives about a 40kt Xwind for RW15, I'm not sure if there are other RWs? Also be aware that an aircrafts crosswind limit may be reduced by wet (or worse) runway, and reduction in runway width, and may also be different between take off and landing
